“Those are wise words, Nerissa, ” Portia told her.
"Wise words are not much good if nobody takes any notice, " replied Nerissa. “That’s true, ” agreed Portia, “but if it were as easy to do something as it is to say it, then poor people would live in palaces. I can easily teach twenty people what to do, but it is much more difficult to be one of the twenty people that follow my own teaching!”
Portia was unhappy because she wanted a husband, but her father’s will (遗嘱) stopped her from choosing one that she liked. At the same time, it stopped her from refusing one that she did not like.

Her third suitor was a French Lord (贵族) . Portia did not like him because he did not have his own way of thinking. He tried to be just like every person he met. She thought it would be like having twenty husbands, and she couldn’t love him at all.

Dear Mike,
I’d like to give you some advice about the color of your bedroom.
Among all the colors, I think blue is the most suitable. Here are the reasons. First, blue is a color for boys. As far as I know, most boys prefer the color blue. Second, blue is a calm color. It can bring peace to our mind and body. The bedroom is a place for people to have a rest, so painting it blue is certainly a great idea. Third, blue reminds people of the sky and the sea. So it may make your room look larger. Other colors like light green and white are also good choices, since green can make you energetic and white can make you feel comfortable.
I hope my advice is helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
