I'm told there is a tree in Indonesia called the "upas." This tree is poisonous and grows so full and thick that it kills all plants growing beneath it. I'm sorry to say that I know some people like that. They are self-centered and try to keep the attention to themselves. Like the upas tree, they provide no chance for anyone around them to grow. on the other hand, I remember trying(remember+동명사=과거에 이루어진 상황을 설명)to balance while walking on a railroad track. I couldn't walk too far without losing(전치사+동명사) my balance. But when my buddy got on the other side, we could hold each other's hands and serve as balances for each other. You and I have a choice to make. We can choose to be like the upas tree or we can stretch out our hands to help others. (135 words)
