   Clark and Dale were staying in the same room in a hospital. Clark was so sick that he could not even move his body. He had to spend all his time lying on his back. Dale could sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the room’s only window.

   Over time, Clark and Dale became good friends. Every afternoon, Dale would look out of the room’s only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told Clark about the flowers in a park outside the window, the people walking by, the green trees beside roads—anything that might interest a man.

   One morning, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she found that Dale had died in his sleep. As soon as the room seemed tidy again, Clark asked if he could move to the bed next to the window so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurse agreed. Slowly, he could take his first look at the world outside. To his surprise, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building.

   The nurse explained that Dale had been blind. He had never seen anything outside the window at all—but he described beautiful scenes to help his friend feel better.

   On April 19^th, a pottery(陶器)exhibition was held at Wuhan Optical Vallery Experimental School. Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at school. Some were a bit broken, but all of them were beautiful works of art created by the students.

   At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside. So far, they have collected about 3,000 pieces.

They can better understand the history of the pottery, put their creativity into the pottery and show the love for life and beauty.”

Students turned the pottery into different works of art. They were all encouraged to paint pictures on the pottery, even though some students didn’t know how to paint. In March, the school held a pottery painting competition. Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Eight, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful night scenery on a piece of pottery. It was so nice that many students loved it.

   Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery .They are either used as flowerpots or pen containers (笔筒). The school has also set up several art corners to show the pottery. For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall(报告厅). It has become an enjoyable place for students to rest and read.

If you’re familiar with the story of the hare and the tortoise, you know that the tortoise proved that perseverance is much more important than speed.  16 , but fewer people have the patience and perseverance of the tortoise. Here are some tips that can help you to improve your perseverance.

● Make a list of the rewards related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.

When you want to lose 40 pounds, it may seem like a difficult goal.  19 . You can lower your blood sugar or fit into your favorite pair of jeans. Keep those rewards in mind to encourage yourself to stick to your diet and exercise program.

书面表达

Dear John,

      I’m sorry that you have trouble in learning English at your new school. However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. Here are some tips to help you.

     First of all, why not turn to your teacher for help? Generally speaking, teachers are always willing to help students and have rich experience. In addition, you should form a good learning habit. For example, you’d better read English for an hour every morning. Taking notes in class is also necessary, which will help you review what you have learned. Last but not least, it would be a good idea if you listen to English songs and see English movies in your spare time. By doing this, you can improve your listening skills.

      Above all, have confidence in learning English well. I hope you will find these ideas useful.

                                                                Yours,

                                                                Li Hua
