After reading the material, they need to write a composition above 800 characters based on their understanding of the material. Would you like try to write a composition based on the following material? This one is regarded as the most difficult in this year’s college entrance examination. Material: There is a ladder in the corner of the workshop. In order to avoid the workers being hit by the ladder, someone put up a banner beside the ladder, saying “Be careful when passing by the ladder. It might fall down. ” A couple of years has passed and none of the workers has been hit by the ladder. One day, a client comes into the workshop for a visit. He notices the banner, stands there for a second and then suggested that the banner should be changed into ‘Please place the ladder on horizontal when it is not in use.’ What does the material suggest? Can you write a composition based on this material?

Suddenly, I come up with an idea "What if someone gets hit by the ladder when it falls down?" Then, I put the ladder on horizontal, turned around and left. After I walked about 30 meters, I heard someone shouting behind me " *** ! Who moved the ladder? How could I get down?"

If he dare jump, I am sure that he needs to stay in hospital for some time.

But there are some smart netizens who write something to have fun. What I wrote is translated from a netizen's 'composition'.

I'm thinking of taking early retirement soon, and start writing seriously, but not easy for a general worker to write books, not even a historical fiction. Wan

We can share the fun even it isn't published. Wan, I have taken a lot of photos and one of my photos won prizes for me. But I still share my photos and communicate with other people who like photography on line.

Taking pictures is my hobby. I do not expect that I can be a photographer but I do feel happy when I take pictures and share them with others.
