Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public? Are you afraid to make a speech?
Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of1classmates.
"I was wrong. It was very different and much2than talking to my classmates during playtime," Li said. "I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute (哑巴) and wanted to leave the classroom3"
Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same4: they can talk about their ideas freely5their best friends after class, but can't speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, a teacher from a university, the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to writing instead of6.
Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their7, such as speech competitions, English corners and class discussions. Students can join in any one they want to.8he also gives some advice to students. "During your free time you should9more. When you're speaking in public, take it easy. Just imagine you're talking to nobody and speak up your ideas clearly," Zhou said. "That 10a fine public speech and you'11 feel confident. "

For years I wanted a flower garden. I would spend hours 1 of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had children, five children! I was too busy 2 care of them to grow a garden.
Money was always3 . When my children were 4, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I’d get annoyed and say, “ Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn’t grow on5, you know.”
Finally, all five got through college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a 6.
I wasn’t sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money.
Then, one spring morning, 7 Mother’s Day, I was working in my kitchen. 8, I heard a car come. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right 9 the yard.
There was a money tree in my yard! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, all over that tree.
That was three years ago. My garden is now very pretty, just the way I wanted. I 10 what my children did for me, and then I get tears in my eyes every time.

I was quite 3that we had met 4, but I could not 5where I had seen her face. In the course of the talk, however, the young woman 6to tell us that she had lost her purse the other day. All at once I remembered where I had seen her face. She was just the young girl in the photo in the purse I had picked up while walking down the street that afternoon, although she looked much older. She was 7, of course, when I was 8to describe her purse to her. Then I explained (解释) that I had recognized (认出) her from the photo I had found in the purse. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to fetch the purse.
As the policeman handed it 9, he said I had found not 10the purse, but the person who had lost it.

Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife1two teenage children did something we haven’t2for ages. It didn’t require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries… or anything else for that matter. But we all3it so much we’re thinking of doing it again sometime.
We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was4when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the5of communicating face-to-face. We all know6young people are out on a date(约会)these days, they spend most of that time7their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to8communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually9to them.
If we carry on like this，in the future, we’11 lose the use of our10. What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!

Twelve students danced with twelve big schoolbags on Children’s Day. They wanted to show people how1they were! They looked forward to2small schoolbags. In fact, big schoolbags have been a serious problem for students for a long time. They are too3to carry, and it’s also not convenient(方便的)4students want to take a book out to read. But now this problem seems to be solved(解决). An e-textbook was invented and it will help5poor children.
It is said that e-textbooks will be6in middle schools in our country. An e-textbook is a small 7for each student. It’s8lighter than an ordinary schoolbag. Although it is as small as a book,9it can hold all things for study. Would you like to have10?
