I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (terrible) shy I was with so many eyes {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(fix) upon me. I had no {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(choose) but to prepare for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lie) in my oral presentation from my memory— for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Otherwise, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(run) away from them. Gradually I found myself back, delivering my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding— I made {#blank#}7{#/blank#}! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(confident) building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way {#blank#}9{#/blank#} success is our fear. Overcome it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} we will be able to achieve our goals.

    When I was in the middle school, I founded a student club{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name) "green planet" inspired by Chai Jing's documentary Under the Dome. At first people knew this club. As a result, we had only 15 members. And I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (laugh) at for being crazy. However, I didn't lose heart and I insisted. Every day, we club y members broadcast weather reports and PM 2.5 levels. We then published articles and pictures of the serious {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pollute) of the city on the school website. Meanwhile, my club also shares suggestions {#blank#}4{#/blank#} how to live a low carbon life on the school board, for example: take public transportation or car pool to school; do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (little) shopping and so on.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} time went by, more are what students showed great interest in our club. And luckily, I persuaded my headmaster to join us. After what seemed ages of waiting, the club was finally accepted by the majority of students in my school. An increasing number of students supported {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (ours).

    Since then, we're worked together {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (promote) our club. And up to now, 85% of the students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (join) us and enjoyed the simple but eco-friendly life.

Such is Joy, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} responsible and persistent girl.

    Robot teachers are now very popular with pupils in some primary schools in South Korea. Compared with human teachers, the robot teachers are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (patient). They never get angry and are always kind to the students. That's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the children can always get on well with their robot teachers.

    English-teaching robots {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (send) to three primary schools for eight weeks last December. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (equip) with a microphone and video camera, the robots teach students as teachers. Researchers found that the English-teaching robots helped raise students' interests in the language and build up their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (confident). More and more students came to like studying and they got better grades in exams. Meanwhile, other robot teachers, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} can teach math, science and art, have also been developed.

    Many people think these robot teachers should be used {#blank#}7{#/blank#} faraway village schools so that the children there can also receive a good education. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (give) rural school children more learning chances, the South Korean government has expressed great interest in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (develop) these robots. No doubt there will be more and more robot teachers working with students. Perhaps they will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (complete) replace human teachers one day in the future. Who knows?
