An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. When she heard her daddy say to her 1 mother with whispered desperation, " 2 a miracle can save him now," the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She 3 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she 4 her way six blocks to the local drugstore. "And what do you want?" asked the chemist.

"It's 5 my little brother," the girl answered back. "He's really,really sick and I want to buy a 6 . His name is Andrew and he has something 7 growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him."

"We don't 8 miracles here,child. I'm sorry," the chemist said,smiling 9 at the little girl.

In the shop was a 10 customer. He stooped (弯腰) down and asked the little girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother 11 ?"

"I don't know," she replied. "He's really sick and mommy says he needs 12 But my daddy can't pay for it,so I have brought my 13 .”

"How much do you have?" asked the man.

"One dollar and eleven cents,14 I can try and get some more”，she answered quietly.

"Well,what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents―the 15 price of a miracle for little brother. 16 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 17 your parents."

That welldressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong,a surgeon. The operation was completed without 18 and it wasn't long before Andrew was 19 again and doing well.

The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the 20 of a little child.

The impact that English has to our life is beyond words. It is one of the major courses to kids ever since they start their primary schools. With Olympics being held in Beijing in 2008 and World Exposition in Shanghai 2010,English spree (狂热) seems not going to die out very soon but will continue to grow.

To some people,it's a big release,when seeing themselves graduate from the university and they don't need to touch English anymore. Kiss you,byebye,someone exclaimed. While to some others,it is not the case. After years and years of study,some people,still want to continue their "love" with English. "I can't just throw it away as I do with a textbook," someone sighed. So,what to do then?

Well,don't feel depressed. You are more than right to continue your "love" with English. How to do it? Well,easy!Just treat it as a hobby. If you look at the people around you,you will see almost all of them have hobbies. Some of them like sports,some like shopping,some enjoy playing mahjong. The list can go on and on. So,what's wrong to treat it as your hobby? I know this sounds very bizarre to many people,but who cares.

Once we decide what our hobby is,it's important that we take a good look at this particular "hobby". As we all know,it consists of four major components―listening,speaking,reading and writing. It's almost not practical to try to be perfect with all these four pillars. (Remember,I define it as a hobby,not a career. ) So,ask yourself what you really want to pursue. If you are fond of translation,go for it. If you choose reading,well,why not?

As this hobby is quite different from others,we should therefore,need to work out a plan to make the hobby more practical. To me,this hobby requires faith,action and patience. Let's talk about faith first. I believe you all agree with me that confidence and faith should be the first step when you start our journey. This is more like "lovetalking". If you don't think you can fall in love with a boy or a girl,what's the point of trying it? After all,you are just wasting your time.

Now,once you have the confidence,the trust you have on yourself. What need to be done next is to work out a plan. Let's say,you want to "fall in love" with translation. What you may choose to do is to go to a library and pick your "girl/boy friend"，that is the book that you want to "fall in love".

Lastly,we shouldn't be too hard to ourselves. Remember,this hobby is totally different from others. You've got to give yourself time and patience. Again,this is very much like "lovetalking". You need to give yourself time to play around. Great Wall was not built overnight,right? So is our love.
