It's not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero．I didn't really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college．
If you saw her, you wouldn't think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be．Her name is Sandra Keierleber．I first met her at volleyball tryouts(选拔赛), but didn't notice anything special at first．As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone．She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what．
Sandra isn't the tallest or the fastest-in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed-but that didn't stop her．She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave．By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone's heart．When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked．When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer．
After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game．When she asked for help, we gladly taught her．She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games．We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile．Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero-and my hero, too．

Good afternoon.Welcome to England.We hope that your visit will be a pleasant one.Today I'd like to tell you something about a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking.Now you may not buy wine in this country if you are under 18 years of age,nor may your friends buy it for you.
The second one,noise.Enjoy yourselves by yourself,but don't make unnecessary noise,especially at night.We ask you to respect other people who may wish you be quiet.
The third one,crossing the road.Be careful.The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country.Use pedestrian crossing (人行横道) and don't take any chances when crossing the road.
My next point is about rubbish.It isn't lawful to drop rubbish in the street.When you have something to throw away,please put it in your pocket and take it home,or put it in a dustbin.
Finally,smoking.It is against the law to buy cigarettes if you are less than 16 years of age.
