Dear Editor,
I'm glad to share my experience. Last week, I watched a cross-talk performance. The actors pretended to be ordinary people and skillfully imitated various accents and facial expressions. Their humorous interaction made me laugh heartily.
Laughter has significant benefits. It not only relieves stress and anxiety but also gives me a sense of well-being. As the saying goes, "Laughter makes you ten years younger."
Yours,
Li Hua

D: You'll never believe what happened to me, Jia Lan — I don't think I'll ever live it down.
J: Why, what happened, David?
D: You know I've been learning to box. I had my first boxing match the other day and Mr Zhao was the referee — and you know what a strict teacher he is.
J: I know. We're all terrified of him.
D: In the second round, I took such a hard hit from my opponent that I felt dizzy and unbalanced. I wasn't sure where I was. In defence, I attacked back with a wild swing. It was so wild that instead of the hit landing on my opponent, it landed on Mr Zhao's nose. As a result, he collapsed!
听力原文
J: Oh no! What happened then?
D: I was shocked. I ran up to him and tried to help him up. I said sorry over and over again. He pushed me away, gathered himself and got up to his feet.
J: You must have felt so bad.
D: I was so embarrassed that I wanted the floor to open up and consume me.
J: And your opponent?
D: He was confused and didn't know if he should carry on hitting me, or stop and help Mr Zhao — so he just stood there.
J: And Mr Zhao — what happened then?
D: He put his free hand on my shoulder and said, "Son, you've got real potential. That was an excellent hit!"
