My shock and surprise disappeared when I understood that this island was my salvation (得
救). I began to shout for help to the people on the island. They did not understand me but they
understood that I was in difficulty and made signs for me to move towards them. They moved
closer and when I was underneath the island they sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled
me up.
The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were incredibly strange. They wore the strangest clothes and they all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant's job was to tap (轻拍)his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. This was because these masters passed most of their time in intense thought(沉思). They thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. And as a result they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening, or learning where they were going.
I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace the king was lost in thought and didn't notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servants tapped him on the mouth and he spoke.
I didn't understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon to make me speak. I protested very quickly.
"I know exactly when to speak and listen," I told them. They understood the sense of what I said. But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too. Then after dinner, a servant came to teach me their language and tell me about life on Laputa.

Once I got into high school, English made me confused because I couldn’t stand the boring grammar points. Soon, I lost interest in English and my English became very poor.
But English music gave me the confidence to learn this second language. One day I bought an English magazine. There was a tape in it. It recorded several English songs and collected some fun articles (文章).The moment I listened to the songs recorded on the tape, I fell in love with English music. My grades improved because I could read some interesting articles in the magazine to get to know the fantastic cultures of English - speaking countries.
