There was a park near my home,but I didn't go there often.Many people said there was nothing special there.One afternoon I went into the park.I walked quickly because there wasn't much to see.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}“Which way should I go? ”I asked myself I looked at one path(小路),then the other.I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide(宽阔的)and clean.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Though the flowers weren't very beautiful-they made me feel good.I decided to take this path.But wait ! I looked at the right one.The path didn't look nice.It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.For a long time I couldn't decide which path to choose.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}It wasn't nice,but I didn't want to give up.At last, I came to the end of the path.Ah! There was a small garden there.It'was beautiful.There were trees, flowers and chairs there.I thought it was the nicest part of the park.
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park.Now I' d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}I knew they didn't believe me.They couldn't even remember that path because it was so small.
My trip to the park made me understand something about life.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}You may get a big surprise!
A.But when I told them what I had seen in the park,they just smiled at me without saying a word. B.After a while(一会儿)a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path. C.I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. D.There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. E.I don't want to go to the park any more.

It may take a long time for some people to learn to speak English. However, by following these tips(实用的提示) you should be speaking English in no time.
Tip I: Forget about having a large vocabulary. Only learn the words you will need most. For example, if you are traveling in an English-speaking country, make a list of all the possible sentences and questions that you would need to know, such as "Do you know where the nearest bathroom is? "and" I am lost. Can you help me?" Think about what sentences you would want a traveler to know if they came to your country and couldn't speak your language.
Tip 2: Once you have a list of vocabulary that you think will be most useful to you, make sure you understand the meaning of each word and know how to use each word in a sentence. Try making lists with new words and sample sentences(例句). Ten new words is enough on each list. Then stick(粘贴)the lists up all over your house where you can easily see them. Practice every day. Whenever you see a list, make sure you stop and read through it.
Tip 3: Now pronounce these words and sentences properly. Try to learn pronunciation by listening to how English speakers pronounce words. Watch English TV shows, listen to English radio programs and try to talk with as many English speakers as you can, online or in person.
I wish you the best of luck and I hope my tips are helpful!
