My friends and I joined a two﹣day survival(生存) training course in the mountains. The first day was really(1) ﹣there was so much to do! Arriving at the campsite, we were divided into groups and given a tent, some food, a (2) and a compass(指南针). Standing next to a small river, Fanny(3) camping in the grassy area nearby. However, our instructor, Mr.Lee, pointed out that it might flood(淹没) if it rained. In the end, we found a (4) area. Putting up the tent was very hard.(5) Mr.Lee helped us a lot.
By the time we had put up the tent,(6) was really hungry. "We wouldn't have got this hungry if we had brought some snacks." Peter said. We all told him to(7) complaining(抱怨) and help us start a fire to cook our food(8) . Realizing we were having trouble making the fire, he finally(9) .
The next day started early. Woken by a strange noise. Peter went to see what was(10) . "Some cows have eaten our breakfast!"he shouted. "That's all because you didn't(11) the food properly last night."said Mr.Lee.
Worried that Mr.Lee was angry with us, we tried very hard on our next (12) ﹣ using the
map and compass to find a secret location. We made it to the location(13) the other group did. We all felt very proud of(14) .
The survival training course was a great(15) . Now I feel I could survive anywhere!

Mrs Barry said, "Diana, take Anne out into the garden and show her your flowers."
Outside in the garden, stood Anne and Diana, looking(12) at each other over a cluster of bluebells.
Anne said at last, almost in a whisper, "Diana, do you think you can like me a little(13) to be my bosom friend?"
Diana laughed. She always laughed(14) she spoke.
"Sure," she said. "Anne, I’m awfully glad you’ve come to live at Green Gables."
When Marilla and Anne went home, Diana went with them as(15) as the bridge. They parted with many promises to spend the next afternoon together again.

As a university student, I decided to learn German. For some reason I really liked the language, but I was not very good at learning it.The grammar(1) me a lot and even drove me crazy.My only advantage was(2) .I got an A on every word test I took.After two years of studies,I struggled(挣扎)to communicate in(3) German and signed up to study in Germany to complete my degree.It was the(4) term I would ever have.
The moment I arrived in Germany,I felt like I was starting from scratch (从头开始).The German I'd learned in university wasn't(5) for everyday conversation. My book knowledge fell by the wayside as I thought about the basics of getting around, reading emails and talking with my classmates. I was often nervous at school, worried about whether the teachers would call on me in class and whether I'd understand their questions. I only(6) a little around my eight roommates, who were willing to speak German slowly to me and didn't seem to mind my(7) .
I chose to study three courses﹣reading & writing, grammar and history. All were in German and difficult, but the history class was the worst. The teacher spoke so(8) that almost everything he said flew right over my head. I sat in the front, took notes and even recorded every single word he said in class, but(9) helped. I had no idea what the class was really about …
Years have passed, but I still remember how it felt to struggle so hard at(10) another language. That trip was a difficult but valuable lesson. I think my failure that term taught me just as much as my success.
