9． I'm Susan. I'm a slim (苗条的) girl. Many girls ask me about how to be slim. I never exercise and I like eating meat. There's only one reason behind it: my mom.
My mom cooks every day, but she even can't cook a simple meal well. Our kitchen has been on fire many times. Twice this month! She's a disaster (灾难) in the kitchen. We ask her to stay out of the kitchen, but she never listens to us. She wakes up early every morning and goes home early after work. She cooks every meal for us. We have to eat what she makes — or we eat what we can. So all of my family are not fat.
Last Saturday, Mom tried to cook chicken for dinner. The result was a burning (着火的) kitchen. Luckily, Dad did his best to save the family and put out the fire. Now, when Mom goes to the kitchen, I start to worry about our lives.
Although we have a bad cook at home, our house is always full of people for lunch and dinner. I don't think they come for delicious food. They must enjoy the happy time at my home. In fact, my mom is warm, friendly and funny. I love her, though she can't cook well.

That week seemed like the longest week in his life. Every day when he got home from school, a pencil and a piece of paper were the first things in his hands. Then, the day of the competition came. He finished his drawing quickly.
After two weeks, Tommy got a letter. Tommy was too afraid to open the letter. At last, he opened it slowly. Just as he read it, he began crying (哭). However, they were not tears (眼泪) of sadness…They were tears of happiness.
