“We always offer our guests something to drink when they arrive, tea, coffee or perhaps water or soft drinks. We think it is polite to accept a drink even if you’re not thirsty. If you visit someone you always stay for a few drinks. When you have had enough to drink, you tap your cup or put your hand over it. If you say no, your host will insist that you have more to drink.”

When I was young, my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.

Are you a top student in your school, or at least a top one in your class? If not, you may learn something from my story.
Growing up in a poor family with uneducated parents, I was not good at my study. But a teacher changed my life. Without her, I couldn’t have 36 so much in my later career. I can still remember the very important day that has 37 my whole life.
I did so 38 in math that you may not imagine that I even couldn’t count from “ONE” to “TEN”, when I was in Grade Three.
Then the 39_ day came. My father was asked to come to school to 40_ with my teacher, Ms King. You can’t imagine how angry and 41_ my father was when he heard about my “excellent achievement”. He 42 at me:“since you can’t even count from ‘ONE ’to ‘TEN’, what are you able to be when you 43_ up? Now, tell me!”I was scared and 44_ and didn’t know what to say and tears came immediately into my eyes.
Then the most unforgettable time in my life came. “Maybe he can be a boxing refereeone day. That 45 only needs him to count from ‘ONE’ to ‘NINE’, which may
46 him well.” Ms King looked into my eyes and firmly said.
Now, I am in my forties, and can you believe it that thanks to Ms King, I am really a well-known boxing 47 of WBO(World Boxing Organization),and that I do need to count only from “ONE” to “NINE”? So are still worried about your poor grades at school? Remember there will always be a place waiting for you!
