Building a house costs quite a lot of money. 1 you plan to build a house.Your first step will be to find a right piece of land.Your 2 will depend on many different things.You will probably try to find a sunny place, with 3 surroundings near shops and bus stops, not too far from your friends and the 4 where you work.
Next you will find an excellent 5 , and together with the builder you will work out a plan.The builder will draw the plan.It will 6 the number of rooms, their position and size, and other 7 which must be noticed, 8 windows, doors, and electric outlets.The builder will 9 how much money is 10 to build your house.He will work out the 11 of the wood, bricks, the glass, and 12 else that must be used in building the house.Later on, when he starts to build, this estimate(预算)must be corrected and revised(修正).His estimate is based on existing 13 , but prices of such things may 14 , and many other things may happen between the time when he 15 the estimate and the time when he builds the house.
When the builder 16 his estimate, you may wish to change your plan.(You may also wish to change your builder, if his estimate is too 17 !)You may find that some of the features(特征)you wanted at first 18 too much, or that you can spend a little more and 19 something to your plan.The builder's estimate depends on the plan, 20 the final plan depends on the builder's estimate.
In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football.I gave the same 1 each year, aimin g at recruiting(招收)new team members.I talked about 2 football wasn't just for 3 athletes and how everyone could 4 from it.This year, a 5 looking couple approached me after my speech.They said their son really wanted to play football.They had tried to 6 him out of it, but he had his heart 7 on joining the team.
When they told me his name, my heart sank.Michael was five feet and ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds.He was a 8 boy, the constant target of other kids' jokes, and as far as I knew he had never 9 sports.I knew he would never 10 it through football practice, let 11 as a player.But we told them we could give it a try.
On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field, we did 30 minutes of warming-up 12 starting a one-mile jog around the track.I 13 my eye on Michael.At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet.“Michael,”I said,“Why don't you just 14 the mile?”He said in tears that he wanted to run with the others, so I let him go on. 15 he fell, but each time 16 himself up.
The same thing happened every day for weeks, and Michael gained strength both 17 and physically.By the last week of practice, Michael could run the mile without falling, we had 18 only one game that season, 19 the team cheered louder for Michael's run than the victory they had, Afterward, Michael approached me, and I told him how 20 I was of him.
“Mama, when I grow up, I'm going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three.It was the first time that my 1 took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training.As I grew older and was 2 to more, my interests in the world of dance 3 varied but that little girl's dream of someday becoming a 4 in the company never left me.In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a 5 ; I became a member of the company 6 back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely 7 any sense of reality.I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief 8 I was halfway through rehearsals(排练)on my first day.I never actually 9 to get the job.After being offered the position, I was completely 10 .I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change, it did not come without its fair share of 11 .Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to 12 up the material fast with every last bit of concentration.It is that extreme 13 to detail(细节)and stress on practice that set us 14 .To then follow those high-energy rehearsals 15 a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new 16 of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical 17 were pushed much further than I thought 18 .I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great 19 of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a 20 that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
