When I was young, my mother ask me a question, do you want a chocolate, and I say of course, and my mom give me a small chocolate, and I suddenly saw many big chocolate in her hand, and I said that I want them, and she agreed, so she take the small and one away and change it into a big one. But I saw a much bigger chocolate in mom's hand, and I said that I want that to. And at last, I didn't get any thing because I was so greedy. 

Here is my homework:
 

太阳在这个伟大的日子早晨散发出耀眼的光芒,但是这大地被雪覆盖白茫茫的一片,并且空气也是非常寒冷。

wonka的工厂大门外,有大量的人们已经聚集在门口就是为了见证五位金劵拥有者进入的过程。那是多么激动啊!当时只是在十点钟之前。人群拥挤着, 尖叫着, 并且警察们互相拉着手臂尝试让这些人群远离大门。

 

The sun provided bright sunshine on the great day’s morning. But the ground was covered by snow and was white. The air was cold.

 

In the outside of the wonka’s factory, there are a large number of people have gathered in outside of gates for seeing the five golden ticket holder enter. That is so exciting. It just was before 10 o’clock. The crowds pushed each other and shouted at each other; at the same time, these policemen connect with each other by arms for stopping them away the gates.

 

There was a celebrity called Yan Jiansheng that from a famous story in China. When he was at death’s door, because his family kindled one more wick, he thought their family wasted them. Accordingly, he dead quickly after his family crushed out the wick. No, but he thought that everything is very valuable.
