Half a year before graduation from college, my son began to seek a job.         the financial crisis, fewer companies would like to         new staff. My son targeted a company that was        to hire only one person        there were more than twenty people filling their resumes.

After the interview, there would only be 3 who could enter the final round, which would later       one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite        and my son passed the first round and entered the final round in a week.

On the day of the final interview, my son and other two         arrived at the interview place on time,           the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably        . The interviewer only said to them,

“All of you are very super. Please go home and wait for our       . We will tell you the        in 3 days. Good luck to all of you!” On the morning of the third day, my son received a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very        .

In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me         on the phone, “Dad, I have been employed!” Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, “What’s the whole        ?” My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually the first text sent to my son was also         of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my son’s         was “Thank you” while the others said “Goodbye”.

Only then did I know that my son’s “hope”        in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not         to say “thank you” to the one who disappoints you. Saying “thank you” shows respect for others’ work and shows your grand        . Therefore, while under the same condition, you will get the upper hand in terms of         compared with others!

Dear sir,

Last year I buy a refrigerator in your store on Chang An Road. We all like shape of the refrigerator. And yesterday something went wrongly. It made a noise when turning on. At first it was low but gradually it became louder and louder. To make matter worse，it even stopped working. We all felt disappointing. I am writing to ask for help. Would you please find someone to repair them? I would be at home this weekend. Please call me before you come to here. My telephone number is 66065531. Thank you very much.

Li Ming

Recently, my class went on a three-day trip from Shanghai to Nanjing with only 200 yuan. It was fun and inspiring. We left for Nanjing early in the morning (4:52 a.m. on March 19) by train. Unfortunately, because the tickets were difficult to get, we took the train without seats. The carriage quickly became crowded with students. We stood on the train for over five hours until we arrived at our destination —Nanjing. By that time we all understood how hard it is for migrant workers to return home from a big city.
We had an educational campaign in front of the Memorial Hall to the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders on the first day. We all felt the heavy weight of history as we walked quietly around the Memorial Hall. Relics of the war on display frightened and shocked us. We could imagine how hard life must have been for the Chinese people at that time.
On the second day we were divided into groups of seven to nine students. We were assigned to do research about the city, so we had to visit local people and talk with them. As we were told not to take taxis, we traveled around the city by bus or subway. At the end of the day, we were so tired that no one touched the remote control of the television in our bedroom. However, we were all happy that we had learned to get around a strange city and that we understood Nanjing more.
On the last day we went to Yuhuatai. Some students handed in applications to join the Communist Party there. We learnt about the martyrs(烈士) stories and most of us were impressed by their noble spirits. They sacrificed their lives but they won great respect.
Our three days soon came to an end. Sitting on the train back to Shanhai, we happily shared our adventures in Nanjing. Though we were tired, it was a really meaningful trip.
