This is a part from US President Barack Obama’s speech on May 14 at Bamard College in New York.
My last piece of advice – this is simple, but perhaps most important: 50 . Nothing worthwhile is easy. No one of achievements has avoided failure – sometimes catastrophic(惨重的) failures. But they keep at it. They learn from mistakes. They don’t 51 .
When I first arrived on this 52 , I was with little money, fewer choices. But it was here that I tried to find my place in this world. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but it was 53
how in fact I’d go about it. But I wanted to do my part to 54 a better world.
So even as I worked after graduation in a few 55 jobs here in New York, even as I went from motley (鱼龙混杂的)apartment to motley apartment, I reached out.
And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was learned. I got it from 56 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 57 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 58 went on food stamps at one point to help us get by. But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 59 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned ours.
And 60 , I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave everything we had to balance our careers and a 61 family. We made that marriage work.
So 62 it’s starting a business, or running for office, or 63 an amazing family, remember that making your 64 on the world is hard. It takes patience. It takes commitment. It comes with plenty of setbacks and it comes with plenty of failures.

Let children learn to judge their own. A child who learns to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s, in the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught—to walk, run, climb, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in doing such work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry , but there was not any meat in the house.

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
