阅读部分

When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher encouraged me to enter a writing contest, sponsored by an organization in our hometown. I demurred.

I loved history.

I did not love writing.

I was a Cuban refugee, and English had been my nemesis from the moment I first shoved a chunky No. 2 pencil up and down the dashed lines of D’Nealian paper.

My teacher knew my writing was cursory. And I knew that I lacked discipline. (What neither of us knew was that I was also dyslexic.)

Writing was so excruciating that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic as an oral report — a one-act play, where I played all the parts. No one wheeze-laughed harder than he.

So, why the sudden hectoring to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. And if you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.”

Few things motivate a writer like a bit of shameless flattery.

I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. The story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant notion, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.

What did the horse think, as he ripped through the night, his coat sloughing sweat, his eyes wide with adrenaline? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit?

I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit.

But, like Revere’s fabled horse, I kept going.

I worked hard. I checked my spelling. With a dictionary. I enlisted my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half-dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.

When I handed in the finished essay, my teacher read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again. And no name. Entries are anonymous.”

I wrote it again. And again and again. If I didn’t win, I didn’t care. I had poured a wobbly writer’s blood and sweat into something that made my teacher proud.

续写部分

Weeks passed. I forgot the competition. Thoughts of winning — a pipe dream to begin with — gave way to the enticements of a Georgia spring.

Then came the news.

There were two winners from each grade. A lanky, sweet-natured redhead in my class won second place.

I won first place.

That may have been the first time in my chatty life I was struck dumb, in any language.

Our teacher hooted with delight, my classmates stared at me in open disbelief, and Second-Place Red gamely shook my hand.

The following week, the winners met with the head of the sponsoring organization. We stood in the office, clutching our plaques and tittering to one another, when a small, birdlike woman entered. She spoke to the adults, then made her way down the line of winners, congratulating each of us and shaking hands. Red and I were last. We introduced ourselves. She looked from one to the other.

She didn’t speak.

She didn’t extend her hand.

After a few awkward seconds, she cleared her throat and explained that there had been an embarrassing mistake.

Then she gently reached down and took our plaques — hands crossing at the wrists, she re-assigned them — and apologized for the error.

I was now the second-place winner.

No one challenged her.

It wasn’t until later that I remembered. Our entries were anonymous. How could she have known which child had won what?

I can’t tie a bow on the end of this strange tale and make it pretty. It’s not that kind of story. But there is this: I got a taste for writing that spring. I learned to respect a writer’s labor and perseverance. And — despite the challenges of both dyslexia and a second language — I never stopped writing.

Dear Chris,

As a history lover, many influential historic figures are engraved in my mind. But what comes to my mind is Confucius.

Confucius, also known as Kong Qiu, was a Chinese philosopher and politician who lived during the Spring and Autumn period. He is widely considered one of the most important figures in Chinese history and his teachings have had a profound impact on Chinese culture and society. Confucius believed in the importance of education, morality, and social order. He emphasized the importance of respect for elders, loyalty to family, and the pursuit of knowledge. His teachings were compiled into a book called the Analects, which has been studied and revered for centuries. Confucius' influence can still be seen in modern Chinese society, where his teachings continue to be studied and applied in daily life.

Best regards,Li Hua

Dear Chris,

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to share with you some information about a famous historical figure from China named Confucius. Confucius was a philosopher who lived over 2,500 years ago and had a great impact on Chinese culture and society.

He believed in the importance of moral values, respect for authority, and education. His teachings emphasized the idea of self-improvement, along with the value of filial piety and living a virtuous life. Confucius aspired to serve as a ruler who could bring harmony and order to society.

Despite facing opposition during his lifetime, his teachings were eventually adopted as the basis for Chinese imperial ideology and continue to have an enduring impact on Chinese thought and society today.

I hope this brief introduction provides some insight into this important historical figure. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Best regards,Li Hua

The new skill i acquired was skating. The process is challening but productive.

Innitially, on watching the Winter Olympics Games in Beijing, I became enthusiastic about skating. From then on, I was determined to master this fascinating sport.However, at the very beginning, when I stepped on the ice, Istumbled over myself. Hard as I strive,I stillfell over again and again. The moment I thought of the athletes on the field, I was inspired by their powerful spirits. Eventually, my persistence and painstaking efforts paid off. I can skate freely all by myself.

From the learning experience, I fully understand that only by diligent practicing can we overcome many kinds of difficulties. And eventually, we can have a good command of what we desire to learn.

Dear [Name],

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to share with you something exciting that I learned during my recent vacation. I have acquired a new skill - coding!

I started by learning basic programming language and gradually progressed towards more advanced concepts and techniques. It was quite challenging at first, but as I practiced, I began to feel more confident in my abilities.

One of the things that I found interesting about coding is how it allows me to create and build things that are not limited by physical boundaries. With a few lines of code, I can bring ideas to life on a computer screen. It's like having a superpower!

Learning to code has also taught me the importance of breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps. It requires a lot of patience, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. But the feeling of accomplishment after solving a tough coding challenge is truly amazing.

Overall, I am excited to continue learning and exploring the world of coding. It's a valuable skill to have in today's digital age, and I believe it will open up many opportunities for me in the future.

