Anyway, someday after school, I felt bored, so I decided go to my friend's house. The important thing is my friend has a dog, even the dog is wild; dog was always barked to me; therefore, my grandparents said "DO NOT approaching that dog!" I can not understand until today, I approached to dog; the day when I was felt bored; at that moment I saw the dog's leash was not tight. I jumped out and tried to run away from the dog but dog kept chasing me. My friend's parents were followed the dog for protect me and fortunately, my friend's parents graded the leash.

"Rome wasn't built in a day." I think this proverb include meaning that everything needs to step to step; moreover, need time for establish based. In my opinion, that proverb can apply in our life.For example, Babies cannot walk before they learn how to stand, and the weakness base is easy to destroy. For me, this proverb is helpful for remind my thinking also help me to think positive; I am still on the step to achieve.

"He ran away from the rain and was caught in a hailstorm." I guess this proverb has meaning that adversity. For example, I am late for my class; moreover, my car is not working. Everyone had experience that kind of situation at least once. Personally, suffer hard time is make people stronger than before. For example, extreme sports are dangerous enough for beginner who wants to challenge; but, if people have strength to change fear to brave, people can do it whatever they want.
