It’s never too late to do what you want to do. Anna Mary, known as Grandma Moses, grew up on a farm. As a child, she loved drawing. But she hardly ever did it because of the busy farm work.
Grandma Moses spent all her life on the farm. When she was old and found farm work difficult, she started to paint at the age of 78.
An art lover found Grandma Moses’ paintings in a shop in 1938. He bought them, and the next day he went to her farm and bought all her paintings. Soon Grandma Moses became famous. In 1940, at the age of 80, she had her first painting show in New York. Many people loved the bright colours and beautiful farm views (风景) in her works.
Grandma Moses died in 1961, at the age of 101. She painted over 1, 600 paintings in the late part of her life. “Do your favourite thing, and you will finally be successful,” she once said.

Jim got up and got dressed. Then, he looked at his toothbrush and said, “In 2025, I am going to brush my teeth after every meal.” Haha, the toothbrush fell over! Jim went downstairs and he looked at his mother and said, “In 2025, I will always be nice to you.” And his mother smiled.
When Jim arrived at school, he didn’t finish his homework. He said to his teacher, Mr Smith, “Sir, in 2025, I will always do my homework.” Mr Smith tutted (发出啧啧声) at Jim.
At lunchtime, Jim went to the canteen and he ate a burger and fries. He said to his friend, “In 2025, I am going to stop eating fast food and I am going to eat healthy food like chicken, fish and salad.” Jim’s friend just smiled.
When Jim arrived home after school, he ate his dinner and then he turned on his computer and started playing computer games. He played for three hours and he said to himself, “In 2025, I will not play computer games all the time. I am going to play for only one hour a day.” He looked in the mirror and he smiled to himself. You see, Jim made these resolutions last year, but he didn’t keep any of them!
But this time, Jim really takes these promises seriously! He thinks he can do it. Let’s hope so!
