题目内容

4.I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves,most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief,I,at fourteen,decided to become a writer.Here too,reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read,because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works,what doesn't and,in the end,together with lots of practice,what voice he has.
Now I am in college,and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品).As a law student,my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

9.Around four years ago,I received a call from the principal of our school as to the"Parents View"talk the next morning.He asked me to speak to the group.After the call,I became feverish and panicky.The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years.The whole night,I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind.One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come.Finally,I gathered some courage.I thought,"If I miss this opportunity,surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs."
I reached the school in time.Before my turn came,my whole body was trembling.When my turn came and I started speaking,my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry.I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly.I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading.That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness,Public Speaking.
After my speech,I met with the principal and explained what happened to me.He told me that this happens to everyone.Even the great speakers faced the same thing when they started.He suggested that I come again next time.
Around one month later,I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation.This time I was feeling comfortable.My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers,because I was able to get my idea across to them.They encouraged and praised my efforts.
After delivering it successfully,I became more confident.I said to myself,"If I can speak in front of such a learned audience,like the principal who educates others,I can now speak in front of others too."
I started delivering lectures in my plant,on various topics like Self-motivation,Personality Development,Personal Excellence,Spoken English and Presentation Skills.This has become a passion for me.I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.
