When I was in primary school，my English teacher Miss Green told us that there is always a solution to every problem.
   One day，when I returned home，I found that my father was unhappy.When I asked him why，he told me that he lost his watch when he was working in the garden.He with my two elder brothers had looked for it everywhere but they couldn't find it.
   That watch was very important to my father because it was a gift from my late grandfather.So I wanted to help my father find it.I thought of the words that Miss Green had told us.But how could I find the watch？I started thinking and thinking.Then I remembered that watch ticked.But the ticking was hard to hear.I decided not to look for it here and there as they did.Instead，I put my ear on the ground.And ten minutes later，I found the watch.
   My father and brothers couldn't believe their ears.They thought I was really lucky.But I shook my head，saying，"No，it wasn't good luck.I just thought before I took action."
   There is always a solution to every problem.Just think before you take action.
