A bold boy     1     (满脑子充满了各种各样的鬼把戏). He often     2     (骗他的同学做各种各样的事情). Besides,     3     (他脾气暴躁). He was burning all his classmates up. Later, when criticized by his head teacher severely, the boy chewed on his lip, lowered his head and shed tears of shame.     4     (从那时起，男孩变得谦逊了).

My love for Chinese can     1     (追溯到) my childhood when I visited an exhibition about Chinese     2     (文明) and Chinese calligraphy. Since then I have been     3     (爱上) Chinese. To     4     (领会) Chinese culture much better, I am now in China studying in Peking University and my     5     (专业) is Chinese literature.     6     (在……的开始) the first semester, it was really a     7     (难事) for me to understand what the     8     (本地的) speakers of Chinese said. However, I would     9    (决不) give up and     10     (看待) it as a chance to explore the writing     11     (系统)．

    12     (尽管) the fact that there are     13     (各种各样) dialects and     14     (符号) in Chinese, I have been     15     (努力) to learn it.     16     (无论何时) I come across a new character, I always     17     (查阅) the dictionary.     18     (无论哪里) I go, I try to communicate with the local Chinese people and     19     (联系) them. Gradually, the harder I work, the larger my     20     (词汇) will become and the more classic works I will be equal to reading.

From my     21     (观点), though there may be some     22     (浮沉) in learning a foreign language, one needs to take a positive     23     (态度) to it. Besides, set a     24     (明确的) aim and work hard, and one day you will surely make it.

I used to be a lazy student who often fell asleep in class. Worse still, I associated with bad friends. As a result, I was     1    (落后的) in my studies. It was not until the beginning of the new term that I     2    (开始) to behave well because my English teacher, Miss Yang, a beautiful and attractive lady, kept encouraging me not to give up studying. Under her influence, I was aware of my mistakes and decided to change my     3    (态度) entirely. Every day I     4    (上学) school on time and pay attention to my teachers in class. To     5    (避免) making the same mistakes, I usually attach a note to my desk as a reminder. Knowing that my studies are     6    (糟糕的), I want to improve it badly by making an effort. First, I     7    (醒来) early in the morning to do some reading aloud and attempt to learn the basic knowledge by heart. Also, my teachers are ready to assist me with my studies. With their help, it is not long before I make progress and catch up with my classmates. Not long ago, I participated in an Spoken English Contest on     8    (代表) of my class and I held the firm belief that I would     9    (打败) the other competitors. What astonished everybody was that I attained the championship and was     10    (授予) a gold medal. Now, not only do I go all out to study but I often exercise because only in this way can I keep the balance between study and relaxation.
