I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat down beside us. He called the waiter and ordered, "Two cups of coffee, 1of them there on the wall." We heard this with great 2 and saw that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter3 put a piece of paper on the wall saying "A Cup of Coffee". While we were still there, two other men had two cups of coffee but paid for three. 4 the waiter did the same thing. It seemed that this was usual at this place. However, it was something strange for us. Since we had nothing to do with the5, we finished our coffee, paid and left.

    After a few days, we again had a 6to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the 7 of this coffee shop. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, "One cup of coffee from the wall." The waiter served coffee to this man with the same8. The man had his coffee and left without paying. The waiter took off a piece of paper from the 9 and threw it in the dust bin. Now there was no 10 for us. The great kindness for the people in need shown by the people of this town filled up our eyes with tears.

    London is such a wonderful city. It is very large. The Thames River runs 1the city from west to east. So the city has 2 parts: the South and the North. In the North, there are important buildings, shops, big parks and interesting places. The3in London is good. In winter it is not very cold and in summer it is not very hot 4 the city is near the sea. People say London is a foggy city and it often rains. It is true. Last year, when I 5 in London, I met one of the thickest fogs in years. You could hardly see your hand in front of your face. Cars and buses moved 6 with their lights on. When evening fell, the weather got even 7. The fog was as thick as milk.8 the buses and cars stopped. I happened 9 an important meeting on the other side of the town, but it was impossible to find a car. I had to get there 10.

    I'm a fan of pop music. Today I'd like to1a pop singer to you. His name is Mao Buyi. 2you watched the TV show The Coming One，you might know him.

    Mao Buyi has been popular since he3The Coming One. At first，Mao didn't4that he would become so popular. He just wanted to know5people would love the songs he wrote. Quickly he knew the6was yes. Lots of people say his songs are great and7stories. They also8if Mao has got lots of unusual experiences. Actually，he hasn't. He lives a9life. "Everyone has troubles and so do I. I just wrote them in my10 ， "he said.

    It could be a big11to become famous in a short time，but Mao doesn't seem to be very12. He has never bad professional training before，so he often says that he needs to practice more and13himself.

    Many people think his name Buyi means "not easy". 14 ， it means "never change" . Mao hopes he will never15his love of music and that he can be a better singer and write better songs.

My mom once told me that after I learned to say "Mama" and "Dada", my third word was "No!". Sadly, I used that word too often as a boy. I didn't want to eat my vegetables. I didn't want to go to bed on time. I didn't want to work in the garden. I would much rather read books than help my mom and grandma with the boring housework. Being the youngest of three sons, I probably said "no" a lot more than I should have.

As I grew up, I began to say "Yes!" a lot more. I can remember making the bed and sweeping the floor. I felt really happy to help my parents. I can remember trying to get good grades in school and the pride in my parents' eyes when I got into college. I can remember learning that saying "yes" could bring more happiness into my life than saying "no" ever did.

Even now, I am still learning how to say "yes". My only advice to you is not to wait as long as I did. Say "yes" to life. Say "yes" to love. Say "yes" to helping others. "Yes" may only be a word, but it can change your life.
