I'm David．When I was 13．my parents decided that I should go to England to improve my English．I had never been to other countries before．so I felt a little worried．My parents prepared everything for my journey．My plane was due(预期的)to leave at 9：30 am and arrive in two hours．I phoned the English family who I would stay with and they told met hey would wait for me at the airport．

    Unluckily my plane to London was delayed(延误)．I tried to phone the English family again but I couldn't speak to them because they had already left home for the airport．

    When I arrived in London．it was already 1：30 pm．I went to get my luggage(行李)but I couldn't find it．I became very worried．Luckily,the airport staff(工作人员)was very helpful and efficient ． I didn't wait long—they found it 10 minutes later．

    My English family were still waiting for me!I was so happy!Then my new life in London began．My English family were quite kind．I learned a lot of English because I spent most of the day talking in English．I played computer games with the little boy in my English family．I also taught him how to play chess．Sometimes I told him stories I learned from my family．

    I missed my family during my stay in London,but I also felt sad when my stay there came to an end．My English family held a party for me．I enjoyed it very much．I'll never forget that summer in London!It is one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had．

How to Choose books you'll love

Do you have trouble choosing a book to read? With so many choices it can be hard to decide which books are right for you. Here are some tips of choosing the ones you're more likely to enjoy. 

    ▲

Thinking about stories you've enjoyed in the past can give you clues about what genres① you prefer. Maybe you like science fiction, which transports you to completely made-up worlds. Or perhaps you like historical fiction, made-up stories based on true events. Nonfiction is another choice. Think about the topics that interest you or an interest you have and want to know more about. 

Ask forrecommendations②

You can visit the library and ask a librarian to guide you to the shelves that feature the genre you'd like to dive into. Another idea is to ask friends with similar tastes what books they have liked and would recommend. You can also find a list of recommendations from the Internet. 

Search for "readalikes"

If you enjoyed a particular book, you may like others that are similar in style, known as a "readalike." You can look up a writer whose book you liked in the past, and find out whether they have written sequels③ or other books you might enjoy. If you have read through an entire series and are looking for new writers, you can checkout the website www.baidu.com and put in the name of the writer you like, the site's search engine will suggest similar writers to you. 

Take the stress off

You won't love every book you read, and that's OK! No matter how far along you are in the book you are reading, if you don't like it, it's fine to stop reading it. When you take the stress off yourself to finish a book you're not enjoying, you free yourself up to choose another book. 

Tom and Mike were good friends, and they began to work in a company together the same year. They both worked hard. After several years, however, the boss made Mike manager (经理) but Tom was still an office worker. Tom couldn't stand it, so he handed a letter to his boss, saying that he decided to resign (辞职) his job because the boss didn't value his hard work at all.

The boss knew that Tom worked very hard for years. He thought for a moment and said, "I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your mind." Tom agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out if there was anyone who sold water-melons in the market. Tom returned soon. He said he had found a man selling watermelons. The boss asked the price of the watermelons. Tom shook his head and went back to the market again. When he returned, he told the boss it was $2 for each kilo.

The boss told Tom to wait for a moment in his office, and he called Mike in. He asked Mike to find if there was anyone selling watermelons in the market. Later Mike returned and said, "Only one man is selling watermelons, $2 for each kilo. He has 100 watermelons in all. Every watermelon weighs about 2 kilos. They were brought here two days ago, pretty fresh and sweet." Tom got to know the difference between Mike and himself. He decided not to resign his job any more.
