Betty lived in a small town. Beautiful flowers were seen everywhere in the town. Because of the shyness, Betty just stood with few words in public. The shy girl hardly talked to people in social activities. She was often considered as a quiet girl in the community. She felt like a wallflower and wondered if she would go unnoticed all the time.

However, her closest friend, Fiona, was completely different. Fiona loved to communicate with others and she encouraged Betty to change. She told Betty that life wasn’t always as beautiful as roses and that everyone was able to make it full of roses.

With the encouragement of Fiona, Betty began to change. Instead of being a wallflower, she started attending a community theater class. She took an active part in acting in the theater group. Her gift for acting began to shine. However, new difficulties were never far away. One of Betty’s classmates became a thorn（刺）in her side. The classmate was not satisfied with her achievements, but Betty continued to deal with the situation. She managed to show herself and became friends with the classmate. All the changes made her feel fresh every day.

Betty’s hard work paid off when the town’s famous director, Mr. Johnson, watched one of her plays. He liked her acting so much that he offered her the lead role in his new play. Betty’s moment arrived. People were happy to watch her show.

Finally, Betty became a confident（自信的）girl. Her change was like a beautiful rose in full flower. She encountered many difficulties which taught her that there’s no rose without a thorn. But those thorns helped her develop her abilities. Betty proved（证明）that personal changes were possible for anyone.

Last July, my family took a holiday in a village. We stayed there for five days and enjoyed ourselves every day. However, when we went home by train, my 6-year-old son found his favorite ball was lost. The ball was a gift from his best friend, so I knew what it meant to him. I called the hotel which we stayed in, but they said, “Sorry. No one has found a lost ball here.” My son was very sad.

One week later, we received a box from the hotel. My son couldn’t wait to open it. He was very happy to see his ball in the box. I was glad that the hotel helped us find the ball in the end.
