Dear Fang,

How are you these days? I have been in England for two months. It’s not a long time for a newcomer, and there are still a lot of things to do. Sorry for not being able to write to you soon.

London is an old but beautiful city. There are lots of places of interest to visit. Last weekend I went along Thames River with some friends from Japan, Korea and some other countries. The modern skyscrapers(摩天大樓) among the old buildings impressed(給…留下印象) us deeply. The classes started two weeks after I arrived here alone. Besides the language, I’m trying to learn about the culture as well. British people are quite different from the Chinese. Do you know the people here do not shake hands as much as we do in China? And it’s never a good habit to make noise when you eat. They think it’s impolite.

There is so much to say, but I have to stop.

I will write to you soon again.

Love,

Harry

You’re standing with your classmates. E  1.   is talking except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at when you say. Maybe you just aren’t b  2.  enough to speak.

Shyness is like a snake that crawls（爬進(jìn)）into our mouth and s  3.   us speaking. But we shouldn’t let it stay there.

I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes v 4. me. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the

w  5.   to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a j  6.   in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers（顧客）. I had to tell them how m  7. 

their meal cost. I had to ask them if they want to drink Coke or Sprite.

This job taught me how to speak with people.

You may be too young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other c  8.   to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. O  9.  you can go to get a newspaper for your family.

If you do these things for a while, the ‘shyness’ snake will soon begin to l  10.   you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.

He was driving home one evening when he saw an old lady standing by the road. He could tell she needed help. So he stopped his car in front of her car and got out.

He smiled at her, but she was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He looked poor and hungry.

He said: “I’m here to help you ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car? By the way ,my name is Joe.”

She had a flat tire（輪胎癟了）. Joe crawled under the car and soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. She said that she couldn’t thank him enough for his help. Joe just smiled as he closed her trunk（后備箱）.

She asked him how much she owed（欠）him. But Joe wasn’t thinking about the money. This was helping someone in need. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she should lend a hand.

After the lady had finished her meal, and the waitress had gone to get her change（零錢）from a ￥100 bill, the lady slipped（溜）out the door. At her table, the waitress found something written on a napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady had written. It said: “You don’t owe me a thing. I know life is hard for you right now. Someone once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, don’t let the chain（鏈）of love end with you.”
