What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success only with practice. In fact, I fell both of these statements are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition, Thinking that I might be lucky again, I joining in other art competitions, ‘But the result was that I won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the I produced were not of a very high standard
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky , I also need to put in hard work. As we know, akes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.

If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to catch what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story if you stop a few times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent(妨碍) yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to depend mainly on the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main idea of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around (停留)for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers（运动鞋）. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case (以防万一)you don’t have time in the morning.

I hope you will be the first listener to tell the name of the music and the person who it. but I do, you need to get a pencil and a piece of paper, as I’m going to give you some which should make your job a little easier. Are you ready? Right. Now listen carefully, as you might be this week’s winner.
Although the person who wrote the music was born in Italy, he spent most of his in Spain. Have you got that? The second point: There is also a famous play which has the same title as this music and which is usually performed in the open air in the summer. Any yet? I should warn you that it’s not that easy. Now for the next point: When this piece of music was first performed, many people in the audience got up and walked out. They thought the music was terrible and said it was a waste of their money. It’s really, when you think how it is today.
And now for the last point. Part of his music was used for an advertisement which you can see on television, in a lot of magazines and even on your cinema screen from next month. I’m when you hear the music, you’ll know what the advertisement is for. I’m not going to tell you what product (产品) it is, because that would almost give you the answer!

I"m the type of guy who believes you can achieve anything you set your mind to, if you give it your all and don"t give up. , when I decided to write a novel, it didn"t matter to me that I had never done anything like that before. What did matter to me was that I had a great story in my head, a story that needed to be .
What I thought would take a couple of months or a couple of years. After five months of writing, I at last the "finish line" - that magical day when you type "THE END". Okay, so I wrote a manuscript（手稿）.The first thing I did was to copy it, followed by sending it out to all of my friends who a lot, to get creative criticism（批评）．And then it was back to rewriting the story. Next, I hired a professional（专业人员），who gave me great ，which meant more rewriting. I soon learned a lesson in writing - writing is rewriting. There would always be for improvement.
I had rewritten the manuscript time and time again for two years, and in the process, I learned to write. Looking back, I had no idea how long it was going to take or how hard it was going to be. Writing the manuscript was the easy part, while going on the way to write a book was the hard part.
Pursuing（追求）my dreams has made all the difference. Life is a journey. I can"t see what ahead, but I know one thing for sure: when I look I see the things that I"ve achieved and I smile with pride.
