     Read this dialogue between Karen Lu and Alice Evans on a daily television talk show called  "Our
World". Alice has recently travelled around India on an elephant.
Karen:Welcome to the programme. First of all, Alice, what gave you the idea to travel around India on
an elephant?
Alice:Well, it all started when I went to a photographic exhibition of elephants. Then, a few days later, I
started reading a book about an Englishman travelling all the way to India on foot. I suddenly had the idea
to travel on an elephant.
Karen: So what did you do next?
Alice: I rang a friend in India and told him 1 wanted to buy an elephant. He told me about the prices of
elephants. He said that 1 would need two people to help me: one person to cut the animal's food, because elephants can eat up to 200kg of food each day, and another person to drive the elephant.
Karen:Is it expensive to buy an elephant?
Alice:We bought a female elephant called Tara for about US$6,000.
Karen: Well, Alice, you'd found your elephant. What did you do next?
Alice:Next, we had to plan our route. As we had to sell Tara at the end of the journey, we decided to
travel to Sonepur in northern India where the world's oldest elephant market is located. The market lasts
for two weeks every year and elephants can never be sold there before the special date of 23rd
November. The whole journey would take about 64 days to complete.
Karen:I see. And did you have any problems on your journey?
Alice:Yes. a few, but nothing too serious. At the beginning, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better after a
week. The weather was very bad as well. And we often found uninvited guests in our tents-snakes-which made sleeping rather difficult!
Karen: That sounds awful! And what finally happened when you reached the end of your journey?
Alice: I had grown very fond of Tara, and I didn't want to sell her, even though I knew I had to. Luckily,
however, I met some old friends at the market. They were looking for an elephant for their national park. I knew that Tara would be safe in the national park, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye.

Dear Donald,
     Last summer I had the chance to visit the other side of the world.I went to Beijing with my friends. I
visited the Great Wall and was deeply impressed by its length.I had never seen such a great wall before!
Walking less than a mile on the wall made me very tired,but I was very excited.I used up three camera
films in four hours.
     Shopping was another interesting part of the trip.In the Silk Market, I bought a cotton shirt for just a
quarter of the price the trader asked for.
     I have too many memories and experiences to share. I am so lucky to have been such a culture so
diffedent from my own. I will remember my trip to China forever!
                                                                                                                                               Yours,
                                                                                                                                                  Jane

     A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the
 other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were almost dead. The two frogs
  ignored (不理) the comments and tried to jump up out of the hole. The other frogs kept telling them to
  stop, and that they were almost dead. Finally, one of the frogs gave up. He fell down and died.
      The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him
  to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other
 frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were
 encouraging him the whole time.
     This story teaches two lessons:
      1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can
 lift them up and help them make it through the day.
      2. A destructive (毀滅性的) word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
     Be careful of what you say. Speak life to; those who cross your path. The power of words, It is
 sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak
 words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the one who will take
 the time to encourage another."
