It is customary for s to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don"t believe that, watch an illiterate try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts.
My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. They did not tell; they catalyzed a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. But most important of all, the truth, that erous stuff, became beautiful and very precious.
I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.
She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn"t even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.
I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fif years of drudgery that somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years if he is very lucky.A. I appreciate your helping me.
B. Now that you"ve asked me, I think it"s too short.
C. If I were you, I"d write about my education first.
D. If you don"t think it"s any good, please say so.
E. I"d better tear up the letter and start all over again.
F. But, unless I miss my guess, you should say something about your family, too.
G. Just make a few changes, I think, and it will be perfect.
H. You are welcome.
A: Jack, would you please read the letter of application I"ve just written. 1 I really want to get the job.
B: It looks fine to me. But I have one suggestion.
A: Good! I"m interested in your advice.
B: 2 You"d better include more information about your work experience.
A: Good idea, Jack. What do you think about the second part
B: 3
A: You"re right. I"ll change it. How do you feel about the last part of the letter
B: Very good. 4
A: I agree. 5 Do you think the end is all right
B: Oh, yes, George. But personally I believe a business letter should end with "Very truly yours", not "Sincerely".
A: Thank you very much, Jack.It is customary for s to forget how hard and dull and long school is.

Even the st meal will be received with enthusiasm if the table accessories are creative and colorful. No matter what type of dinnerware you own, you can enhance its beauty with a variety of attractive table linens.
When selecting a supply of tablecloths, place mats and napkins, choose easy-care or permanentpress fabrics because these fabrics will reduce your workload when washday rolls around. Another consideration is the suitability of your linens for your dining style or the types of entertaining you do. The shape of your table will also dictate the kind of tablecloth you purchase. Circular or rounded tables look best covered with round or oval tablecloths. Square-cornered tables require squares or rectangles.
Finally, your table linens should complement your dinnerware. An elegant table setting requires an elegant tablecloth. A setting of stoneware looks best with heavy of colorful fabrics.
But sure to take all the necessary measurements before you start shopping for fabric of your choice. It could be embarrassing if your tablecloths are not tong enough to cover the tables. It is equally distressing if your tablecloth is so long that your guests have to watch where they walk."Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
"Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It"s cool. " You may think, "He"s so cool," when you see your favorite football player.
We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here"s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the watell (瀑布) they had visited. On one student"s paper was just the one sentence, "It"s so cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool" I can. And I think they are also very cool.Table top magic requires no secret formula.