Dear teacher,

I think it's not a good idea to randomly pair up students for the spoken English training class. I have a few reasons for my opinion.

Firstly, randomly pairing up students may lead to imbalanced language abilities within the groups. Some students might have advanced speaking skills while others may struggle with basic conversation. This can hinder the progress of both students as the more advanced one may dominate the conversation, leaving little room for the other student to improve.

Secondly, students may feel uncomfortable or less motivated if they are paired with someone they don't get along with or have difficulty communicating with. Building a positive and comfortable learning environment is crucial for effective language practice, and randomly assigning pairs might undermine this.

Instead, I suggest implementing a system where students can choose their own partners based on their language abilities and personal preferences. This allows students to collaborate with someone they are comfortable with, ensuring a supportive and productive learning environment.

Yours,

Li hua

As a student of our school, I am excited to participate in the upcoming English Festival by submitting a personal item for the "Happy Childhood" exhibition. One item that holds a lot of personal meaning to me is my first skateboard.

I received the skateboard as a gift on my 7th birthday and it quickly became my favorite toy. It allowed me to explore the town with my friends and stay active outdoors. Through skateboarding, I gained confidence, balance, and perseverance as I tried to perfect new tricks.

In many ways, this skateboard represents more than just a fun childhood memory. It is also a symbol of the skills that I developed through my childhood experiences. It reminds me to embrace challenges, be adventurous, and never give up. I hope that by sharing my personal story, others will be inspired to find joy and growth in their own childhood hobbies and pursuits.

Thank you for considering my submission, and I look forward to seeing the "Happy Childhood" exhibition come to life through the contributions of fellow students.

Sincerely,

Wu Lei

Dear Coordinator,

I am excited to write to express my interest in participating in the Chinese Workshop event at your school. As an exchange student from China, I believe that cultural exchange between different countries is of great importance, and I would be thrilled to contribute to this cause by sharing some of my own culture with the students at your school.

The Chinese Workshop event is a great opportunity for students to learn about Chinese culture through traditional cuisine, handicrafts, calligraphy, and other interactive activities. In addition to these components of the workshop, I would like to offer a session on teaching others how to make a popular Chinese paper-cutting craft.

Paper-cutting is an art form that has a long history in China and is still widely practiced today. With its intricate designs and folkloric themes, it provides a fascinating window into traditional Chinese culture. By teaching this craft to others, I hope to not only help them learn a new skill, but also to foster a greater appreciation of Chinese arts and heritage.

I believe that events like the Chinese Workshop are crucial for promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my own skills and experiences as part of this effort. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to contributing to a successful and enriching event.

Sincerely,

LiHua

Dear Ryan,

I am Li Hua, one of your students. Regarding the grouping method for the oral training course, I would like to raise some concerns and suggestions. While it is true that randomly mixing up students can encourage more communication and interaction, there may also be some potential issues to consider.

Firstly, random grouping can result in students with vastly different speaking abilities being paired together. This may make some students with stronger communication skills feel inhibited, while those with weaker speaking skills may feel overwhelmed. Additionally, some students may feel uneasy and uncomfortable having to work with unfamiliar classmates.

Therefore, I suggest that a more thoughtful grouping method be adopted, such as grouping students according to their exam grades, verbal performance, or interests. This would allow each student to practice their spoken English with peers who are of a similar proficiency level, and ones with similar interests, which would serve to enhance student motivation and confidence. This approach also ensures that students with varying abilities have opportunities to develop their language skills.

I hope that my suggestions will be considered. Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

Li Hua

Dear Ryan,

My name is Li Hua, one of your esteemed students. I write to express my opinion concerning the grouping strategy proposed by you for the oral training course. While it may be true that random pairing of students can foster greater interaction and communication, there are potential drawbacks to consider.

Caution must be exercised in randomly grouping students, particularly in a scenario where their communication abilities vastly differ. It may lead to a situation where high-level communicators feel violated and inhibited, while those lacking are bogged down by the overwhelming challenges of the class. In addition, some students may feel uneasy working with unfamiliar classmates.

With this in mind, I propose that a thoughtful grouping strategy be adopted, albeit grouping students according to their exam scores, verbal proficiency or individual interests. This, in turn, ensures that every student can practice speaking English with like-minded peers, thereby boosting their motivation and confidence. More importantly, it guarantees that students with varying communication abilities have equal opportunities to develop their language skills.

It is my fervent hope that my suggestions would gain approval, and taken into account. I thank you for your unwavering attention.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

Dear Ryan

I am your student, Li Hua. I have some questions and suggestions regarding the grouping of students in the oral training class. While random grouping can encourage communication and interaction to some extent, there may be potential problems.

Firstly, students with significant differences in speaking skills may be grouped together, which may make stronger speakers feel restrained and weaker speakers feel overwhelmed. Moreover, some students may feel uneasy and constrained when paired with unfamiliar classmates.

Therefore, I suggest adopting a more reasonable grouping method, such as grouping students based on their exam scores, speaking ability, or interests. This would allow each student to practice speaking English with peers at a similar level and shared interests, boosting their motivation and confidence, and promoting mutual improvement among all levels of students.

I hope my suggestions will be accepted. Thank you!

Best regards,

Li Hua
