    Once there was a piano player in a bar (酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.
“I don't sing,” said the man.
    But the lady told the waiter, “I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”
    The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”
    So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
    He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.
    You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.

George is a 15-year-old middle school student. He didn't use to be interested in English. When he started taking English seriously in Grade Nine, he noticed that his grammar was a serious problem. He couldn't understand the sentences because of the grammar. To fix this, he created a study plan to improve his grammar.

He started by reviewing the basic grammar rules. He realized that he was poor in grammar because he never really understood the rules. For example, he would often mix up verb tenses（时态）. To deal with this, he spent a few weeks just going over the basics. It was a little boring at first, but it made a great difference.

One of the turning points for him was when he began keeping a grammar diary. Whenever he made a mistake, he would write it down along with the correct usage. He remembers one time, he kept confusing the past perfect tense with the simple past. Writing out the differences and practicing sentences in his diary helped him internalize（内化） the rules.

After a long time of hard work, George has made great progress in grammar. Now he has a better understanding of English grammar. He can understand different tenses, parts of speech and sentence structures（结构） better. He can also find out and correct the mistakes easily. He likes English a lot now and he is sure that he will get better at English.

In fact, to get better at anything, one needs to find what one is not good at and deal with it head-on. Remember, challenges are also chances. They are chances for you to get better.
