My Writing Teacher

English writing was always easy for me, but that changed on the first day I walked into Mrs. Johnson's class. Before that, Td heard rumors from former students. 'iThey said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous.

The first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult, but she would give us new 'tools” and guide us throug。. She explained that her grading system was different, and that we would not see high scores soon. ^Everything you do in class matters,' she said. 'As writing is an art，，,it takes a long time to perfect.”

Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question. So in class I kept silent most of the time and couldn't follow her. When I got my first essay back, my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class.

Then I realized I needed to find out what I could do to improve my grade and how to use the “tools” in my writing. As 1 still didn’t dare to talk to Mrs. Johnson in person, I c-mailed her. In this way, she and I worked together lo improve my writing. By and by, I could talk to her bolh online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work.

From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behind everything Mrs. Johnson was saying, she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me dDwn so that I could climb back stronger.

The Kilt

Whenever people from Scotland live in foreign countries, they arc always asked: uIs Scotland that place where men wear skirts?>, The short answer is yes, but there is more about the myths of Scottish uskirts.n

The “skirt” that Scotsmen (苏格兰男子)sometimes wear is cabled a kilt. It is part of the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it, and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing one.

People's knowledge and ideas about Scotsmen wearing these funny kilts come from films and television. Every time people from other countries ask about the kilt, they mention Mel Gibson's film, Braveheari. In many countries, there arc television programmes about Scotland. These programmes always include information or images of men in kilts.

Of course, in Scotland, you will often see the kilt The reality is, though, that you will most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colours.

But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for special occasions, such as wedddings, funerals and other big and important events. Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarket.

The reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt, he normally wears it with a special shirt, jacket, socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact, an average kilt outfit (全套服装)costs around £500.

11.According to the Scotsmen .

A. like foreign culture B. sometimes wear kilts

My Major Problem

Decision-making is something I struggle with. In fact, I’d rather have someone else make decisions for me.

As I sat in a crowded information session (咨询会)at a college last summer, I was again faced with the pressure of making a decision. 26 He then asked each of us to give our intended major. I looked at my mother with panic.

“A major?” I said. “I can’t even decide what socks to wear to school!”

I wanted to say I was undecided. But as my turn to speak approached, my confidence decreased. 27 I watched the girl in front of me. She was searching for some obscure (鲜为人知的)major. I realized I couldn’t just say undecided. So, when my turn came, I uneasily said, “I want to major in business.” I could feel “liar” written all over my face.

28 I felt ashamed. “Why couldn't I have said that?” I thought. The admissions adviser even said that a lot of people are uncertain. That is why students have to decide until the end of the second year.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life. All I know is that I don't want to do anything that involves blood. 29 This isn’t really narrowing it down. T've been told many people start college with one major, and graduate with a degree in something totally different.After my experience at the information session, T've learned not to be afraid of saying I'm “undecided”. I know now that I am not the only one uncertain about future studies. I'm still experiencing a “major” problem. 30
