The bank of England has made plans to introduce plastic banknotes to the UK.

      Paper notes, meaning pieces of paper money, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(use) in England for more than 300 years, but replacing them with plastic ones could be better.

      Plastic notes were{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(one) introduced to Australia back in 1988. Since then , other countries, including Romania, Mexico and Malaysia, have also begun using money{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) in this way.

      Fans of water sports find this type of money more useful and easier, as they can take it with them in the water and won't worry that it will fall apart. It is also good for people{#blank#}4{#/blank#}by mistake put clothes in the washing machine{#blank#}5{#/blank#}a note in the pocket.

      It is more hygienic(卫生的) than paper money as it absorbs {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(little) bacteria(细菌). And it is stronger, too. According to a survey, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}usual 5 note in the UK lasts around six months, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the $5 Australian bill lasts for an average of 40 months.

      A downside of plastic cash is that it costs more money{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(produce). Cash and money-counting machine will also have to be adapted to accept the new money.

      It is expected that the Bank of England, who started printing plastic notes from 2015, will  introduce the money {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(slow), using the most common notes first.

    We always remind ourselves that life will be better after we graduate. Then, we are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (worry) that we may not get a good job. After getting a job, we are wondering {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we can finish all the work well or not. We think we will certainly be happy when all the problems are dealt with.

    We always imagine living a perfect life after we get a nice car and are able to go on a vacation after we retire. But the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (true) is that there is no better time than right now. Our life will always be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fill) with challenges. New problems will appear again after we solve the old {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . Never doubt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (oneself) when problems come up and it's certain that you can finally manage to get over all the difficulties. It's necessary to realize this and try to be happy every day.

    One of my favorite quotes(引述) from Alfred Souza is that "For a long time it seemed to me that a new and happy life was about to begin. But there were always some difficulties and challenges along the way, something to be dealt with first, some unfinished work, a bill to be paid. Then life would begin. At last I came to understand that these difficulties are just my life."

    This view makes a great difference {#blank#}7{#/blank#} me. It gives me courage to face all the difficulties in an active way instead of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) away from them. It also helps me know that there is no way to happiness. So value every moment that you have now.

    And always remember time waits for no one. You can never afford to waste your time waiting for a better life to come {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the present time is the best. So stop waiting {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you graduate, you get married, you have kids and you get a new car. Enjoy your life now!
