1．I learnt to swim when I was a teenager.I went to the local swimming pool with my two sisters.It was old and cold and not very nice.I can still remember my instructor：his name was Colin Firth like the actor.But he wasn't as good-looking！
-Rachel robbins My father was a swimming instructor so I guess it's just in the blood.I can't remember a time when I couldn't swim.I spent most of my childhood holidays at the beach and I still go at any opportunity I get.
-Simon Fordham It took me a long time to learn.I wasn't a natural.I still don't swim very well.I certainly wouldn't like to be in a boat in rough（洶涌的）seas.I never really learnt to put my face in the water.It hurts my eyes and can't see.
-Geoffrey Hopkins One day I was standing by the deep end of the swimming pool and I suddenly fell in.I don't know How I did it but I managed to get to the side.I was coughing but could swim!My brother saw me when I got out and thought it was very funny.But he didn't laugh when I hit him.
-Karen Marks My first experience of swimming was when I was 8 or 9 years old.I was on a small boat with about ten other boys.It was very small and someone pushed me in the water.The water was very clean and I could see everything.I remember feeling very peaceful and comfortable，and I wasn't worried at all.I started swimming not very well，but another boy helped me to return to the beach.

2．When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guang Dong，China，we brought not only our luggage，but also our village rules，customs and culture.One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders.Unluckily，this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.One time，when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple，the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly.As soon as I said that，her face showed great displeasure.My manager，who happened to hear what I said，took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive（敏感） Americans are and how they dislike the description（描述） "old".I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.After the couple heard my reason，they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences，so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China，people are proud of being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty，and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However，in the United States，people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging，and women put on makeup，hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly，they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.I had told them something they didn't want to hear.
After that，I changed the way I had been with older people.It is not that I don't respect them any more；I still respect them，but now I don't show my feelings through words.

3．"I'm going to fail !"My best friend cried.She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.
The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects.I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist （完美主義者）.What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.
For example，failure can help build relationships.Once was cooking dinner for a friend.I was tired，and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad.I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry.She cared more about our friendship than the dishes.That day，I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you.In fact，after she said those words to me，I grew closer to her.
Failure can make success ever more exciting.Every few years，there would be an important test in the PE class at our school.Students had to run a mile within eight minutes.I was never good at running，so I failed every time until the third year at school.Then I began working out regularly，and yet I still failed that year.A few days later，however，the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally!You can 't imagine how excited I was after that.I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey，because I had to overcome failure to reach it.
Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons.It's not an end—it can be a beginning.

4．Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table，reading his book．His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could．
One day the grandson asked，"Grandpa，I try to read the book just like you，but I don't understand it，and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book．What good does reading the book do？"

The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard，but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again．Out of breath，he said，"Grandpa，it's useless!"
"So，you think it is useless？"the grandpa said，"Look at the basket．"
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different．It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean．
"Grandson，that's what happens when you read the book．You might not understand or remember everything，but when you read it，you'll be changed，inside and out．"
