    It was a Monday morning.When a teacher walked into the 1, he heard a low voice: "Here is the teacher.I am 2 this boring fellow is going to talk about putting in commas."It was 3 voice.His name was Bill.He was talking 4 the boy next to him.

    The teacher didn't get angry.He said 5 about it, then he really began to talk about putting in commas, and then he wrote 6 the sentence: "Bill says the teacher is a boring fellow'' The class 7 and Bill's face 8 red."Now, "said the teacher, "I'll 9 you how important commas are"He put two commas in the sentence, and now read "10 is a boring fellow."

    Tom is a schoolboy.He is only seven years old, but he is very busy on weekdays.One Saturday he decided to relax himself, so he went to the cinema.

    It was the first time for him to do that.He bought a ticket and then went in.But after two or three minutes he came out, bought a second ticket and went in again.After a few minutes he came out again and bought a third ticket.Two or three minutes later he came out and asked for another ticket.Then the girl in the ticket office asked him, “Why did you buy so many tickets? How many friends did you meet?” Tom answered, “No, I have no friends here.But a big boy always stops me at the door and tears(撕) my ticket.”

    An old engineer went suddenly blind.She promised a doctor a lot of money if he could make her see again.“If you fail,” she said, “you'll get nothing.” The doctor agreed.

    The doctor soon discovered what was wrong with her, but he decided not to cure her right away.Instead each time he visited, he secretly took some of her things.When he had taken away everything, he wanted to cure her blindness and asked for the money.

    Now the old woman could see again, she noticed that all her things had gone and she refused to pay the money.So the doctor took her before a judge(法官).

    “What the doctor said is true,”she said to the judge.“But I say I was not well cured, because I still can't see any of the things in my house.”

    The old woman won the case and the doctor went away unhappily without getting his pay.

    Life is not easy, so I'd like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself.”

    When I was a young boy, I was too shy to talk to anyone.My classmates often laughed at me.I was sad but could do nothing.Later, something happened, and it changed my life.It was an English speech contest.My mother asked me to take part in.What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school!

    “Come on, boy.Believe in yourself.You are sure to win.” Then my mother and I talked about many difficult topics.At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself”.I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times.With my mother's great love and encouragement(鼓励), I did well in the contest.I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place.I heard the cheers from the teachers and students.Those classmates who once looked down on (瞧不起) me now all said “Congratulations!” to me.My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

    Since then, everything has changed for me.When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be confident and I will do a great job.This is true not only for a person but also for a country.
