I always thought this was a g 7 between her and me. She saw the confusion （迷惑）on my f 8 and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life. ” I saw her eyes were filled with t9 . She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder. "I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?" She replied, " No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when he or she cries.

It remained me that the sea could be as d 9 as it was beautiful.When we reached 150 meters, it was dark. The sun’s light could not r10 this depth. We turned on our lights and came to a steep rock wall. I thought that this must be Crespo Island.(7)Whether it is a child, a teenager, a middle-aged person or an old person, everybody needs good friends.During childhood, (1) f helps us understand the importance of sharing and caring.
