A man and a woman had a son many years after they married. They had a happy family and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was four years old, an accident happened. One night the father was very tired after work, so he asked his wife to meet their son and take him home. The mother was very busy in the kitchen, and she forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way in the street. When the mother found this, she went to look for him, but she couldn’t find him. Then she went to the police station to ask for help. She was very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband. After hearing the bad news, the father hurried to the police station. When he saw his wife, he didn’t blame(责备) her. Instead he said, “I love you, darling!”
“If I had picked him up or found this earlier, this would not have happened,” the father said to himself. He thought there was no point in blaming anyone. His wife also lost her only child. What he could give her was just understanding. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, they finally found their lost son. From then on, they became closer than before.
When something bad happens, people always spend lots of time blaming others instead of giving them support. Try to learn to forgive(原谅), and then you will find the world is much more wonderful.The father didn’t pick the boy up that day because he was________.

Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave（勇敢）. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more pract
ice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
