That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English hand writing beautiful? 36 Use paper with lines When you write English words or sentences, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting straight. 37 Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure these capital letters(大写字) are written properly.

It 68 (say) that a short-tempered(脾气急躁的) man in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) was very worried and wanted to help 69 (he) rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about this day and night. But the crop was growing much 70 (slow) than he expected. One day, he came up with 71 idea that he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
