As a foreigner, it's hard for me to tell what Chinese people are like. But my 1 in Beijing said something.
A couple of weeks ago, I went to buy four big suitcases (行李箱) for travel. 2 I was going down the street, it suddenly rained, heavily. A stranger called me into his little shop. He 3 me a cup of tea and a chair. When the rain got4, I thanked him and rushed to a 5 nearby to buy my suitcases.
If you've ever tried to push four big suitcases by yourself, you may understand my6. I looked silly, for the suitcases were dancing wildly across the floor. Then I got a 7on the shoulder. It was the seller. He signed that I should wait. A few minutes later, he8in a car, and put the suitcases inside. Then we went driving9along the road to my home. I offered him some money, but he10. In broken English he said, "Feel good... help you."
Now, you can see Chinese people are always ready to help you.
Dear Susan,
How are you? I'm going to visit Hong Kong with Mum and Dad next month. We'll arrive on the second of August. It's so exciting! We can meet each other soon!
I will spend a day in Ocean Park on the third of August. I know that you've visited Ocean Park many times before. Can you give me some advice on what to see in Ocean Park?
I would also like to visit you at your home on the fourth of August. Are you free on that day? I've bought a present for you. I think you'll love it.
By the way, would you like to go to Disneyland with me? I really want to take some photos with you in Disneyland. You know, I love the famous cartoon characters of Disney such as Snow White and Mickey Mouse very much. I know you love them too.
When can you go to Disneyland with me? Please let me know. I'll stay until the ninth of August and go back to England on that day.
See you soon.
Love,
Lily

Roger | Hi, there! It was my 15th birthday last Saturday. Some of friends and Alan, my cousin, came to celebrate it. Everyone brought me a gift. We had a party. We played games, sang songs and had a big birthday cake. It was really a wonderful day! Did you do anything special last week? |
| Yes. My class were on a school field trip last week. First, we went to the University of North Carolina to learn about the history of its basketball team. Many basketball stars were students there! Then we visited a museum. We learned about how the plane was invented and took many pictures there. | Jessica |
| Sara | Well, I was lucky enough to go to a conference (会议) on charity (慈善) last Wednesday. I was so excited to meet a lot of kind people there. One of them was a boy named Richard. He spoke at the conference about the charity work that he had done in the past few years. |
| It was a different week than usual. Last Thursday, my school band went to Atlanta to perform in a competition. I played the violin and we won a prize! On Friday, we went to the Georgia Aquarium and got to see different kinds of sea life from all over the world. It was really cool! | Martin |
There was a kingdom long, long ago. It was ruled by a king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. "I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle," the king said. "Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. "Make this line shorter without erasing (清除) any part of it," the king challenged.
People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their noses to the ground and scratched their heads.
"How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it?" the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt (泥土) over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked, and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.
A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour (面粉).
"Your Majesty," the baker said to the king, "I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it." Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king's line. The line the baker made was longer than the king's line.
"Now, good king," the baker smiled, "your line is shorter."
The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. "You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice."
The baker was excited. Now he could sell his breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison (监狱). The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure (失败).
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". What's more, they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.

English is spoken by about 400 million people in Australia, Britain, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA. In India and Singapore, English is used as a working language. In China and many other countries, it's the most important foreign language that children learn at school, because when they grow up, it will be quite possible for them to meet people from other countries. They will need a common language to communicate with each other. English is now used by about a quarter of the world's population, and wherever you go in the world, there is a good chance that you will meet someone who speaks English.
The reason why English is spoken everywhere is that in 19th century, the UK sold its industrial products all over the world. And in the 20th century, the US spread English to the world through newspapers, television and films. It is now the common language for international travel, science, industry, and recently, information, technology and the Internet.
English has borrowed many words from other languages. For example, "restaurant" from French, "zero" from Arabic, "piano" from Italian, and "tofu" from Chinese.
Will the importance of English last? As China continues to grow, many people think that Chinese will become as common as English by the middle of the 2lth century. More and more schools in Europe are teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Chinese may be the next world language in the future.
So who owns English? The answer is everyone who speaks it — the British, the Indians and the Chinese all help make it a rich language. It changes every year with new words and expressions.
Even though there are differences in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and spelling, we all belong to the international English speaking world.
