It was a lovely spring afternoon. My classmates and I were playing happily on the playground when I let out a cry, “Ow! Something in my shoe is biting me.” Everyone was shocked by the cry. They took me into a classroom and were about to take off my shoe. “Which foot is it?” one asked. “Let us have a look.”
Suddenly, I remembered the holes in my socks. My family was very poor during those years. I wore welfare socks, which cost only a little but didn’t last long. They soon had holes at the bottom.
I refused to take off my shoe. I couldn’t stand others seeing the holes in my socks.
My teacher, Miss Diane, hurried into the classroom, “What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Something is biting her right foot, but she doesn’t let us take off her shoe.”
Miss Diane lived next door to me. She knew everything about my family. “Oh, yes, it must be a sock-eating ant,” she said. “I had a bite from one of those ants. By the time I got my shoe off, it had eaten almost the whole bottom off my sock.” My classmates nodded (点头) but they all looked a little puzzled.
Miss Diane took off my right shoe and sock and shook them over the dustbin. Two red ants fell into it.
“Just like what I thought. The ants have eaten part of her sock,” she added. “You are such a brave girl to take so many bites.”
A little girl’s pride was saved by the “sock-eating ant” story.

Let’s start with small changes!
Our government is doing its best to build an economized society. As a middle school student, I think we can do something for the society and the environment by making small changes.
Firstly, make sure that the lights are turned off when we finish our work and leave the room. Secondly, we can save as much paper as possible. Thirdly, it is important for us to form the habit of turning off the tap after it is used. What’s more, we must not spend money buying unnecessary things. When we eat, we’d better not use one-off chopsticks and we mustn’t waste
food.
In a word, saving energy is very important. Let’s work together from now on!
