However, after finishing thinking over my problems and interviewing other teammates about skills, I started   5 the tools I learned years ago: practice and time. They were really useful. A few months later, I was still 6 , but I was different. I knew what to do next. I always kept trying. Then I found I became a good English 7 . I shared my experience with my students.

Actually, most people are happy when you are trying to learn their language. They won’t laugh at you. Then you may find another difficulty when you speak with others. That is 7 vocabulary.

You have to understand the tones (音调) and the 3 , and change your thinking, ” he said. 4 many students, the learning process is not easy. Prosper Marindiko, another Chinese language learner, believes that motivation (动机) is very important to learn a second language as an adult. “ 5 it worries you a lot, because you think you have understood this word, then when you meet a Chinese out there and try to say the word, they don’t 6 you at all,” he said. “I learn Chinese because at work we communicate a lot with the Chinese, and usually we have some wrong understandings 7 language trouble,” said Marindiko.

Instead, he spent some time in the library, 5 for his upcoming tests. He reviewed his notes and did some exercises to make sure he understood everything.

If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the 6 of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.

After a short time while he was 5 , I gave him a jog and made him blot his paper. “You did that on purpose,” he said with a smile. On my way home that afternoon, I noticed Coretti following me. I stopped and 6 him. “Enrico, let us be good friends again, as before. We shall have no 7 shall we?” said Coretti. “Never again! Never again!” I replied. And we parted.

Finally, she found the 5 teacher, Nina, to help me make my dream come true. She 6 me and told me that I would speak again. The most amazing thing was that she taught me to read my 7 . I remember that I spent hours in front of the mirror and tried to repeat every word that I said. Imagine losing your speech and having to learn everything again. For me, it was like being 8 again.

In the second picture, we saw the lightning (闪电) hit the tree and set it on fire. Besides this, someone rubbed (摩擦) two rocks together and that 3 grass to start burning. So the earliest fire in the world 4 . In the third picture, some people were hunting animals. The teacher said people could warm themselves around the fire, so they could move to 5 places. And they lost their thick, heavy body hair 6 they didn’t need it. People began to hunt on cold days. Then, some furry (毛茸的) animals were sleeping and people could catch them 7 .

In order to solve it, he made “heated earmuffs”! Bette Nesmith Graham was a typist (打字员), but she was not very good at typing. She often made mistakes in her work. To 3 her mistakes, she invented “Liquid Paper (修正液)”. It dried quickly and made her able to write on top of it 4 this time. To invent something isn’t necessarily difficult. The important thing is that it works and is 5 . Little Katie Harding, 5 years old, didn’t like walking to the school bus on 6 and rainy winter mornings. She kept walking into muddy puddles (泥坑) because she couldn’t see them, and did her brother, who always walked with her and held the 7 over them. Katie’s simple but wonderful 8 was to fasten (使固定) a flashlight to the umbrella. The “muddy puddle spotter” was born. Next time something doesn’t work in the way you want it to, do something about it! Things have been invented can always be improved. New ideas can always be found. If you 9 , that’s OK.

So let me tell you! You know the famous actress Audrey Hepburn and Hanson’s wife? I just look like them. As a robot, I have many 4 . I can speak, joke, sing and even make art. In March, I made a digital (数字的) artwork. It was sold for $688,888! People around the whole world felt 5 about it. I’m so excited about my job as a(n) 6 . In the future, I will continue to explore (探索) the art world. The next step of my career may be that of a musician. Now, I’m working on several 7 works in a project called Sophia Pop. I will team up with human musicians to produce music. I can’t help 8 when I think of this! I can open my mouth to talk with people. I feel that I am not a robot but a real person!

We always allowed them to bring a friend or two to 2 us. I made it a rule that there wouldn’t be telephones, televisions or computers in their bedrooms. I didn’t want to live with antisocial (不合群的) 3 that only came out of their rooms to eat and take a bath. I really wanted them to be a 4 of the family! All my kids say it was a (n) 5 decision. And so far the same 6 go for the grandchildren too. I couldn’t promise to live forever but I could teach them to live 7 me. That meant they had to learn how to cook a few simple meals, do some washing, and clean up after themselves. Their father had a few rules too. For example, they had to know how to use a fire extinguisher (灭火器), and master some 8 repairing skills. Even the girls went to college with a toolbox. There were some other pretty strange rules that actually helped them and their friends. They could call me any time 9 they or their friends found themselves in a difficult or dangerous situation.

One day, my art teacher, Mr. Brown came into the classroom. Without saying anything, he drew a line on the blackboard. Looking at the confused students, he asked, “Who can make the line 1 ?” Before he finished what he wanted to say, all of us laughed and cried, “That’s too easy.” “But there are some 2 . You can’t remove the existing (已有的) line. You can’t erase (擦除) any part of it. 3 you can’t even touch it.” Mr. Brown added. We had never thought that the line needed to be shortened without doing anything to it! All at once, the whole class fell into 4 . We were just looking at each other, but 5 of us came up with any idea. All our mind seemed to go blank. When I looked at Tom, the smartest student in the class, I noticed him quietly lower his head. After a while, complaints could be heard everywhere. “It’s impossible. It can’t be done.” “How can we do that without touching the line?” Mr. Brown didn’t say anything. Slowly he 6 a piece of chalk, and carefully drew on the board another line that was longer than the first one. Then he 7 , “We can’t make the line shorter, but we can draw a longer line to make it look shorter.” For some time there was dead silence. Then smiles of understanding appeared on every young face. Finally we shouted and applauded (鼓掌) 8 as we realized we had learned a useful lesson. For many people, when they are faced up with competition, the first idea that will come into their mind easily is to cut others’ line short. However, the art teacher showed his primary students in a 9 way that it is the wrong way to win a competition 10 cutting the line short.

