Before arriving in China, I had read lots of books about China. Therefore, when I arrived, I was excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. It was so greatly different from the UK. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life——I couldn’t wait to explore.
However, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind, not because I was lazy, but because I had no confidence to learn the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, once I moved to China. I lived in Shanghai. It is an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language. So I thought English would be sufficient.
But after a year in China I found many expats（侨民）spoke Chinese. Perhaps it was achievable after all I felt uncomfortable because so many Chinese people could speak English while I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. To face the challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.
In the two years since starting to learn I have made great progress. Now, I am able to talk in Chinese on many topics. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as difficult as I once expected. When I speak to Chinese people in Chinese they almost always understand me. The most challenging thing is listening since Chinese people talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what's been said, but my weekly online language exchanges help with this. Learning Chinese has taken a lot of hard work. But there is still a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency（流利）. Learning Chinese not only helps me in day-to-day life, but deepens（加深）my cultural understanding of such a great country. So, to all my non—Chinese friends I say this, don’t be afraid, face the challenge and be confident.
33．What did the writer do after arriving in China

Once there was a famine (饥荒). A rich cook sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town and said to them, “In this basket, there is a piece of bread for each of you. Take it and come back to me every day at this hour for more.”
In a hurry, the hungry children got together around the basket, and fought over the bread because each wanted the largest piece. At last, they went away without even thanking the good cook.

When the badly behaved children had left, Mary took the smallest piece, which was all left in the basket. She kissed the cook’s hand and went home.
The next day, the children were as badly-behaved as before. Mary got a piece of bread almost half the size of the one she got the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new, shining pieces of silver fell out of it.
Her mother was very worried, and said, “Take the money back to the cook at once. The silver must have fallen into the dough (面团) by accident. Hurry up, Mary.”
When the little girl gave the rich man her mother’s message, he said, “It was no mistake. I had the silver pieces put into the smallest bread for you as a prize. Always be as satisfied, peaceable and thankful as you now are. Go home now, and tell your mother that the money is yours.”

Whenever I look at this photo, I think of an afternoon fishing with my grandfather. My grandfather loves fishing.
When we were younger, he tried to get my brother and I excited about it. “It’s a wonderful way to spend the afternoon together,” he told us. Every Saturday he asked us to go with him. At first we would, but fishing seemed so boring to us. At last we told him that fishing wasn’t our thing.
One Saturday afternoon not long ago, I changed my mind and decided to go with him. I thought that maybe I would enjoy fishing more now that a few years have passed. So down to the water we went. We got in the water, threw the line, and waited. And waited. After three hours all we had was a single tiny fish.
“Grandpa, why do you like standing out here for hours like this ” I asked. “You’ve done nothing all afternoon!”
“Well.” he said. “When I was a boy, fishing wasn’t ‘nothing’. In fact, it was everything. I didn’t have TV, or video games, or smart phones. So I fished. Now, when I fish, I go back to being that boy. It was a happy time.”
This photo really changed how I see my grandfather. He is the man who has seen many changes and has had many experiences. Looking at the photo also reminds me that opinion of fishing changed that afternoon. Right after I took the picture, Grandpa felt a strong pull on his line.

Can plants talk Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps（黄蜂）! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili（辣椒）plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi（霉菌）. It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
