Curiosity is an important characteristic of a genius. You can’t find an intellectual giant who is not a curious person.

  1  This is necessary if you are to have a curious mind. Some things you know and believe might be wrong, and you should be prepared to accept things you don’t know or you don’t quite agree on.

  2 If you just accept the world as it is, you will certainly lose your “curiosity”. Try to discover what is beneath(在…下面) the surfaces of things around you.

Ask questions from time to time. A sure way to discover what is beneath the surface is by asking questions: What is that? Why does it make that way? How does it work? And so on. 3  

See learning as something that is fun. If you see learning as a burden, it will just make the burden heavier. But if you can find learning interesting, it will open another door.  4  

Read different kinds of reading materials. Don’t spend too much time on just one subject.  5  It will introduce you to other possibilities that may interest you.

A．Search for ideas to write about.

B．So make an effort to enjoy the learning process.

C．Discuss your ideas with other people.

D．Feed your mind with interesting facts about different subjects.

E. Keep an open mind.

F. It is the simplest way for curious people to increase their knowledge.

G. Try to look into the things.

Dear Katherine,

How exciting I am to hear you are coming to visit me the next Friday. Fortunately, I won’t be able to meet you at the airport although I have classes in the afternoon. You won’t find difficult to get to the city center. The bus left the airport every 30 minute and will take you right to the International Hotel. My class will be over by then or I will pick you up there. I will take you to a hot-pot restaurant for dinner and we’ll talk with our plan for the weekend over dinner. Having a pleasant trip and see you on Friday.

Sincerely yours,

Zhang Lin
