（hard）. It called for a complete change in my view on life. Here is the method I tried.

What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more
(throw) away as rubbish.

(company) now also take back some old computers.

computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish
someone else's useful things and cut down waste, too.

History is one long story, or (real), a lot of stories of competing narratives (叙述),
about the people who shaped the world we live in.

(stranger). Telling your family history is a great way for the younger members of your family
(learn) some history and really understand and connect with it.

In this constantly changing world, how to put the knowledge (gain) every day into
(real) has interested numerous people. As a proverb goes, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key
it.” Apparently, this saying
(try) to deliver the message
we ought not to stop practicing it if we
(true) want to master the knowledge we learn,
There are several reasons (account) for this statement. To begin with, human beings are forgetful beings; therefore, only when we use knowledge, make
(mistake), and try to use it again will we be able to remember it by our heart. Moreover, knowledge has become growingly complicated and we can seldom grasp the essence of it if we do not practice it again and again.
Practicing, to sum up, (be) of greatest importance for those who are determined to learn knowledge well. As a student, I hope that the young can focus more attention on practicing
they learn.
