My birthday was a few days ago．Now I’m 24 years old and I’m 1 with teaching．I didn't remember my birthday until the morning of the 20th．It was just 2 an ordinary day, no presents, no party, no cake…and I 3 it that way．When I was younger, I always felt sad that almost 4 remembered my birthday, not even my family．But now I don't 5 any more, especially this year, from 23 to 24, not much 6 ．I'm just not a birthday or holiday person．This month I have several foreign students 7 Chinese with me．I give lessons privately(个别地), so I 8 to do quite a lot of work before each lesson．So far I'm getting more 9 in teaching foreigners Chinese, and I think it's a very cool job．When I was at 10 , I wanted to follow these native(本国的)English speakers．They can 11 to foreign countries and get teaching jobs easily almost anywhere even 12 they're not real teachers．I complained Chinese didn't have as many 13 as people from the West．But now things are 14 ．As China is becoming stronger, Chinese is becoming more and more 15 , and maybe in the future I can get teaching jobs in foreign countries．I’ll study more and get ready．
“Hi! John．” Mary ran towards me with a bright smile, saying, “I'm going to have a dance performance tonight．I hope you'll come．Here is the ticket．Don't forget! ” Then she 1 in a hurry．
“What? Dance? Is that 2 ? ” I asked myself．Mary was not such kind of girl．She was quite common one．I had never seen her wearing colorful clothes．In fact, she really did not know 3 to dress up．What a terrible thing!
“I should go to, I must go to．” I thought．
I arrived at the hall with the ticket, found my seat and sat down．Her performance was the seventh one．I knew I would have a 4 time before her turn, for I had no sense of art, 5 her performance was worth(值得)watching, no matter how long I would wait．
Time went 6 , I tried my best not to fall asleep．
Just then, came the words, “Let's welcome the next exciting dance-Latin! ”
Hearing this, I opened my eyes as large as possible, 7 to lose anything．Wearing a golden and shiny skirt, Mary appeared．She danced with a sweet smile, looking like a pretty butterfly flying … I could 8 believe my eyes．
After all the performance ended, I 9 her at the gate．
“Hi! ” She stood in front of me with her crystal(水晶)shoes．“How do you feel? ”
“Fantastic! ” I answered．
“Ha, ha．I knew it would be．” She could not hide her excitement, laughing 10 a child．
At that time, I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella．
