I had many interesting experiences in my middle school life. I cannot easily forget them. Some of them have really helped to shape my behavior and character.

While at school, I was lucky to have many good friends. Victor was my best friend from the eighth grade. With good friends, I spent many happy hours at school and outside of school. I used to discuss my lessons with them.

While I was in the ninth grade, I was not good at math. But my teacher kindly suggested I work hard and practice more, and I did so. In one exam, I got good grades. I consider this as my greatest success in my middle school life.

Once the principal(校长) visited our class. He asked us to name the writer of a book. I alone gave the correct answer. The principal praised(称赞) me. Shall I forget this?

I took great interest in school plays. Once I played the leading role(主角) in a play. I acted so well that I was given some prizes.

I always looked forward to the writing competition held in our school. I was good at writing, and I never failed to win prizes at the competitions.

Also, I cannot forget the pleasant evenings I spent at the playground. Victor and I played football every evening. We took part in several football games between schools. We won twice and got prizes.

Such experiences made my middle school life very interesting and enjoyable.

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant (令人愉快的)but are not.1. When someone says they have to "face the music", it does not mean they are going to a concert. "Facing the music" means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action.

2. For example, "I can't face another night of camping! It's cold and rainy." Or "In life, you must face your fears." Face used in this way is very common. But now, let's go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, "Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely (极其) fast car." 3..You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang! When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and "face the music". 4. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.

5. To "take your medicine" means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, "You made your bed. Now lie in it." they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!

A.Do you like music ?

B."Face the music" is a good example.

C.The "music" here is the result of your actions.

D.Americans often use the word "face" in this way.

E.There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as "face the music".

F.But you do not listen.
