4、ur present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I cant wait,” I said. The next day I couldnt wait any longer. I needed to tell her. “Mom, may I talk to you for a second?” “Sure, dear.

6、amera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom. Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures.

11、e. Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W.H.Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing.In his opinion, reading doesnt just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incor

12、porating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself.The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees.Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to

13、express the information you have got from the text.Ive seen it again and again：some-one who cant express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasnt read it at all.
