I used to have a friend called Matilda. We were together at secondary school. When we were 16, she moved

because of her father's job, but we kept in touch. We used to write long letters to each other. I went to stay with

her a couple of times too. We lost contact (联系) after university. I'd love to see her again because we used to be

really good friends.

I used to hate a couple of teachers at school, but I think the one I hated the most was my French teacher. He

was really terrible. I don't think he liked children or even teaching. He used to be impatient with us and he didn't

explain things well. I failed French — it was the only subject I ever failed at school.

I used to play a lot of squash (壁球), but I recently started playing tennis and now I like it better. The

problem with squash is that it's pretty hard and maybe I'm just not strong enough to play it. Also the friend I used

to play with always beat me. The great thing about tennis is that it's outdoors so I can enjoy the fresh air. It's less

competitive and more fun. The only problem is that you can't play when it rains.

they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.

One day,while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the

grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set

free from some sort of prison( 监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his
