It was astonishing that he was chosen this time and he was inspired with great determination by this opportunity.话题19 肢体语言Yesterday, while walking on the street, Kate didn’t speak to me, nor did I. This was because her personality was similar to mine and it was not that I did something wrong but that she was in a bad mood. I tried to move close to Kate later, but she turned her back to me. It was likely that she was angry with me, which made me feel not at ease. Still I didn’t care and decided to defend her at any time.话题20 主题公园Last week, my friend and I took a tour at a village in our neighboring county.

Though difficult, I am quite familiar with rhyming words that make up a poem. In my daily life when I am free I often try out writing some poems and then transform them into English and recite them, from which I can learn a great many interesting and flexible words and expressions. To my sorrow, sometimes I run out of all my words and nothing can be written by me. But I just take it easy. Though some poems are difficult to translate, others are easy.

On the whole, I am strongly opposed and can’t putup with the behavior of this kind, for we have to realize that the earth is facing global warming because of pollution. On behalf of those who take good care of the environment, I would like to say we can create a beautiful environment as long as we can behave ourselves. There is no doubt that everyone can start from themselves to protect the earth.话题30 个人感情Dong Xuemei, an honorable soldier who once appointed as the captain of the school basketball team in college, has been a policewoman since she graduated from college in 1998.

Thus, I hesitated, wandering what if he was a liar, but he added that a man passed himself off as a friend of his and robbed him of all his money, which condemned him to this point.
