I truly hope that at the end of this short essay(短文) you will know how to learn English.
I was born in Somalia, and Italian is my mother tongue. 31 enough, soon after I arrived in London when I was 17, I was admitted to a sixth-form college. I found caring (体贴的) teachers there, who 32 taught me English. This, I think, was a(n) 33 factor(因素) that encouraged me to learn the language. The most important thing, 34, is to work hard. So those of you who don’t have such good teachers should not 35. When I was in London, I 36 myself to English learning as I 37 to go to university very much. Mastering the language was the only 38 to achieve my goal.
Now I have 39 my master’s degree from Oxford University. Looking back, I 40 I was quite innocent (天真的),for I never imagined learning English was going to be so much 41. The more fluent I become, the 42 the language became. One can master it only 43 years of tireless efforts(努力).
Some basic 44 which I would give to people who are interested in learning the language are:
1. Buy a good dictionary. 45 English learners use their dictionaries all the time.
2.46 English newspapers. Don’t forget to 47 the new words in your dictionary.
3. Listen to the radio 48 watching TV as listening to the radio helps you more.
4. Talk, talk and talk to 49 at anytime and anywhere.
And even though at times it may be embarrassing(尴尬的) to make 50，you will finally correct them and remember them. Soon you will start to become fluent.

Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car．My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 1 other people’s cars as well．It was pretty   2   outside and I had no plans to   3   being in the bright sun．She   4   wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passers-by for free．I had seen little kids 5   and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free．Although I felt   6 , I decided to help her．

All that seemed   14   and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to   15 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   16 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   17 to help clean cars．Passers-by were   18 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they   19 ．A pretty heartwarming  scene !
I felt blessed by being surrounded by such wonderful and loving   20 ．

The relationship between a son and his father changes over time. it may 36 and flourish(繁茂) in mutual maturity. It may fail in disliked dependence or independence.

The first 37 I have of him--of anything, really--is his strength. To a little boy right after World War II , a father seemed a god with strange strengths and powers 38 him to do and know any things in the world, such as putting a bicycle chain back on, building a hamster cage or guiding a jigsaw(拼板玩具) so it 39 the letter F. In fact, I learned the alphabet that way in those pre-television days.

There were, of course, rules to learn. First came the handshake. 40 of those fishy (冷冰冰的) little finger grips, but a good firm squeeze 41 by an equally strong gaze into the other’s eyes.

As time passed, there were other rules to learn. “Always do your best.” “Do it now.” “Never lie!” And most 42 , “You can do whatever you have to do.”

By my teens, he wasn’t telling me 43 to do anymore, which was scary and exciting at the same time. He 44 perspective (视角), not telling me what was around the great corner of life but letting me know there was a lot 45 just today and the next, which I hadn’t thought of.

With father, I 46 became a grown up.

But one day, I realize now, there was a(n) 47 .

A School fact 48 something he said. Impossible that he could be wrong, but there it was in the book. I began to see, too, his 49 spots, his prejudices and his weaknesses. I never threw these up at him. He hadn’t to me. I 50 asking his advice.

There seemed to be a 51 between us, which I found 52 to fill in.

After much thought and practice (“You can do whatever you have to do.”), one night last winter, I sat down by his bed. I told my father how much I 53 him and talked of some of my advice on him.

He said he knew how hard my 54 had been to say and how proud he was of me.

“I had the best teacher,” I said. “You can do whatever you have to do.” He smiled a little. And we shook hands once again, 55 .

What kind of person becomes an addict? Someone 21 , with a lot of friends; or someone who is 22 from the rest, with only a few friends, or none at all? The 23 I am trying to make is that anyone can become an addict.

The only way that I 24 this out was by becoming an addict myself. I used to be a guy who was 25 in the popular crowd. Right before high school began, I started being 26 by most of my friends. I had never lived with the 27 that I had no friends, so I did almost anything to 28 the two good friends I still had. One of the things I did was 29 drugs for the first time. This was a big 30 from the way I lived when I was younger. I was a(n) 31 , and the last thing I thought I would get into was drugs. Drugs 32 me from being the best sports player I could be.

I 33 to smoke drugs after I entered high school because that was what my new "cool" friends were 34 . The next three years were filled with many 35 , I was arrested twice, and lost my license for two years. This made me sad and 36 .

I realized I could not live this way; I must stop the 37 of using drugs.

Since then, my 38 and actions have changed and so has my direction in life. I do see a future in water skiing. 39, I haven't killed my chance in 40 . I know that I must keep a clear head first. Keep Coming Back. It works if you work it.
