My boss’s daughter was studying in the Philippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.

After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss’s daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.

After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way. From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn’t talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn’t care about other people’s feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn’t leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.

The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately I didn’t think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience was tested during that time.

We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not to be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn’t work. I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.

Tiny plants and animals live all around us. We cannot see them because they are so small, but they are everywhere.

They live in the soil, the air, and in rivers and oceans. They grow on mountains and in caves. Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals. Some are even living on you, on your skin, hair, and inside your body, in your mouth, nose, and all through your intestines (肠).

These tiny plants and animals are called microbes. The word microbe is made from two other words: micro, meaning small, and bios, meaning life. So, microbe means small life.

Microbes have been on earth for a very long time. They may have been the first forms of life to be alive. Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things.

People did not know microbes had existed (存在) long. They were too small for them to see.

But people did see many changes in their world—important changes. And they did not know what caused them. They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad. They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become infected. They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil. Such changes were a natural part of the world, but people did not understand them. They did not know these changes were evidence (证据) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.

Some of the world’s most famous movies, like The Sound of Music and Singin’ in the Rain（雨中曲） , are musicals . These are both very old movies, though . It seemed as if musicals had gone out of fashion.

But La La Land , a new musical by US director Damien Chazelle , 32 , has made the genre（类型） popular again . “Brilliantly written and directed , La La Land gives movie musicals life in the 21st century ,”Peter Travers wrote for Rolling Stone.

It has made history as the first film to win seven Golden Globe awards. It has also been nominated（提名） for a record-equaling 14 Oscars.

Other popular movies of today are often about violence（暴力）, war , drugs（毒品） or politics（政治） . Thanks to Chazelle’s creative style , original music and wonderful lacation, La La Land has a light feel that will put you in a good mood.

The opening scene , when hundreds of people in a traffic jam start singing , “ will be studied and swooned（着迷） over for years to come,”according to Travers. “The very fact that it doesn’t have a strong political message , but is still good enough to win awards , is what makes La Lan Land so unusual ,”Nicholas Barber , wrote for the BBC . “It is intimate（亲切的） and personal and magical.”

书面表达

Dear Meghan,

I am really angry with my parents recently. Next Sunday is my birthday. My parents promised to buy a cell phone for me as my birthday present this year. But now when I ask about the birthday present they say they have changed their ideas, because they worry about my study if I get a new cell phone since the final exam is coming soon. They say a cell phone may take up too much of my time. But I think I can control myself, they just don’t believe me. What’s more, they broke their promise!
