Last year I1 like my English class at all. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was 2to answer the teacher's questions 3my poor pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said 4.
Then one day I watched an English movie 5Toy Story, I fell in love with it at once. So I began to watch other English movies, 6, I realized I could get the meaning by7for just the key words. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned some useful sentences like "It's a piece of cake" or "It serves you right". I didn't understand them at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them 8 in a dictionary. Little by little, I really enjoy my English class. And my English has improved a lot.
What can lead you to success? The most important thing is what you do every day. It is very simple. Your habits will decide whether or not you are1in the future. If you have strong and healthy good habits, it doesn't matter whether you fail or not today, because you are sure to succeed in the end. Having good habits does not mean that you will succeed every time. However, if it goes long, you will 2all your goals and be successful. 3the other hand, if you have strong bad habits, you are sure to fail at last.
Why are habits so important? 4you repeat the same action and the same behavior every day. A single good action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have an important effect on your life.
How can you 5good habits? There is nothing easier than developing good habits. You want to make a habit, and then you must do the action every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating 6food, eat healthily every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in 7end.

As a well-known Chinese TV hostess, Dong Qing is now hosting two cultural shows, Chinese Poetry Conference and Readers. The two shows are encouraging people to love traditional culture and find the beauty of life.
Dong was born in a highly educated family in 1973. she had a great love for traditional literature(文学)from an early age. In 2015 when she was about to study in the U.S, Dong received an invitation from the director of Chinese Poetry Conference asking her to be the hostess. Because of her passion for traditional literature, Dong accepted the job.
"The contest interests me very much. Hosting it is a process of learning about poetry and performing, "said Dong. To her great joy, the show has become more and more popular.
Under the slogan (口号) "Reading touches people's hearts", the new TV show Readers has become a success. It invites famous guests from all walks of life to read something. Dong works as both hostess and producer.
Readers became a turning point in Dong's 21 years of hosting. She said it brought her "quite a huge challenge”.
"There is no shortcut(捷径) in this world. If you want to be a good host, you need to make thorough preparations, said the beautiful hostess. "The charm of life lies in its unknown, so we just have to try and keep going.
Education is very close in my heart. My father grew up in a very small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read. So my father opened a night school to teach them how to read. With his help, many people learned to write their own names; with his help, many people learned to read newspaper for the first time; with his help, many women were able to teach their children how to read. As his daughter, I know what education means to the people, especially those without it. after generations(几代人)of hard work, China has come a long way in education. I am a beneficiary(受益者)of that progress. Otherwise I would never become a singer and a professor of music.
Education is about women and the girls. It is important for girls to go to school because they will become their children's first teacher someday. In China, Spring Bud Education Program(春蕾计划) has helped over 3 million girls go back to school. Many of them have finished university education and they are doing well at work.
Education is about equality. In poor countries and regions(地区) the number of school dropouts(辍学) is astonishing. We call for more educational resources to these places.
Education is about the young people. Young people are the future. Education is important because it not only gives young people knowledge and skills but also helps them become responsible citizens.
Many years ago my father made a small difference in his village. Together we can make a big difference in the world. I was once asked about my Chinese dream. I said I hope all children especially girls can have chances to get good education. This is my Chinese dream. I believe one day education first will no longer be a dream, it will be a reality enjoyed by every young woman on this planet.
