1. If you were cast away on a desert island, what would
you miss most?
I would miss my past life if I were cast away on a
desert island. Because I spend my happiest time with
my parents and friends, I miss it most. I am afraid of
loneliness. If they could live with me in the island, that
would be perfectly good.
2. What would the island have to look like
in order to be able to support life?
I wish it is always spring in the island.
The earth of the island is covered with
flowers. There are many apple trees,
pear trees, peach trees and so on. River
is flowed with milk and nectar.

make yourself? What not?

I could make harpoon,
boat, raft, cooker,
clothes made of
flowers and leaves
of trees and so on.

recorder, VCD, MP3
player, gun, axe, sword
and so on.
Suppose you were cast away on a desert island
in the Pacific Ocean, what would you do to survive?
I would not know what to do but feeling sad, sullen,
and lonely. Living in a desert, I would miss my parents
and friends. But soon I would cheer up and do something
to make myself happy. Though I couldn’ t make a tool,
I could make full use of the things I had. I could not only
use axe to chop wood but also go hunting with gun.
Wood would be used to warm myself and cook food
The important thing is that I believe as long as I am alive,
I’ll have a chance to go back home. I think strong will
and never-give-it-up spirit make me overcome all sorts
of difficulties.
