　　　 It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride，today，Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

　　　 “No ! Leave me alone!”Those were the last words I said to him that morning．

　　　 My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and went I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”．

　 When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive.“Your lather told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God! If he had moved Daddy，there’s no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung….”

　　　 My mother may have said more，but I didn’t hear．I didn’t hear anything except those terrible

words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?

　 It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him．

　　　 “Daddy… I am so sorry….”

　　　 “It’s okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．”

　　　 “No，”I said，“I mean about what I said to you that day．You know, that morning?”

　　　 My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said．“Sweetheart,

I don’t remember anything about that day， not before，during or after the accident． I remember

kissing you goodnight the night before，though．”He managed a weak smile．

　 My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they

can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

　　Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor．Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor．” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．

　　First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary．However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive．Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know．

　　Second, they are afraid of making mistakes．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY(准确性)．Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly．However, in speaking your aim is fluency．You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears．

　　The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening．You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking．

　　Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go．

　　If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know．Remember：USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more．

　　Ramon was very proud of his dog Blackie. Whenever he got the chance, he would ask his dog to give amusement to his friends.

　　One day Ramon went to visit his friend Frank who was sick at home with a bad cold. “How are you feeling?”asked Ramon. “Worse than yesterday,” replied Frank. “I have a terrible cough, and there's not a drop of medicine in the house.”

　　“Cheer up, Frank. I'll send Blackie to the chemist's shop for some medicine. He'll be back in a minute, before you know it.” Ramon put a five-dollar note in Blackie's mouth and the dog ran down the street. “And keep the change,” Ramon shouted after him.

　　“Oh, Ramon, don't be silly. You know that dog won't be back with any medicine.” “Oh yes, he will,” replied Ramon. Half an hour later, however, Blackie had not returned. Ramon began to worry, and felt angry at his friend's little smile.

　　“Something has happened to him, I'm sure,”said Ramon. “He obeyed me as a rule.” Just then Frank saw Blackie at a distance. He hurried to open the door and let him in. Frank was shocked to see a bottle of medicine in the dog's mouth.
