When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”

Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!

    Hi Grace,

    How's it going? Sorry I haven't emailed for a while, but I had so much to do!

    I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn't fit and I wanted

to get some exercise. But that wasn't the only reason that I decided to do a sport. Students

who play sports do better at school.1.                  Exercise also helps learning

and memory (记忆).

2.                  First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before

and I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I knew I couldn't nm for very long without feeling

tired. On the first day, I was able to nm for the first ten minutes, but then I was so tired

that I couldn't even kick the ball!

    Then, I tried volleyball. 3.                 I was able to nm for the first twenty

minutes and I wasn't the slowest runner in the team! After a few weeks .I could run faster

and longer. I was doing better and feeling better. 4.              Maybe I'm

not a team sport person after all!

    Finally, I tried kung fu. It's a great sport that exercises the body and the mind. You learn to follow instructions carefully and do what you are asked to do. This is the fight sport for me! 5.                   I feel so confident that l even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it?

     I hope you're OK!  Write and let me know what you've been doing!

      Bye for now!

Kristie
