My family lived in a big city, and we had no garden, but I often {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go, went) to a small park near my home. There {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (are, were) a lot of trees in the park.

It is one of the most famous books in the world; yet it has no story and no interesting characters, no exciting beginning and no satisfying ending. And yet it keeps being printed-and it keeps growing!

It began in 1857 as just an idea of a group of people who thought the world needed one to show the history of English words from 1150 CE to the present. It wasn't until the late 1870s, however, when James Murray joined the project that it began to grow. He planned one of about 6,400 pages in four volumes(卷),completed in 10 years. He did most of his work in a small building where he and his workmates collected millions of pieces of paper, each one with a word and an example sentence written on it. Murray and his workmates worked hard, but after five years they had only reached the word ant! It was until 1928 that it was completed and came out. Unluckily, Murray did not live to see the completion of his life's work; he passed away in 1915. As soon as it came out, people started to update it. In 1933, it became 12 volumes. Between 1972 and 1986, four more volumes were added. In 2020 it was reprinted in 20 volumes. Three years later, all the volumes were put onto CD-ROM, and it can be bought online at present.

It not only is a record of where the English language has come from but also become an important part of the history of English-speaking cultures around the world.

A: Hey, Daming. Did you watch the basketball match between China and Japan yesterday?

B:{#blank#}1{#/blank#} It was exciting!

A: What was the score?

B:73 to 71.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

A: It was great. It was a pity that I missed it.

B: You look tired.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

A: My brother hurt his knee yesterday so I had to stay in the hospital with him.

B:{#blank#}4{#/blank#} How's your brother now?

A: He went home today, but he still needs to stay in bed.

B:{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Chinese is getting mare and more popular, so the UK government plans to invest（投资） 10 million pounds to help more kids lean Chinese Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Chinese? 

Seneca （Canada）

I studied French for 2 years in high school, and German for 4 years in college and got good marks. I studied Chinese for about 4 months before moving to China. For any language, if you don't use it, it will be easy to lose it I've forgotten the French l leaned except for a few phrases. I speak Chinese every day. My writing, reading and listening are quite good, but far from fluent. I think it's necessary to learn Chinese. 

Tony（the UK）

Learning any language can be valuable, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn, and teachers in the UK are not good at teaching foreign languages. However, China is a big and developing market for English businesspeople. For them, Chinese is worth learning. 

Bill（the US）

I don't think Chinese will replace（取代）English. Chinese is difficult to learn. To learn Chinese, you have to learn how to write and read it carefully. In the future, Chinese will become more popular, so I think learning Chinese is a good thing.
