Everyone has his dreams of the future. But do you know w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} future really is? I think future is now. That is to say, we m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} treasure(珍惜)every minute and second.

    There is an old English{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(say), “Gain time, gain life.” Then what is time? Time is something that can't be seen or touched, but we feel it {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(pass) by. Time is always with us. We often say “Time is money”, but it is more {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(value), because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, it will never return. That's why we say time is priceless.

    Grasping the present is grasping the future. As students, we should work hard in o {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to create a bright future of our own. We should m{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the best use of every hour and be the master today. We should do everything as {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good) as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.

Time and tide{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wait) for no man. If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow.

    Some people learn a second language easily, while others have trouble in it. How can you help {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(you) learn a new language, such as English? The ways {#blank#}2{#/blank#} can solve the difficulty of learning English and make it a little easier and more interesting are following.

    The first step is to feel positive about learning English. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you believe that you can learn and you are thirsty for it, you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is common that mistakes are made when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. So don't be afraid {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) mistakes in public.

    The second step is to practice your English. For example, write {#blank#}5{#/blank#} diary every day. You will get used to writing in English, and you will feel good expressing your ideas in English. Several weeks later, you will see that your writing is improving. What's more, you must speak English every day. Gradually you will become {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(comfort) communicating in English.

    The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (correct)? Did you pay attention to what the teacher {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(say)? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these all the notes down and try to do {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good) next time.

    Hope all the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(suggest) will be helpful to you, you will enjoy learning English, and you will feel more confident.
