It was already half past seven and I was running late. My wife, Eleanor and I agreed to meet at a restaurant at 7:00 1 it was already 7:30 when I arrived. I said "sorry" and told her I didn't mean (意欲) to be.
"You 2 mean to be late. " She answered. It was 3 that I made her angry. "Sorry," I said again. Then I told her about my 4 meeting. But my explanation(解释) 5 to make her angrier. That started to make me 6 , too.
Several weeks later, when I was 7 the thing to my father, he smiled, "You made a classic mistake. Although you explained so much, the 8 was that you were late. You did a wrong thing. " Then he told me the 9 way to say sorry to Eleanor.
"I see you are angry. You were 10 here for about 30 minutes and that's making you unhappy. I'm really sorry you had to be here to 11 me for so long. " All these words really worked. When I made Eleanor angry again, this way helped me win her 12 .
When you did 13 that made someone angry, you should always start your words by telling 14 your actions impacted(影啊) the other person. Never try to find more 15 to say why you did this.

Many people like to travel when they have time off from school or work. They might go to their hometown to see their family, or travel somewhere far. But not everyone does this, more and more people are choosing to take a "stay-cation".
A stay-cation is a new word for a period of time(一段时间) when people stay at home on vacation or take day trips from their home to local(当地的) places of interest. Some people might travel around their city, visiting local parks and museums. Others might try countryside trips and take part in local festivals. People like me love to just stay at home.
I had a stay-cation of my own over the summer. I slept late every day. I worked on music and played video games. I wasn't too lonely. I had my cat to play with, and I got together with some of my friends around the city.
Traveling is fun, but it's also excellent to just stay home and relax. It's cheaper as well, because I don't have to pay for travel. And you can choose to do whatever you like. If you want, just do nothing. There's nothing wrong with that.
It was a sunny winter day. I walked down the tower when a blind(盲的) man came toward me. "What does a blind man want to climb up the tower for?" I wondered. "Not the view(风景) certainly, maybe he wants to jump. " Thinking of this terrible reason, I thought I should follow him.
When he got to the first corner of the bell tower, I came close to him. "Excuse me. " I said as politely as I could, "but I wonder why you came up. "
He smiled. "The sun shines into the tower through the windows here and there so that one can feel the cool steps suddenly become quite warm, even in winter. But behind the wall there is shade (阴影) . There is no place as good as this for feeling the difference between light and darkness. Though I'm blind, I also want to feel the happiness brought by the sunlight. In fact, it isn't my first time to be here. " He said and seemed happy like a child.
I had never thought that even a blind man could have his way to enjoy the beautiful life. But we often overlook (忽视) the beauty in our life because we never lose it.
We went down the tower together and I left him. From then on, I began to enjoy what life has given me.
Are you a book-lover but feeling having not enough time to read? Don't worry. You can find out the solutions(解决方法) right here.
Firstly, don't read before bed. If you read at night, you will probably only get through a few pages before you get sleepy. Instead, I suggest reading before work. Even if you're not an early bird, use the time you spend checking WeChat every morning to read some lines on the phone.
Secondly, make full use of the time when you're on the way to work. For example, if you take the bus or subway to work, you can use this time to read. A half-hour commute (通勤) can easily turn into five hours of reading time every week—enough for most people to read a whole book.
Thirdly, ▲ . Before you tell me how much you "enjoy the smell of the printed (印刷) books", let me try to tell you the convenience (便利) of reading in the e-books app on your smart phone: you'll always have your "books" with you, and most importantly, you can always get through a little reading in those lost minutes of the day . waiting in line for coffee, during work breaks and so on. Those pages add up fast.
What's more, if a book is terrible, stop reading it. You don't need to waste time reading a book that is not good. In fact, it's more likely to make you quit your reading habit.
How to Have a Happy Trip?
Traveling is becoming more and more popular. But how can we have a happy trip? Here are some tips for you.
Get more information about the place of interest before you go there, or pick up a guidebook(旅行指南)or audio guide when you're there. These things can teach you about the place of interest, and point out special things you might miss.
If you're visiting a natural place of interest, first find out whether you'll need good walking shoes or a raincoat. It's always a good idea to bring some food and water, too.
You may want to get very close to beautiful places or to pick a flower or two to take home with you. But remember, this can make future visitors not enjoyable. Look for signs about what not to do, and when you are not sure, please don't touch!
People want to visit places of interest, not your banana peels! If there are not many trash cans, bring a plastic(塑料的) bag with you to carry your rubbish.
For many places, it's a good idea to take pictures. But check whether you are allowed to take photos before you start taking pictures. Some special places don't allow visitors to take photos.
A. Keep the places clean! B. Don't forget your camera! C. Be kind to others! D. Learn about the place! E. Don't touch, don't climb, and don't pick! F. Get ready for travel! |
