I Want To Have a Long Vacation My little baby is only six months now. During the last semester, my mother-in-law helped me in my home so I can go to work. The new semester will begin but no one is able to help me. So, I want a long vacation to stay at home and take care of my baby. Wish that the headmaster is good-hearted enough to allow me.

My New Student I have a new student now. He is an eleven-year-old boy called Yagizhan. This is a very very smart boy who learns Chinese quickly. I like the boy so much. He is lovely, too with big and beautiful eyes. I hope to teach him again soon.

Happiness Passbook A mother gave a passbook to her daughter at the happy girl's wedding and told her, the passbook is for you but there is not any money in it. Please remember, save some money in it and record and happiness when you have some happiness. The daughter nodded. Time passed, the daughter and her husband came to have more and more contradictions. They always argued and at last they decided to divorce. At that time the girl remembered that her mother also told her to withdrawals before they divorce. There were so many people in the bank that she had to wait in line for a long time. It was boring and she opened the passbook. January 1st 2002, saved 300 yuan, got married with the person who I love. September 7th 2002, saved 500 yuan, the first birthday with my husband and received the first red rose. January 14th 2003, saved 1000 yuan, my lovely daughter was born. ...... She couldn't help tearing at the bank and returned home at once. Her husband read the passbook and teared, too. They hugged tightly.

Are there any differences between "be full of" and "be filled with"? Her eyes were filled with tears. Why we use "be filled with" in this sentence? Can we say "Her eyes were full of tears"?

Is the sentence right? He encouraged us not to fail the challenge. Is it right to use "fail" here?
