Everyone has an experience they would rather forget. Some are embarrassing, some are moving, and some teach us a lesson. Here is a story of mine.
Last Sunday I went fishing. After setting up my fishing rod（钓鱼竿） with bait（鱼饵）, I sat down on the bank of the lake. But two hours later, I didn’t catch any fish. I got very angry and began to pack up my stuff（收拾东西）, preparing to go back home. Just then, I saw an old man sitting near me. To my surprise, his basket was full of fish, so I went over to him, wanting to know why. “Excuse me, but how long have you sat here?” I asked. “About four hours”, heanswered. “Four hours?” I couldn’t believe my ears. “Yes. It’s very important to be patient,” the old man said. “ Don’t consider fishing a tiring sport. Just enjoy it.”
Suddenly I understand what he said. I must learn to be patient. Then I sat there and waited for the fish patiently. I felt a fish touch the bait but I didn’t move and waited for the right moment to reel it in ( 卷收钓鱼线). At last I caught it. This made me very happy. In the following six hours I caught over ten fish. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________On my way home I thought what had happened on the bank. I gradually realized that the secret of success was patience. How do we read narrative?
As we read, we should ask ourselves:
1) What are the main events in the narrative?
2) What is the writer's purpose in telling us about these
events?
3) What point of view does the author use?
4) What audience is the author aiming at? How do we

Festivals are meant to celebrate important events and they take place in different times of year. In ancient times, people had not enough to eat and often starved to death. Only in festivals could they have a big meal. The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China to celebrate the arrival of lunar calendar’s New Year. It is the time for the reunion of the family members. In the Spring Festival Eve, dressed up in beautiful new clothes, families gather together and have a big meal. It is the custom for the adults to give lucky money to the children for good luck. In many places people like to set off firecrackers. Dumplings are the traditional food. Kids look forward to the coming New Year, for they can have delicious food, dress up in new clothes and have fun. Most importantly, they can get pocket money from their parents and relatives.
