When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.
One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour late, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn`t afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to Wait right here. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, ”You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?” I did not know how to answer that question. He continued,: It is OK if you can`t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to mum`s workplace by taxi.
I have depended on the kindness of many strangers in my whole life. I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I don’t even remember what the man`s face looked like, but he taught me a lesson—people are more important than things.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it. Secondly, we must be able to speak it correctly with confidence and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to compose(创作) sentences that are grammatically(语法地) correct. Fourthly, we must know how to put sentences into paragraphs, so as to write a good letter or composition.
There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory(记忆力) is of great help but it is not simply enough to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning long lists of words and their meanings by heart. We must learn words not by themselves but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use.” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
