My Personal Experience
When I was in junior high school, I was not a very
diligent student. In fact, I was quite lazy. I hated all the
subjects that I took during school, especially science. For me
science was very difficult. It was hard for me to remember
the chemical processes, physics calculations, and biological
processes.
Once, my teacher grounded me in the library because I
did not do my Biology homework. The teacher asked me to
read several books and make a summary about them. When I
was browsing the shelves, I found a book entitled The
inventors of Medicine. I thought OK, this is a start. I took
it out then began reading it.
I learned from the book about Edward Jenner. He was
an English doctor who found the cure for smallpox. The next
one was Louis Pasteur. His interest in bacteria led him to
discover the treatments for rabies and anthrax. Just like
Pasteur, Robert Kochs experiments on bacteria also proved
that tuberculosis can be spread to others by contact. Finally,
there was Alexander Flemming, a British bacteriologist who
found the first antibiotic and penicillin.
After I read the book, I realised that science is
useful for human kind. By studying, we can discover things
that can help human kind. Therefore, since that moment, I
managed to change my behaviour and became a doctor.

Mantus Little Elephant
Little Mantu lived in a village deep in the jungle where elephants

helped the men with their work. These elephants were so big and
strong. They could lift up the heaviest logs with their trunks and toss
them high in the air.
Now, Mantu had an elephant of his very own. His name was Opie.
He was just a baby and Mantu loved him very much. Mantu whispered
to Opies ear that someday he would become the biggest, strongest and
bravest elephant in the jungle. The other elephants heard this. They
began to laugh and made rude noises with their trunks. Were so big
and tall, but youre so small. Youre nothing at all, said one of the big
elephants.
Mantu looked up at the huge elephant with a mishievous glint in
his eye. Youre so tall and can see far away. We can see what is
happening down here in the jungle. In fact, we would be the rst to
see any slithering snakes that may be a danger. After hearing the word
snakes, the elephants screeched and off they gwents thundering in
fright.
Did I say there were snakes? giggled Mantu. No, I dont think
so, smiled Opie. Mantu then climbed upon his little friends back and
went home to the village to tell everyone about the foolish elephants.
