I still remember the days when I was in university. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. Little did I ______ that casualness would certainly lead to loss.

Two years passed and I was staring at a report card—I ______ more than half of the subjects But I didn't care, at least not until my dad found out about it.

Then came the day when my dad ______ my habit of smoking. He was very angry but said only a little. He just told me, “Son, your money is cut IN HALF from this moment on.” His words frightened me greatly. I didn't know ______ to pay off the debts (债务)that I had in university.

When I went back to university, I knew that if didn't change my lifestyle, I wouldn't be able to pay everybody back. So I decided to make some ______ I stopped smoking, cut myself off from my friends who led me down the wrong road and started to read books.

One year later, I went from a terrible failure to a good grade. This experience made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it. Even today it still encourages me when I feel that I'm about to give up.

My friends, the message I want you to take from my story is that no matter what difficulty you're going through, you are sure to come out of it ______ you don't decide to take action.

I taught my mother the catchword ( 流 行 语 ) “Zhaxinle, Laotie ”. “Zhaxinle”means “You’ve broken my heart.” and “Laotie” means “homie”, which refers to a very close friend of yours. It’s a popular sentence from the northeast of China and now widely used by people around the country.

It’s not easy to teach parents catchwords. Last month, I tried to teach them, “The baby suffers (忍受) inside, but he doesn’t say a word about it”. But they didn’t know why the word baby(‘baobao’ in Chinese)”was used here. They actually believed that it was something a little baby said. I told them that “baobao” could refer to the speaker himself or herself. They said it was cute.

I like to use catchwords in my daily life. Because of that, my mother likes to use them, too. Three months ago, I often used the catchword phrase, “You are really something, bro!” when somebody did a wonderful job. Since then, when my mother talks with her friends, she always uses it. I feel very happy.

My father is not interested in catchwords. Even though I taught him one, he used it in a wrong way. I taught him“666”, which is used to praise something. Once, we had a dinner at my aunt’s home.
