英语单词的趣事

My Childhood I’d like to tell you something about my childhood. When I was six years old, I was a lovely girl!One day, my father saw some fish in the river, so he asked me, “Why can fish only live in water?” I thought about it, then I gave him the answer, “Because there are some cats on the bank.” My father laughed when he heard that. Then he said, “You are smart!” I was happy to hear that.Maybe you will say, “It’s a funny answer.” Now, I think, it is very interesting. And now I am smart. My parents love me very much. I am so happy to have that childhood.The date was ripe The date has been ripe, entire red, the red half face, selects proudly on the tree, clamps among the deep green diverse and confused leaf, the wind comes, one can move mischievously the red jujube to Ye Fengli goes, one can show off. I stand under the jujube tree, the supine neck gallic acid acid, more looks greedily. The jujube tree happen to is suffering a top of a wall, so long as can crawl can pick the date. But the wall has probably years been long, the wall goes against after the wind blows is exposed to the sun and rain already under flaking the multi-layer, the lower part of wall is the small heap which a group of exquisite greasy soil particle piles becomes. The jujube attraction far is bigger than the crisis feeling which this wall brings. I move in the chair, probes is crawling from the low place, along, along, below is slowly trembles the slightly leg, above is trembles the slightly hand, finally moved jujube tree's under, aimed at that several red jujubes, put out a hand to entrain that branch. Takes off one to admit in the mouth, tastes first for quickly, also has picked several, admits the pocket. Also wants again to pick several, stands on tiptoes starts out with picks the high place, as soon as suddenly, under the foot slides, but also how hasn't clarified a matter, layer on layer falls in ground. The good danger, the lower part of wall place iron harrow only leaves my foot far, really falls hurts! I have not cried, actually should not cry not to be worth crying. All is oneself looks, no wonder others. I stand, stepped on several feet bitterly and I in once several clods of earth which falls from the wall. In the heart also secretly rejoices oneself falls really is the place, otherwise, if falls on the iron harrow, pokes several big holes, the day! Really does not dare to think. In the pocket installs is falling down from the wall in a big way makes several which the price trades, the red jujube, puts one to the mouth in, that which ate on the wall are sweetly more than the station.

有一次我和我的美国朋友聊起我家的趣事，我原本想说，我妈会撒谎（lie）逗我爸玩儿。但是说出来的却是“My mom cheated on him（我妈对我爸不忠）”……很久之后，我才意识到自己的错误，终于明白为啥朋友们都对我表示同情。

我英语学的非常好，从小到大唯一比较感兴趣的科目就是英语，大学的时候选择的是英语专业，有一次上课外国老师过来上课，我非常骄傲的用一口中国式英语介绍了自己，结果外教说再来一次，我没有听懂你的发言。

Mr. Johnson 50 years ago goes study in the Leech elementary school. Aweather sunny morning, he returns to his alma mater Leech elementaryschool makes a report to there young boy and the little girls. Heslowly said that, "Works as I am your this age time, I do not like youlike this to be happy today. You knew why you now so are happy?" Hearsto this question after, each children have been all peaceful down. Thechildren among do not have the sound to spread, has waited for aftergood long period of time until the old person, sat has only then stoodin a front-row young boy, smiled was saying: "If you speak the timeenough long speech, this morning we did not use any class. Therefore,we now extremely are happy."约翰逊先生五十年前在Leech小学就读。一个天气晴朗的上午，他回到他的母校Leech小学向那里的小男孩及小女孩们作一个报告。他慢慢地说：“当我是你们这个年龄的时候，我不像你们今天这样地高兴。你们知道你们现在为什么如此高兴吗？”听到这个问题以后，每一个孩子都安静了下来。孩子们中间没有声音传出来，直到老人等了好长的一段时间以后，坐在前排的一个小男孩才站了起来，笑着说道：“假如你讲话时间足够长的话，今天上午我们就不用上任何课了。所以，我们现在非常高兴。”

我在前面的文章提到过，我平时喜欢听音乐，因为听音乐能让我放松，从而提高效率。这是我在初中有了人生第一台复读机之后发现的事情，从那以后就开始喜欢边听歌边写作业了。以前从来不觉得这有任何问题，也从来没有问过自己为什么。所以在初中和高中的老师们不让我们在自习期间戴耳机的时候，我特别地不理解。虽然被明令禁止，但我还是由着自己的性子来。这中间被老师抓过几次，但神奇的是从来没有被没收过机器，于是也就不再害怕这项规定了。久而久之，在学校胆子也变得越来越大，导致后来高三的时候经常逃掉英语课去图书馆自习。也许当时的英语老师知道高三的我们又叛逆心理压力又大，也就一直都没有管我。我一直洋洋自得，却不知道不学习英语最终会让我付出代价。 话说回来，高中的时候真的特别不喜欢英语课，因为觉得和初中时候的英语课一比简直弱爆了。初中的英语课都是小班教学，比较注重口语的训练，还经常演情景剧，练对话等等，特别有意思。而高中就是背单词，背词组，记语法，非常无聊。于是高中英语课经常偷懒，作业只做阅读题之前的部分（高中英语老师不检查作业），课上也经常写其它作业，然后到了高三就干脆直接翘课了。现在想起来觉得特别后悔，不仅不尊重老师，也让自己的英语水平停滞不前。可惜的是后面到了大学还是一样地不认真上英语课，蒙混过关。我几乎是靠着初中的那点英语基础混过了高考和四六级，直到考托福的时候终于遇到了挫折。不过也正是因为挫折，开启了我自学的道路。 考托福之前，我并没有去上任何课程，全程自学。第一次考试，只考了80分。要知道那个时候总分120，而如果没上100就得重考。于是我考了第二次，96分，虽然进步了许多，但仍然没有过100分。后来又去考了第三次，这一次终于上了100分，而且还考了个110。每一次考试我都有努力准备，但前两次真的是基础太差，而且可能准备的时间并不够。但每一次都能提高十几分，说明每一次的用心准备都能让自己上升一个level。从这个时候开始，我慢慢地喜欢上了自学，因为我发现自己学习可以自己掌控节奏，不用浪费时间去重复已经掌握的知识，也可以花足够多的时间去学习不太容易理解的内容。 后来自学成了我生活中非常重要的一个环节，不管是读研究生期间还是开始工作之后。它不仅帮我拿到了dream company的offer，还让我接触到了更多感兴趣的领域，打开了新世界的大门。这些等以后有机会了再聊。
