There is an English corner in our school. Every afternoon, many of my classmates come to the corner. My teacher Miss Li comes here 1 the corner, we all speak English.
The corner started last year. There were only 2 students because many were afraid to speak English. After a few weeks, more and more students came here. At first, some students just 3 to the other students. I was one of them. I was afraid to speak English. I thought someone would 4 me, but I wanted to speak. I always spoke English in my heart. My teacher went on saying, "Don't be afraid. Open your mouth.
I tried and tried to open my mouth. At last, I said "Hello!" to the teacher.
The teacher was very 5. She said "Hello!" to me at once. From6 on, I began to speak English. I work hard at English and I try my best 7 more. I learn 8 my teacher and my classmates at the corner. Now I can speak a little English. Every Sunday afternoon, I come to the corner 9.
It's a good 10 to speak English. Please join us.
A group of old classmates, who have succeeded in their work, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned to complaining about the stress in work and life. To offer his guests coffee the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups—china(瓷), plastic and glass, some plain(朴素的) looking, some expensive and some lovely. The professor told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said "Can you notice all the nice—looking expensive cups: were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source(根源) of your problems and stress."
"What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups."
"Now think about this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So don t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead."
