When my little brother Tom was four，Mum said something like “I'd give anything to have a few more hours in the day”.And Tom said，“Why don't we buy a bigger clock？” If time worked that way，I could have used an extrabig clock last week！

Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat.“I can't believe we only have two nights to finish it，” Noah said with a sigh.“I have no idea how I'll get mine done.”

I didn't say anything，not because I was nervous—I wasn't nervous at all.I love art projects！In fact，I was so relaxed that I didn't work on the project at all on Monday night.I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday.But there was just one thing.

I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies，which happens every month，and it's a chance for us older students to practice baseball with the adorable younger kids.The second I got home，I threw the entire craft box（工艺盒）onto the kitchen table，took out my“How Plants Eat” paper，and started to work.But just then，the telephone rang.

It was my friend Ollie，who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I'd come to help decorate them.I love decorating cookies，and I love，love，love Abuela's worldfamous holiday cookies！

I had no choice.I had to go.Ollie and I put all the starshaped cookies with red jam filling in one group，and all the snowflakeshaped cookies with white creamcheese filling in another.It was 7 o'clock when I finally got home.I planned to work on my project right after we ate.But then another interruption hit me.

Paragraph 1：

Just as I was about to start，Dad said，“Joanna，it's your turn to do the dishes.”It was then that I remembered my duty.There was no excuse.I couldn't shirk my duty，so I rushed to the kitchen with the piles of dirty plates and washed them as quickly as I could.When I was finally able to sit down at the kitchen table，it was already 8：30！At that moment，I wished，for a thousand times，that I had used an extrabig clock for extra time！However，the truth was that no matter how hard I tried，I could not finish my whole project in such a short time.As a result，my art teacher failed me the next day.

Paragraph 2：

Looking at the big“F”on my paper，I started to reflect on what I had done these days.If I had done my art project on Monday night，I could still enjoy the baseball practice and the cookie decoration.Unpredictable things happen all the time，so the best solution is to plan ahead and take action as planned.We can't actually buy a bigger clock and have more time，but we can surely make better use of it.I failed the project，but I was lucky to have learned the lesson of “a bigger clock”.

Ella's First Fashion Creation

Ella was wearing a new dress and she felt like a famous model.Even better，it was a dress she made！Her very first piece of fashion！

“What do you think？”she asked her parents.They all gathered at the kitchen table for breakfast.“It's very pretty.I can't believe you designed and sewed that all by yourself！”Mum said.“I'm so proud of you！How long did that take？” Dad asked.Ella pulled out her chair and sat down.“Two weeks！But I think I could make the next one faster.I had a few problems.”

Ella smiled.She had so many problems when making the dress，but it was all worth it.It was going to be a great day.

The kids at school weren't quite as excited about her dress as she thought they would be，but she did get some nice comments from some of the girls，so she was happy about that.The day went by quickly，and before she knew it，she was outside the classroom for the last break of the day.“What a perfect day！” she thought to herself as she swung on the swing.

The school bell rang and the break was over.When the swing was close to stopping，Ella jumped off.When she landed，she heard a tearing sound.She moved her hand to the back of her dress.It was ripped all the way down the back！Her very first fashion creation fell apart！Ella was so embarrassed.

Ella spotted her teacher，Miss Miller，near the door.Ella took one hand from her dress and waved to Miss Miller to come to her.Miss Miller came up and looked at the back of Ella's dress.“Oh no！It is such a beautiful dress！”“I made it myself，”Ella said.“You must be very proud！You did a great job！”“Not really.Or it wouldn't have ripped.”“Well，that happens sometimes，even with clothes you buy in the store！”

Paragraph 1：

Miss Miller took off her sweater and helped Ella to put it on.The sweater was long enough to cover the ripped part of Ella's dress.While she was on her way home，she even felt all the people appeared to be talking about her ripped dress.As soon as Ella got home，she couldn't help crying and ran right into Mum's room to tell her what had happened.She felt very ashamed and said she regretted wearing the dress to school.

Paragraph 2：

“We can't avoid problems，”said Mum.Then Mum hugged Ella.She told Ella that brave people would always face problems bravely and solve them in time.Hearing Mum's powerful words，Ella slowly raised her head.She wiped her tearful eyes and ran to her room.After 10 minutes，Ella came out in her wellrepaired dress.“This is only the very beginning of fashions by Ella！Just wait for more great Ella fashions，” Ella said excitedly.
