Dear Boris,

     ___1____

After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better. ___2____ Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects (方言) are different too! Some of their accents are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.

__3____ Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day. That’s quite wrong! I get rather annoyed now when I hear all the foolish words about typical English food.

I had expected to see “London fog”. Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this “thick fog” disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes. But the idea to speak about weather was very helpful. ___4____ On the other hand, habits are different. People tell me what is typical British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland. ___5____

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions(传统). Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries. And people have always been proud of having ancient (古老) buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.

I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.

Love from Britain.

                                                           Peter

The world always makes way for the dreamer.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler  36 everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I   37 there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to  38 people feel like that.” My father asked me  39 I meant. “I want to be a motivational （激励人的）speaker just like Mr. Zigler,”I replied. A   40  was born.
Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others.  41   a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company  42 as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my  43 . Many people were  44  that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked  45 I would risk everything for a dream.
I made my   46  to start my own company and leave my secure position after   47  a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a  48 that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a  49  to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a   50 ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that   51  I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was  52  .
Having made that decision, I was immediately  53  .One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no  54 . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job．And I was able to book several 55 engagements with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.

We had no one _____us, for we could deal with the case all by ourselves.

Twelve years ago yesterday, my mother gave birth to the most beautiful girl.  31 , we were later given the  32  that this little girl, who was three and a half months old, would only have 14 days on the earth. It’s hard to understand what kind of  33  you have when you find out that you’re  34 something that you don’t even know.
As time went on, the number of days kept growing, which gave us  35 . When the doctors said that we could take her home, that was  36 reality hit. We had no  37 .
I am from a small town with  38 hospitals, but when you don’t have money, you just don’t  have it. My mother tried for days to get the money, but nothing  39 each time. A caseworker(社会工作者) was even doing her best. It’s  40 that it almost felt as if we had to  41  a baby from the hospital.
One day the caseworker walked into her boss’s office to  42  again. As she walked out,  43 down yet again, out of nowhere a man walked up to her. He  44 her a handful of money and said, “Please give this to the lady in  45 , so she can take her daughter home.” She looked down at her hand with tears in her eyes. As she looked back up to thank him, he was  46  . They searched all over that hospital and he was no where to be  47 .
Thanks to the guy that I will  48 know, we could take home that  49 baby girl that was only given 14 days to live, and celebrated her 12^th birthday yesterday. I am grateful to this man and feel that his act of  50 should be shared with everyone.

A Man Named Lawrence

This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning.

It was at two o’clock in the morning. We just came out of a club and were trying to find our   36   back to our city. As we were trying to   37   the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us   38   it was. Although we were a little   39  , we had no choice but follow him. He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.

When we passed some city workers   40  the streets, they sprayed (喷溅) the homeless man. Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the   41   if they were "in the way". I didn’t know why they would do that. They were human beings,   42  , not cattle or objects.

This man had just gotten   43  in the middle of a cold night, but  44  shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you   45  if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It’s   46  use shouting at them, because they just get angry. You’re better off saying something from the   47  ."

It is   48  ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger  49  , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.

He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We   50  him and told him that we   51  have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were   52  , someone would help him."

Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways.   53  , this man taught us kindness. There was   54  we could really do to repay him. The only thing I hope to do is to   55  other people out.
