A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked, "Why do people shout in anger at each other?"
His students thought for a while,and one of them said, "Because when we lose our calm,we shout."
"But why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You may just tell him what you have to say in a soft manner as well," said the wise man.
Students gave some other answers but none was any good.
"When two people are angry with each other,their hearts become distant," the wise man explained. "To cover that distance they must shout to be heard by each other. The angrier they are,the louder they will have to shout at each other and cover that great distance."
The wise man then gave an example, "What will happen when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more,what will happen? They don't need to talk. They only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other."
He looked at his students and said, "So when you argue,do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise,there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return."

I've always liked the famous 1 ：Practice makes perfect.
I'm now in the 2 (two) month of teaching as a language assistant inFrance. Honestly speaking,I do love my job. Most of my classes here are French classes; that is to say the students have extra (额外的) English lessons to help them become better language learners. However,when I ask my students 3 (describe) their favorite films,they can't even tell me the names of any films,I'm really 4
My French is far from perfect. I remember 5 (exact) how I felt when I was sitting in a classroom and had to speak a strange,unfamiliar language 6 front of my classmates and a native speaker. I was very frightened and nervous. But only now when I'm a language assistant myself can I understand how valuable the role is. Assistants provide an opportunity for foreigners to listen to a real accent,learn everyday phrases and of course,offer them a chance to practice 7 (speak) with native speakers. So,8 they should do is to practice as much as they can.
There is always something new to learn such as vocabulary or grammar. You can always improve. I really want to help these students become the best learners but I can't help them 9 they start to help themselves.
Just like my students,I 10 (buy) a French book and I want to learn French well. However,only a few days after buying it,I threw the book in the bottom of my bag without reading. So,I guess there is only one thing left for me to do: Pick up the book and start taking my own advice to be a better learner.
