1. Describing My Pencil, Sample 1:
Upon returning home after a semester studying abroad in England, my older sister brought me a charming and unique pencil that I had never seen before.
The pencil is longer than an adult's forearm, approximately 25cm, larger than a regular chopstick used for daily meals. Its tip is sharp and extends prominently from the pale yellow wood. Carved lines on the pencil create intertwining patterns resembling small waves running around. The outer casing of the pencil is coated with glossy sea blue paper, adorned with logos representing prestigious universities in England written in foreign languages. Some logos resemble shields of brave warriors, while others depict majestic eagles soaring, forming a colorful and eye-catching pencil. At the end of the pencil, there is a small silver metal piece where a tiny white eraser is attached, allowing quick erasure of mistakes.

At the beginning of the new school year, my mother took me to the stationery store to purchase school supplies. Standing before the glass cabinet displaying a wide variety of pencils, of various shapes and sizes, I was greatly perplexed as to which one to buy. After some contemplation and advice from the salesperson, I finally found a 2B pencil that I was extremely pleased with.
The pencil adorns itself with a coat of bronze yellow, still exuding the scent of fresh wood. Along its body is printed with the words 'Made in Germany', after asking my mother, I learned that this pencil originates from Germany. Initially, the pencil's length is approximately 18 centimeters, but after some use, it has shortened somewhat. A tiny eraser is attached to the end of the pencil, making it very convenient to use. The graphite core is shiny black, neither too soft nor too hard, helping me create very sharp lines. Along with many other study materials, the pencil is the close companion of us students. It not only assists me in my studies but also accompanies me in creating colorful paintings. I use the pencil to draw landscapes, mountains, portraits of people, etc. Since having this pencil, I enjoy drawing much more.
This is the pencil that I have liked the most so far. I will try my best to take care of it carefully and use it to create soft and meaningful lines in my drawings.

The pencil is a familiar study tool for every student. It has become one of the essential study tools in coloring and drawing classes. My pencil is the 2B Hutis PC-100 pencil with a length of about 20 cm. This type of pencil is made from wood material. The pencil body is designed hexagonally to make it easier for the user to hold. Around the pencil body is a layer of dark green paint that looks very eye-catching. Prominent on it is the silver printed text HUTIS PC - 100 PENCIL. One end of the pencil has been sharpened to expose the graphite tip, while the other end is marked with the 2B symbol. This number indicates the hardness of the pencil lead. The graphite tip is made from graphite, is black, and has a bold stroke. Whenever the tip is blunt, I usually use the cute bear-shaped sharpener to sharpen the pencil and continue writing. That pencil has helped me a lot in practicing handwriting, doing math problems, especially playing an important role in helping me create beautiful paintings. Those are paintings of my beloved school, portraits of family members, or landscapes, animals. I really like the 2B Hutis pencil, it is my close friend every time I go to class. My dad said that if I have good academic results, he will buy me a whole box of pencils to unleash my creativity. I am very happy about that, I promise my dad that I will try my best to achieve the set goal.
At the end of the day, I call it quits.
