10、 are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to th

11、e child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own li

12、ving, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.

17、social awkwardness(难堪)，difficulty in meeting people and being unable to communicate your ideas will hurt no matter who you are.。On the other hand., having great social skills can be helpful in almost any situation.

18、ings, these abilities can make you better at almost anything you do.Genes(基因) certainly play a role in determining how outgoing and attractive you can be. But social skills, like reading and writing, can be trained. You arent born able to read, why do you expect any other skill to develop automatica

19、lly(自动地)？Several years ago, if you had told me social skills were in your genes, I would have believed you. I had few close friends and had difficulty sharing my ideas. I spent most of my time, lonely. Finally, I was tired of the way things were and made efforts to change them. I joined Toastmasters

20、 to work on Public Speaking. I started writing every day and I put myself in new places to meet new people.

25、to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel. She refused.
