It consists of 115 islands, which are famous for their amazing wildlife. However, there is one more aspect of these islands which makes them special. It’s also home to the coco-de-mer, a giant plant with the world’s largest seed and leaf.

Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents’ painful separation, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.‎ When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn’t eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse,‎ 18‎ ‎ Cowboy.‎ Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reasons.‎ I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly “shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.‎ For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted. ‎ All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.‎ My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.‎ No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!‎ I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day.

Food waste is a major problem worldwide．In the US alone ,  up to 40 percent of food goes uneaten.
