In the era of high-tech today, face-to-face conversation is dying.
The New York Times published an article recently that shows great 36 for the “death of conversation”. It 37 that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more 38 than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.
Users get final connectivity 39 the price of 40 face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are 41 to a different way of being “alone together”.
Actually, 42 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to 43 thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot 44 a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The give and take of 45 in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that 46 ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and 47 people.
Turkle mentioned the popular 48 of “I share, therefore I am.” among this generation.

Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that 53 is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n) 54 to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other. 55 throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.

It was a dark day, one of depression, sorrow and anger. As I climbed out of the 36 , after witnessing my time in the 100 yard freestyle, I did not feel like speaking to anyone. I saw the bright smiles of swimmers who had just 37 a best time. 38 , I had failed. Or at least that is what I thought at the time.
I was lying on my cool bed when an idea 39 me. Success is the 40 to go from failure to failure without losing your 41 . At practice the next day, I told my swimming teammates about my goal time and they all either laughed or replied with a 42 similar response like, “You can’t do it” or “Probably not”. Believe it or not, these are the responses that make my goal 43 .
Finally came the day when I had to 44 to myself and others that with 45 there is no limit to your achievements.
With the starting gun 46 , I dived with perfect form into the pool. I felt the cool water running 47 my back. I swam like a fish, bouncing off each 48 at the wall as if it was a spring board. On the 49 turn, I came back to the wall with every piece of strength I had. I 50 the final wall with my fingertips and I knew that I had swum the 51 race.
I had done it! I had achieved my best time! Joy filled my 52 like water does a cup. I saw the 53 on all of my friend’s face as I 54 out of the pool; their jaws dropped to the ground. I began to laugh and gave them the thumbs up.
I have 55 in life that having belief in yourself opens all gates. Never forget that anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.

“Scotty!” Mr. Brown, my Year 11 English teacher, called me by my nickname (绰号) across the classroom. His eyes were bright and a secret 36 was half hidden behind the beard.
Once he finished joking over my unbearable 37 , I realized he was going to read my story aloud to the class. I turned red, feeling at once both embarrassed and 38 . I had my very 39 reading audience! Though my classmates were a ‘passive audience’, it didn’t weaken my feeling of being 40 .
After that, I came to 41 those Year 11 English classes. Throughout school I had always studied hard and achieved well in my school subjects. But creative 42 was a passion, and it was not an assignment, but a way of understanding the world and of 43 my thoughts and feelings about events and attitudes.
Mr. Brown was the first to 44 me for my writing so openly. My scores were always 19/20 or 20/20. My stories were often read out to the class. He even 45 one with the respected Head of English teachers, which was the most 46 part that is impressed on my memory. But 47 that, he offered a belief in me that no other teacher had.
My school 48 often stated, ‘Candice is a quiet achiever.’ I thought it was meant as a(n) 49 for being hard-working. I was someone that no one really 50 before, but Mr. Brown managed to 51 all that by bringing me to the attention of the world. Though it was the relatively 52 world of school, it put the seed of belief in myself that some day I could be an 53 person rather than the person who faded into the background.
I 54 touch with my teacher long ago, as we do when we move away from the school system and enter life. I wish I could tell him now how much he 55 me.
