Su Shi, known as Su Dongpo, was a famous Chinese writer, poet and painter.

When he was young, he read a lot of books and wrote many good articles. People thought {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (high) of him. Because of this, he became very proud and wrote a couplet (对联) for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (him).

Knowing all the words in the world;

Reading all the books on the earth.

A wise old man saw this couplet and thought, "It is necessary for Su Shi {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (learn) how to be modest." So, one day, he came to Su Shi's house with a book.

The old man showed Su Shi the book and explained, "So far, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (read) the book several times, but there are still some difficult words that I can't understand. I have asked many people, but none of them could understand their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (meaning). I have heard that you are a person of rich knowledge, so I come to ask you."

Full of confidence, Su Shi took the book from the old {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (man) hand, but when he opened it, he became very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (surprise) because there were many words he didn't know. At that moment, Su Shi realized that there were many more things that he had to learn.

Actually, the old man knew every word in this book. He just wanted to make Su Shi know the importance of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) modest. Su Shi was embarrassed (尴尬的) and said, "Now I know why you came. I shouldn't have been so arrogant (自大的)."

The old man smiled and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (leave). Then Su Shi quickly took his brush and ink, and added some words to the couplet:

Working hard to know all the words in the world;

Being determined to read all the books on the earth.

 From then on, he worked even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hard) than before. Finally, Su Shi made great achievements in many fields, especially in literature.

Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner? Here is some of the most {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) advice from studies.

*Don't be afraid- of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners don't worry about making mistakes. {#blank#}2{#/blank#},they learn from them.

* Do group activities. People use the language {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (communicate) with others. A good language learner always {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (look) for opportunities to talk with others.

* {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(take) notes every day.Write down just five to ten new words and phrases each day. Review {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) from time to time.

* Practice {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (speak) daily. Speak to real people, if possible. 'They can be your teachers or friends. But if you have nobody to speak to, you can watch films and repeat what the actors say.

* Spend some time {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think) in the language you learn. A good first step is to think in words.Try to name each object around you.Then think in simple sentences. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}example, if you are sitting in a park, you can say, "It's such a beautiful day." Then you can move to think in conversations.Imagine yourself {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (talk) to someone else. You are asking the questions and thinking of replies(回答). The secret to developing a habit of thinking in the language is doing it every day, over and over again.

I was looking through my old photos last Sunday. One photo{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(catch) my eye. In the photo, I was sitting in a chair, hugging Duke, my best friend in the whole world.

Duke was an interesting name for such{#blank#}2{#/blank#}little dog. But he was my friend from the moment I could walk. He stayed with me in that chair when I read{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(book). When I went outside{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(play) games, he would drive our cats up to the trees and then walk off feeling proud of{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(him). When he was hungry, he would carry his food dish in his mouth and drop{#blank#}6{#/blank#}at my mom's feet. When I was sick, he refused to leave my bed until I got{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(well) than before.

I learned a lot from Duke. I learned that a short sleep at noon could be good{#blank#}8{#/blank#}you. I learned that simplest dinner can be delicious{#blank#}9{#/blank#}you eat it with great enjoyment. I learned that life can be good when you live it with love and joy.   {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sad), I also learned that life is short, especially if you are a dog.

To me, Duke is like a teacher who has taught me how to love and to be loved.
