Here is a photo which I’ve kept for many years. Look, the child in it is me . Do you think it that I was very lovely? Yes .You see , I was making face . There was a hat on my head while there were no shoes on my foot . I asked my mother how old I was them . Mother said that I was three years old in that time . Can you see the house all making of wood ? The house which was new then , but it is very old now . I was born in this old
house and lived here for eighteen years . I like living here , because there were many friendly neighbors we get along very good with each other , but it’s a great pity that We will move away soon . To tell a truth , I really can’t bear to part from them .

Good morning, everyone. Yesterday I received a letter from a elderly gentleman. He told me the other day he saw that some student in our school uniform crowded onto a bus without waiting their turns. On the bus they refuse to offer their seats for old people. What was worse, they even said dirty words to each other. I am very much sorry for this. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s old people. Respect the old and caring for the young is a fine tradition of our Chinese. Every one of us have the responsibility to keep it up. I hope that you can learn something this incident and you will have good manners whether you are inside or outside the school. Thank you.

Henry Royce did not like his car, that ran badly and often broke up. So he decided to make better car himself, but in 1904 he produced his first new model. Charles Rolls, a car maker, was very interesting in Royce’s car, and soon Rolls and Royce go into business together. One of their first model was the Silver Ghost. In 1907, a Silver Ghost broke the world’s record by drive 14,371 miles without breaking down once. After the drive,
it was cost just over ￡2 to put the car back into perfect condition. This is not surprising that the Silver Ghost was regarded “the best car in the world”.

“Practice makes perfect” was an old saying . It tells us that it does not any matter if we are slow at doing something . As long as we keep on trying and practice , we’ll do a good job in the end . The saying is especial useful in English study .Since a student is poor at speaking, he should grasp every chance to open mouth and speak English . His oral English may be excellent one day due to his hard works . Not only is
the saying useful in English study , it is also helpful in our day life .
To an extent , it is no short cut in doing everything since key to success
lies in“Practice makes perfect”.

At a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station and played his violin with large piece of paper on the ground．Before long , he was surrounding with people, who were all attracted by the word on that paper. It said,“ last night, a gentleman put an important thing into my hat by mistaken. Please come to claim it soon.” Seeing this, people wondered why it could be. After about half an hour, a man came and brought back his lottery which won a prize of ＄500,000. Late someone asked the violinist: “ Why don’t you take the lottery ticket for yourself? ”He said,“While I don’t have much money, I live happily. However , I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”

A few months after returning the US from Germany, I took part in a college course in French. Since I have learned to speak German good in Germany, I thought that it might be interested to begin studying another language. At the first class, the teacher asked us do a pronunciation exercise, in which he would say one word or two in French, and each student would do their best to copy. When he got to me, he kept having me to say more words, and I finally asked him why. \It's the first time I've heard an American speak French with a German accent.\
