One Sunday morning, my husband and I went into a store. While paying, I heard the cashier (出纳员) say "How are you today?" as usual. I looked at her and said, "Not bad. And how are you doing?" Then I waited kindly for an answer.

She was a little surprised at first, but then she looked sad. "My grandfather is in hospital. He has a terrible illness. I know he is 91, but …" She began to cry.

"Don't worry too much. He will be better soon," I said.

"Thank you!" she replied.

Several weeks later, I went to the store again. I wanted to buy a birthday gift for my father. I saw the cashier again. I stood in her line. After the usual "How are you?", I asked quietly, "I hope this is not a bad question, but how is your grandfather doing?"

She wondered at first why I asked such a question. Then she smiled and started telling me how brave he was. She was excited, and even after I finished paying, she kept talking, sharing her happiness with people around.

I was surprised at how something so small meant so much to her. Taking time to listen after we ask "How are you?" is such a small action, but it is helpful and important to others!

Dear Ronny,

Several days ago you came to me for help. You said, "Grandpa, how could you achieve so much in your life? You're over 70 but still full of energy (精力), while I'm already tired of working. What should I do?"

I didn't say much then. But now I think it's time to answer your questions seriously. Here's what I believe.

It's important to keep your eyes wide open. Life is full of surprises, and many are good ones. If you don't keep watching for them, you'll miss a lot of excitement. Of course, you may meet up with challenges. If you do, welcome them. They'll make you smarter and stronger. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It's OK. From your mistakes, you can learn a lot.

It's also important to know what you want. Then try your best to get it. Life is all about choices (选择). Your choices today create your tomorrow. Think about your dreams, decide which one to follow and keep going.

Most importantly, never give up. The winner is the one who goes out of his way to win. Give life everything you've got, and life will give its best back to you.

Love,

Grandpa

Ⅻ. One possible version:

As middle school students, it's very important for us to be independent. What should we do to make us independent? First, let's begin by doing things for ourselves. It's our job to tidy our own rooms and make our own beds. Second, we should help with housework. We can help cook or sweep the floor in our free time. Doing housework teaches us how to look after ourselves. Third, we should learn to make plans or decisions by ourselves and not depend on others.

In my opinion, if we do these things, we'll become more and more independent.
