My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play.
"Choose a character in the play whom you'd like to be," she told us. "This afternoon learn a few lines of this part for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I'll decide who play each part."
I wanted to have one of the bigger parts in the play, so I choose the part of the king . He has a lot of lines to say. I learned them by heart.
This morning in our English lesson we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted really well.
Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher would decide who would play each part .
Many of the students in my class couldn't act at all. They couldn't even read without making lots of mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play.

Smartphone, Poor Sight
As we all know, smartphones make our lives easier, so we can find people around us always busy on them. But have you ever thought about what they mean to our eyes?
According to a survey, many people have become near-sighted（近视）because they spend too much time on the screens. When we look at something far away, our eyes blink（眨眼）about 15 times every minute. But when we look at things closer to the face, our eyes get drier because the blinkings slow down. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. Bright screens can hurt our eyes and even cause more serious eye illness.
So use your smartphones wisely, and start to protect your eyes before it’s too late!
Hold the phone at least 30cm away from your eyes when using it.
Don’t forget to blink your eyes often before they get dry.
Keep the light on when you use smartphones at night.
Take a break at least every thirty minutes and look at something far away. Then try to look at the top of your nose and repeat this several times. Why do many people use smartphones?

When I was about 12, I hated a girl. I even thought of her as an enemy. She liked to pointed out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was too thin; I was not a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. At last, I couldn’t stand her. I ran to my father.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Jane, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. 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. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. I couldn’t change some of them, like being very thin, but more I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a pretty clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,”he said. “You know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth.”
