2nd Grade Version To understand why the American Revolution happened, we need to look back at the years from 1754 to 1763. During this time, the British and the French were fighting in a war on land that is now part of the United States. This war is called the French and Indian War. The British wanted to control more land, and the French wanted to keep their land. Many Native Americans chose to help either the British or the French during this war. In 1759, British soldiers went to a city called Québec in Canada and won a big battle there. They took over another city called Montréal the next year. After that, there weren't many big battles left between the British and the French in North America. The fighting mostly stopped by 1763 when a peace agreement called the Treaty of Paris was signed. Why did the British start taxing the colonists, and why did this make them mad? The British government made laws and taxes that affected the colonists. Many colonists felt proud to be British, but they believed they had rights that the king should protect. They didn't like the Stamp Act, which was a new tax. In Virginia, some leaders, called the House of Burgesses, said that the British Parliament shouldn’t be taxing them. In 1765, the prime minister of Britain was George Grenville. He created the Stamp Act because he needed money to pay for British soldiers in North America. He thought the colonists should help pay for these soldiers who were protecting them. At first, the British leaders were surprised by how upset the colonists were. Grenville did not listen to their complaints and was eventually replaced in 1766. A leader named George Washington fought in the French and Indian War along with the British. He helped lead soldiers against the French. He became a well-known leader and was even elected to help make laws in Virginia.

There were two neighbors, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Ray. They were very different. Mr. Thomas was always patient and kind. His garden was full of flowers, and his door was always open to visitors. His days were peaceful. Mr. Ray, on the other hand, was often angry. His garden wasn't well-kept, and his words were harsh. His days were lonely. One day, after a storm, there was a big hole in the fence between their houses. Mr. Ray wasn't happy. “This is terrible! Was the wind too strong?” he shouted. Mr. Thomas smiled. “Yes, it was strong. But maybe this is a good thing.” “How can this be good? The fence was important!” Mr. Ray asked. “Was it?” Mr. Thomas said. “Or was it only a wall between us?” The next day, Mr. Thomas was outside, planting new flowers where the fence used to be. Mr. Ray watched. He thought about his neighbor’s words. That afternoon, he was outside too, bringing a chair. He sat and talked to Mr. Thomas. For the first time, his day wasn't lonely. From that day on, the two men were not just neighbors. They were friends.

我名叫李文祺,生於香港但在美國讀書長大。前陣子我決定回到香港老家龍躍頭走走,探尋自己的家族根源。 當我踏入這個小村莊時,立即被它獨特的氛圍所吸引。陽光灑落在斑駁的青磚牆上,散發出一股歲月雋永的味道。傍晚時分,我漫步在狹窄的主巷上,映入眼簾的是整整齊齊的中式厝舍,屋簷前懸掛的古老木雕和陶塑裝飾更是令人讚嘆。 走近仔細觀察,這些房舍無不精心設計,斗拱、檐板上的細緻雕刻猶如置身於一個時光隧道。我忍不住伸手撫摸著這些曾經見證過歷史的磚塊,感受它們散發出的沧桑感。原來,這些防禦性極強的圍牆和護城河,都是為了對抗當年肆虐一時的海盜們,守護著這片淳樸的村莊。 沿著蜿蜒的小徑來到一座宏偉的宗祠,松嶺鄧公祠。進入大殿,我被那精緻的木雕、壁畫和斗拱深深吸引住了。置身其中,我仿佛感受到了鄧氏先祖的英勇事蹟和崇高精神。這裏無疑是這個古老家族的靈魂所在。 漫步在寧靜的天后宮前庭,我聆聽著空靈的鐘聲,便會不自覺地沉浸在寧謐祥和的氛圍中。這裏保存著珍貴的青銅古鐘,每次擊響都訴說著這個村莊的動人故事。我不禁想像,多少善信在此虔誠懇求,又有多少鄧族子弟在此祈求平安順利。 這個被時光深深烙印的龍躍頭,無疑是一個值得細細品味的寶地。走在這裏,彷彿可以穿梭時光,感受到前人創造的文化價值和歷史傳統。我衷心希望,這片養育我家族的淳樸土地,能永遠保持它應有的神韻和魅力。

She moves through places time forgot, Where iron bleeds and hinges rot. Most would turn and walk away, But love, you choose to stay. You run your hands along the rust, Not with disdain, but quiet trust. You do not flinch, you do not fear— You know that beauty lingers here. A broken chain, a weathered nail, A lock long lost to rain and hail— You lift them up, you see their worth, You press them back into the earth. And love, I watch—I always do, Not just the work, but all of you. How in your touch, the wreckage glows, How even ruin somehow knows. That rust is not the end of things, But proof of all the time they’ve seen. That love is not untouched, unscarred, But something worn, yet standing hard. So if I break, if I erode, If time should wear me to the bone— I know with you, I won’t decay,
