When I left for the United States to study. I had butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous because I was going to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} new place with new people and new customs. I couldn't even understand {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they)language. Everything was different {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my own country. There was nobody that I could talk to. I just had my husband, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was a new person for me, too.

    It was a sad moment when I had to say goodbye to my family and friends. I didn't want {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(leave)my hometown because I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(grow) up there and had wonderful {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(memory) of the place. So, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think)about all these changes made me nervous and I was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(worry)about my new life. But studying abroad was a decision that I made myself. I had to continue and accept the challenge. I looked forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(visit)my family in the summer vacation.

    Litter is everywhere, doing great harm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the environment and life on our planet. Jeff Kirschner, who wants to build a litter-free world, started a global community named Litterati {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  (settle)this problem.

    The story began with his 6-year-old daughter. One day they were going on a hike when the girl noticed a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (break)plastic tub(浴盆)in a river. She said, “Daddy, that doesn't go there.” That took Kirschner by surprise. He, like many adults, had become so used to the rubbish around them that he hadn't given it a second look.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} his daughter said reminded him of the serious problem our planet faces.

    Jeff started to take {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(act).He created Litterati, an app that makes it fun to pick up litter. The idea is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fair) simple: Spot a piece of trash, take a photo, post the photo online and then put the litter into dustbins.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see)that Jeff was keeping a record of the positive impact he was having on the planet, people worldwide started participating. Up to now, over 2, 500, 000 photos posted by 3,500 people from over 40 countries {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (find)their way to Litterati's digital landfill.

    Litterati is more than an app. It is a highly {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (effect)solution to a pressing issue. Wherever you live, whatever you do and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you are, join Litterati to make the world a cleaner and healthier place to live in.

    Nowadays, English is widely spoken all over the world. Actually, English has changed and developed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} time. At first, the English {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(speak) in England between AD 450 and 1150 was quite different from the English spoken today, which was based more {#blank#}3{#/blank#} German than English we speak now. Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(settle) enriched English and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600's Shakespeare used a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(wide) vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America, later they moved to Australia too. English began {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(speak) in both countries. Finally, the language was settled by the 19th century. English now is spoken {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a foreign or second language in India, Singapore, Malaysia and so on. Today the number of people learning English in China {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) increasing rapidly. Will Chinese English develop {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(it) own identity? Only time will tell.
