Dear Diary, Sept. 22nd, 2035
This morning after breakfast, my mum told me to take out the rubbish, but some strange
aliens kidnapped( 绑 架 ) me and took me to their UFO. It looked really strange like a big
ketchup( 番茄酱 ) bottle.
These aliens looked very weird, too. They were tall, thin and green, looking like big ugly
frogs. They told me they were from a planet far, far away.
I was so scared when I first got kidnapped! The aliens just took me right into their UFO.
They tied me up and started asking me all kinds of questions about the Earth. I didn’t say
anything, no matter what they did. I wasn’t going to help them attack( 攻击 ) our planet! After
thirty minutes or so, they got really angry and went away.
When they were gone, I broke the rope( 绳子 ) on my body and ran through the UFO, hiding
whenever I heard a noise. Finally, I found a door. There was a strange button( 按钮 ) near the door,
so I pushed it. The door started disappearing and the floor was moving! It turned out that I was in
a mini-rocket. I flew back to the Earth and ran inside my house to give my mum and dad a big
hug.

There are many islands in the sea. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them
“coral islands( 珊瑚岛 )”.
A coral island looks like a ring of land( 一圈陆地 )with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One
part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers. If you
look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea
animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last
it grew out of the water.
