I have received your letter and I am glad to give you some     1     (suggestion). First of all, don’t be     2     (disappoint). English is more or less difficult. Many students find     3     hard to write well.     4    my opinion, if you want to improve your writing, you can do     5     following things.

First, do some study with useful expressions and sentence structures.    6    (try) to make some sentences with them. Second, read as much as possible. There are many things     7     can’t be learned at a time. You must see them many times. So in order     8     (write) well, you must learn to read much.     9     (final), you’d better recite some good passages.

By the way, a meeting     10     (hold) next week in our class to discuss the problems. Welcome to it!

Good luck!

Yours,

Li Hua

When someone has     1    (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly     2    (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far research     3    (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive who     4    (little) anger and more hopefulness,” say Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness and allow people     5    (feel) more energetic.”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something     6     gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an     7    (apologize). “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of apologizing,” says Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in     8     same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting for a very long time.”

Next, keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean     9    (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(角度). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. It may be comfortable for you to write a letter to     10    (you) from that person’s point of view.

I have some good news and some bad news. First, the bad news: Just     1     (have) good grades may not be sufficient to get you your high school diploma. That's because, as of last year, students are required to complete 90 days of practical training and 60 hours of volunteering in order to graduate. Now, the good news: the new requirements are going to give you a head start in coping with the real world     2    your school days are over.

The Ministry of Education made the changes because it     3    (want) students to break out of their cocoons(茧). The ministry feels there are valuable and necessary lessons     4     (learn) outside of the classroom - lessons such as the responsibilities required in a workplace and, by volunteering, the responsibilities required of a good citizen.

The ministry's changes, however,     5     be somewhat problematic. Students are busy with school work, so where will they find the time?     6     many organizations need volunteers on weekends and you can easily meet that part of the requirement, finding a place to do your practical training will be more difficult. It will probably have to be done during vacations.

Many Western companies offer internships（实习机会）and summer jobs to high school students. They see     7     as part of their corporate responsibility and it's also a good way for them to identify potential employees. Chinese companies, however, offer fewer internships and summer jobs, and their programs are not well-developed. Students may just end up sitting around all day.     8     (bad) yet, there are some companies which do hire students but just to exploit their labor. There are stories of vocational school students who, as part of their practical training,     9    (send)to factories where they assemble computer parts. They spend long hours on an assembly line and are paid low wages. Not much to learn there     10     how to be tired, bored and broke.

Hopefully, your practical experience will be better and you will learn useful lessons. The most important of which is, as one businessman said, "In the workplace, you have to get an A-plus all the time -- being "just good enough" just isn't good enough".

Not only does work benefit us personally, it also contributes to the health of society. At     1     most basic level, different types of jobs are like gears in a machine. They work to ensure that the machine we call “society”     2     (function) properly. In a successful, stable and     3     (produce) society, all jobs are equally important and no one is superior to another, so we should not have prejudice     4     any of them.     5     we are scientists, lawyers, doctors, public servants,     6     (consult), clerks, receptionists or butchers, we all make our respective contributions. Moreover, there are people     7     choose to step out of their comfort zone and commit themselves to working for the benefit of others. For example, teachers in remote rural areas are devoted to     8     (change) the lives of the people with     9     (few) access to the advantages enjoyed by many others. In this way, we work     10     (advance) our communities and bring success to our nation.

Management books have a     1     poor reputation. Too often they are written by people who confuse insight with technical terms, the types who love to call a spade a "manual horticultural utensil". At the other end of the     2     are thick books containing a wealth of conventional wisdom and clichés(陈词滥调).

So it was a joy to read "It Doesn't Have to be Crazy at Work", by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, who run a software company in Chicago called Basecamp. The authors argue that it is perfectly possible to run a business with consistently growing profits (as they do) without requiring employees to work madly long hours. Sleep-    3     managers are likely to be counter-productively impatient.

Basecamp employees have a 40-hour week, except in the summer when the company runs a four-day, 32-hour week. They also get three weeks' holiday every year and a monthly massage at a spa.

Meetings are avoided, especially those     4     lots of people. The firm encourages JOMO, the "joy of missing out", so employees can concentrate on their own work projects. Another way to reduce stress is to avoid turning deadlines into "dreadlines"—unrealistic targets for project     5     accompanied by ever-changing requirements.

"Goals are     6    ," the authors write. In their telling, made-up numbers function as a source of unnecessary stress until they are either achieved or abandoned. Nor should workers     7     that their colleagues deal with a problem straight away. In almost every situation, the expectation of an immediate response is unrealistic. Allowing workers more time means they can come up with a more     8     and helpful decision.

The overall aim of the firm should be stated in     9     terms. Too many businesses talk about "changing the world" and becoming a "disrupter". Such aims are far too grand and put everyone under too much pressure.

A relaxed working philosophy in the office might work better in the long run than the hard-charging     10     that, at the moment, is all too common.
