I am fond of wild animals, which existence makes our world lively and colorfully. However, many wild animals in nature are in the danger. It is believed that human beings mainly lead the terrible problem. Thanks to many governments’ and organizations’ efforts, much attention from the world are paid to the protection of wild animals. As a member of human beings, I am sure willing to protect the wildlife. So far, I had launched two activities to show the public the great achievements make in the protection of the wildlife. Many of my classmates have joined myself. I hope that more people can participate in the activity to advertise the importances and benefits of environment protection.

3 . We often hear people say, “I'm afraid I'm too old to learn it well”. Well, I've recently discovered that it's _________.

For years my husband has __________ that he couldn't play a musical instrument because of being too ______, He recently found himself with a little time on his hands and I __________ that the moment should be right to try piano lessons. Initially, he was __________. He couldn't imagine that he, who is almost 70, could actually learn how to play a musical instrument, but I _________. I guessed my gentle nagging (唠叨) __________. He mentioned it to his friend who took __________ into his own hands, renting us a piano and __________ for a teacher.

Now I can hear my husband practicing the piano in every spare moment. Although he can't play well at the beginning, there is something that bears a little __________ to music that is wafting (飘荡) through our house after his efforts. His attention is __________ absorbed by it and I move quietly through the house, unwilling to __________. I'm happy for him that it gives him so much pleasure but sometimes I __________ that too much of his time and attention is __________ by the piano. My husband can now play several pieces of music, and that's quite a (n) _______to him.

I'm happy for my husband that he's finally taking his __________ piano lessons after so many years while my five-year-old granddaughter is taking them as well. It's a (n) __________ of pleasure to him. I'm also happy to be______of a man's constant potential for learning. This is a world of opportunities and it’s a reassuring (令人放心的) reminder that those opportunities don’t necessarily __________ with age. In some cases, they may even increase! So we should never _________ our dreams or feel that we are “too old”.

4 . Anyone in the world, big or small, fat or thin, black or white, can feel somewhat inferior (自卑的) to someone else at times during their lives.     1     But these comments are in no way based on facts. Luckily, there are lots of simple steps you can take to overcome the feeling of inferiority.

Stop wanting to be like others. Inferiority is rooted in the desire to be just like someone else. If you try to be someone else, you aren’t being true to yourself.     2     That means you take some of their traits and put them into yourself. But the important difference is that you are still you.

Try not to worry about what others think. Inferiority arises from your constant concern about what others think about you. You often find problems with yourselves based on if others find you good enough. This isn’t healthy thinking.    3     It is only your own opinions that matter.

    4     People with inferiority spend too much time on that. If you do that, you will come up with a never-ending list of ways people are better than you. However, it’s not fair because everything about your life and circumstances are different — from the family you were born in, to your genetics, to your opportunities.

Build self-confidence. As you work through your inferiority, you need to start building self-confidence. Start by fixing your mental image of yourself. Inferiority is based on false ideas about oneself. Try to remind yourself that this image is false and doesn’t reflect the reality. Remove labels you have attached to yourself. Don’t think of yourself as a stupid, ugly, unsuccessful man, a failure, or anything else.     5    

5 . We all dream of reaching a certain success someday. Because of this we all are afraid of the very same thing- failure. But we should understand that we all have to experience some sort of failure in our lives. It is part of growing up and it is part of life itself. Failure doesn't have to always be seen as something negative. When you get to see failure in a different perspective, you will see that it has the power to help you get to your goal.

Don't be so hard on yourself whenever you make a mistake or fail a task. Everyone makes mistakes. Whenever you face one failure, remember to accept your fault and do something to make things right. Whenever you fail something, you just have to get up and keep trying. You will get to your goal eventually.

Every mistake is a lesson you have to learn from. As the saying goes, “If you do something wrong for the first time, it is a mistake. But if it happens again, then it becomes a choice.” Your mistakes and failure make you wiser.

You should be smart enough to know and avoid the causes that lead you to them once more. No dream or goal is ever easy. With every great success, there are some failures along the way that lead to something great. Don't give up and don't be afraid to make mistakes. It is all part of the game of life.

Life is not a bed of roses. The journey to success will have its ups and downs and have its share of joy and suffering. You will encounter failure once in a while. But pain is part of the learning process. Failures and mistakes are experiences that will make you wiser and stronger as you climb the ladder of success.

7 . National Poetry Month is to bring about awareness and appreciation of poetry. Some of the goals include reading poems, writing poems and helping teachers bring poetry into the classroom. Here are some activities in National Poetry Month.

We’ve come up with some fun exercises to get you into the spirit of creative expression. You can recite poetry to a pet by changing the sound or speaking loudly and clearly enough to communicate without explanations. Doing this can not only help strengthen public speaking ability but also deepen your understanding of a particular piece.

Do you ever notice how beautiful the nature is? There are so many wonderful poems which have been inspired by the seasons, celebrating the beauty of a snowflake or the spring sunshine awakening the plants and animals. Why not become a poet yourself and share the beauty you saw in the nature with others?

Many poets find it hard to share their words because what they write about are personal subjects. But not all poetry is about emotions. Poetry is a living force that can be very powerful when it is shown both as a performance and as words on social media.

We take pleasure in reading or hearing something that reflects what is in our minds or in our hearts. We experience relief if it expresses feelings we’ve kept bottled up. Similarly, reciting a poem to yourself or to someone else can be very rewarding. Sometimes it’s easier to say how we feel with someone else’s words than our own, especially if they’re put together beautifully.
