Do You Want to Be a Writer?

Here are some tips on becoming a writer.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Most writers read whatever books they can find because they love to lose themselves in them. They like the sounds of language and the way that reading a good description can feel as satisfying as a baseball game or eating a banana split.

It's easy to forget a good idea if you do not write it down immediately. If you get in the habit of carrying a notebook with you everywhere you go, you can write down anything you want to remember. When you are talking to friends in the cafe or waiting for the bus, something might spark an idea for a character or scene in a story.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Nearly all writers agree that writers must write. It doesn't matter if you feel like you have nothing to say; the important thing is that you write every single day. Sometimes, you need to give yourself permission to write things which won't be your best work.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Do you have any friends who enjoy writing? Think about starting a writing group with other people who have similar interests. It helps to have the support of other writers. You will also receive valuable feedback, or suggestions, about how to make you work better.

If you decide that you would like to send your work for publication, make sure to do your research. If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old ones. Does it seem like your writing fits in with the other stories or articles? That's the homework for you after writing.

Do you believe that we can have an important influence on anyone we meet？The right words at just the right time could1 someone's life. 

When I was 3 years old，my parents found I was2 . After asking many doctors and parents of other deaf children，they decided not to put me in a special school. Although I seemed outgoing（外向的）my self﹣esteem（自尊心）was quite low. On my first day at school，the other kids3 me because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. I was hurt deeply and I saw myself as a（n）4 kid. 

Mrs. Green，my5 ，changed all of that with a simple three﹣word phrase. One morning，she asked the class a question. Sitting at my desk silently，I6 her tips（哦唇） and raised my hand right away. She called on me in front of the blackboard. I took a deep breath and7 answered Mrs. Green's question. 

I will8 forget what happened next. Mrs. Green pointed directly at me. With sparkling（闪光的）eye sand a big smile she cried： "That's right，Ben!"

For the first time in my young life，my confidence rose. At that moment，I decided that no matter how many9 I may face，I can overcome（克服）them. Thanks to those three10 words，my whole life changed from that moment. 

With a history of more than 1，800 years,dumplings are a traditional Chinese food. They are also a must for Chinese New Year. They are popular in China,especially in north China. Even some foreigners are interested in1 them. 

Chinese dumplings2 be made to look like ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots (银锭). It's said that the more dumplings you eat3 Chinese New Year, 4 money you can make in the coming year. 

People usually put minced meat (绞碎的肉) and vegetables in thin round dough skins (面皮) to make dumplings. Popular fillings are minced pork,fish,chicken,beef,and vegetables. People cook5 in different ways. 

Some people believe 6 people shouldn't eat sauerkraut (酸泡菜) dumplings during Chinese New Year. Because it means7 poor and difficult future. People like8 Chinese cabbage dumplings because it means one9 a lot of fortunes in the future. 

When making dumplings,there should10 a good number of pleats (褶) so that they will bring wealth. Sometimes a coin is put in dumplings,and the one who eats it is supposed to become wealthy.
