     It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They
stood before El Captain, a huge rock almost 1.2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed to climb El Captain
when he was a child. At the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while climbing mountain, losing his legs. But he
never lost his love for life.
     Mark knew he couldn't finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand.
They thought it would take seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton
(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening (拴紧) one end of a 50-meter rope (绳子) to the piton, he let the other end of
the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt. He next reached above his head and
fastened a T-bar (丁字铁) to the rope. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms
could reach, and began the first pull-up. High above, Peter let out a cheer, "You're on your way."
     For the first four days the two men progressed upward (向上) without accident. But on the fifth day, a
very strong wind began to blow, making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up
the T-bar and pulling himself up.
     It took them one day more than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared the group of people
waiting on the top went wild with joy.
     Mark Wellman showed that if you set your heart and mind on something, no wall is too high, no dream
impossible.

How I study English

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest(爱好)in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject – English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(词汇). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不论何时)I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

     I need friends who can share my emotions (情感). When I get very happy or excited, I need someone
to share with me. When I was full of sorrow or sadness, I need to talk about it with someone. I need friends
who can give me a hand when I come across difficulties or am in trouble. Of course, we take time to make
friends. We choose a friend and are chosen by a friend. We may get a lot from a friend but also need to give
much to a friend, and that is friendship. We know that it is very difficult to get help or to have a friend when
we are in trouble. So we take time to make friends so that we can have good friends to get help from if we
come across difficulties. I need friends to spend my spare time to avoid loneliness. A lot of activities require
a partner. For example, when we play table tennis or badminton, we need a partner. In this way, a friend can
make my life more exciting and meaningful.
      It seems that everyone needs a friend to live a happier life. Without friendship, life is not complete. We
need friendship for different purposes, and different purposes may need different friends. Life is made up of
friendship. Let us open our hearts and make more friends to live a happier life.
