How long ________ Jack? **********************************************************

A Storytelling Competition Jone, the introverted bookworm, surprised even himself when he answered "yes" to the school's storytelling contest. But as competition day arrived, his palms turned into sweaty seas. One by one, competitors strutted their stories. Jone's turn loomed, each step to the stage a daunting climb. Under the spotlight, his mind went blank. Hours spent practicing, the memorized story, all vanished. Then, a spark. "Here goes nothing!" he muttered, and words began to flow. He wasn't just reading; he was the story, his voice weaving magic. The audience, initially quiet, leaned in, captivated by this shy boy who transformed into a real deal. His diligence paid off handsomely. “The end,” followed by thunderous applause. Jone bowed, stunned. Without a word, the judges awarded him the trophy. All the nervous sweat, the self-doubt, washed away in a wave of pure joy. Jone, the bookworm, had found his roar.

Dongguan has a rich historical heritage. Sea battle museum is one of them. It is a bridge connecting the past with the future. In this museum, many precious artifacts and documents are displayed. They tell the history of the Opium War. Our hero, Mr. Lin Zexu destroyed the opium and defended the attacks. He is well-known for his determination, courage and success. The museum is a remembrance of a suffering and humiliating period.When I walk in it, I feel the pain and misery. When I stare at Lin Zexu’s sculpture, I seem to see how he bravely protect our homeland. For a nation to be in control of its fate, its people must possess wisdom and courage to get rid of such corrupted thoughts to survive and thrive. In a word，sea battle museum is not only a treasure for Dongguan, but also a fortune for all humanity.

Hi Mahmoda, sorry, I am not available to meet on Wednesday this week. Are you available today or Thursday (same time). And if you’re busy there’s no problem.

Thereis a great saying goes that a person spends two years learning how to speak, but spends the whole life learning how to shut up! We always meet some people who really like sharing their opinions on different things. We listen to them and smile to them in a good manner, but they want us to accept their opinions and follow them. It's really terrible! Sometimes, we meet some people who ask us some suggestions about something, we give them some pieces of advice, but find that they are not happy, even finally we become strangers to each other. In fact, the person doesn't want us to give him or her any suggestion, He or she just wants us to support his opinion. In some people's mind, they don't want others to be better than themselves. They might pretend to be kind to you when you talk about your wealth or position in your company, but another day a rumor about you may be sprending quickly in your company. You hurt yourself with your mouth! Zip up our mouth anytime is the advice that I want to give the people who really like sharing anything in their daily lives!