Near the beach, there was a(n) 1 . When the tide (潮水) goes out, you can walk to it, but when the tide comes in, you can’t get to it. Mum and Dad never let us go there. When we arrived at the beach, the tide was out. My sister 2 playing there. “But Mum and Dad say it’s dangerous.” I said. “Don’t worry,” said my sister. “I’ll 3 you.” I was a bit afraid, but the island looked very nice in the autumn sunshine. We walked over the sand to the island and started to 4 around. Later, we ate our sandwiches. Then we threw stones into the sea. After a bit, dark clouds covered the sun and it got windy. We decided to go back home. But we couldn’t find the beach. The tide came in and 5 it. The water was too deep and I started to cry. “Quick!” shouted my sister. “Climb on my back.” 6 , my sister was very strong and ran through the deep water with me on her back. We got back to the land safely. When we finally got home, Mum 7 why we were so wet. “We went to the forbidden (禁止进入的) island. Sorry, Mum.” we said, afraid and upset (沮丧的). Mum looked 8 but was relieved (如释重负的) that we were safe. She hugged us closely and said,“I’m glad you’ re both OK. Remember, it’s 9 to listen to Mum and Dad’s rules to stay safe.” We nodded.

It was one of my favorite things to do. However, as I 1 , there were more and more cars on the road, so I seldom rode bikes. And there were not cycle-ways on some roads, so people had to ride bikes around cars. It is very 2 to ride a bike with lots of cars because cars sometimes may hit cyclists and 3 kill them. However, now more and more people begin to ride bikes again, so I decide to have fun on the 4 again. I ride my bike to the gym, to the shopping mall or to the park. I still feel 5 when I have to ride around cars, motorcycles and people. So I always watch out for traffic 6 I am turning the corner or crossing the road. I never ride too fast. In that way I can 7 myself from traffic accidents. In fact, riding bikes is a fun way to explore the city! I start to use the public bikes, too. 8 weekends, my friend and I sometimes ride public bikes to parks. Some apps make it easy and cheap for 9 to ride.

But no matter how many books Parker read, 3 had read more. One day, Jaron went to the store and found Parker’s problem. Then Jaron decided to 4 the contest himself. So Jaron put away his own bike and, with his library card in hand, went to 5 . He read as long as eight hours a day. The idea of preparing such a wonderful gift for his little brother kept Jaron going. The final day came and Jaron 6 the contest by reading 280 books. With his parents’ help, he hid the bicycle in his grandma’s basement (地下室) until New Year’s Eve. He could hardly wait to give Parker his gift! On New Year’s Eve, the whole 7 got together at Grandma’s home for a big party. Mother first told the Apple Tree story—a story about giving, and then told another loving story of a brother who had read 280 books to win his little brother a bike. “My 8 would also do something like that for me,” Parker said.

The young man told his father his sadness and how much he missed him. To his surprise, he received an 3 text message from the phone number. He was encouraged to face difficulties in life 4 . The phone number belongs to Mr. Gao now—a 5 man. At first, he thought it was a text message sent 6 . After reading it carefully, he thought the man who had sent the text message must have had some difficulties and needed to be 7 . He decided to reply the text message after thinking twice.

So last Tuesday, when I got home, I told 2 I was going to tell my father I loved him. It was strange, but just making that 3 seemed to take a load (沉重感) off my mind. I was so excited that I could hardly sleep during the night. The next morning, I went to 4 early. At 9:00 in the morning, I called my dad to ask whether I could come over after work. He 5 . At 5:30 in the afternoon, I was at my parents’ house ringing the 6 , expecting that Dad would answer the door. I was afraid that if Mom answered, I would 7 and tell her instead. Luckily, Dad did answer the door. I didn’t 8 any time—I took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I’ve just come over to tell you that I love you.” Believe it or not, it seemed like magic. Before my eyes, my father’s face softened, the wrinkles (皱纹) seemed to 9 and he began to cry. He hugged me and said excitedly, “I love you, too, my dear son, but I’ve 10 been able to say it.” Seeing this unforgettable sight, Mom walked by with tears in her eyes.

Five 5 passed and the father stood and called again to his son. “Time to go now.” Again Todd said, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes, please.” The man smiled and said, “OK.” “You are 6 a patient father,” the woman said. The man smiled and then said, “My elder son Tommy was killed by a drunk (醉酒的) driver last year 7 he was riding his bike near here. I never spent 8 time with Tommy.

You can’t remove the existing (已有的) line. You can’t erase (擦除) any part of it. 3 you can’t even touch it.” Mr. Brown added. We had never thought that the line needed to be shortened without doing anything to it! All at once, the whole class fell into 4 . We were just looking at each other, but 5 of us came up with any idea. All our mind seemed to go blank. When I looked at Tom, the smartest student in the class, I noticed him quietly lower his head. After a while, complaints could be heard everywhere. “It’s impossible. It can’t be done.” “How can we do that without touching the line?” Mr. Brown didn’t say anything. Slowly he 6 a piece of chalk, and carefully drew on the board another line that was longer than the first one.
