《2025年优佳学案（云南）八年级英语上册人教版》

I put down Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But I kept going over the exciting story in my mind. The book was full of magic. But Charlie’s happy family was the most magical part of the story.
Charlie’s home was a small house at the side of a big town. His family was very poor. His four grandparents stayed in the only bed in the house. The family never had adequate food. They always ate watery cabbage soup for dinner. In winter, the freezing wind swept across the floor all night long.
To my surprise, the family were happy together. In the evenings, Charlie sat with his grandparents in the bed and listened to their stories. Charlie’s parents often joined in. Every night, the room became a happy place. The whole family forgot about their hungry and poor life.
This touched me greatly. In some people’s minds, happiness comes from things like money. But love, in fact, is the key to happiness. Oscar Wilde once said, “Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden...” There are so many reasons to be happy. I think love is the most important one. It can move us, change us and give us a life full of happiness.
