Harpinder Kaur was stuck in a dead-end job, but “ a chance meeting with a man on a bus in Bradford everything”, she tells James Grey, a for the Moonlight City Newspaper.

Harpinder had been called into court to the testimonies(证词) of the defendants（被告）. Until then, Harpinder had been working as a teacher of English as a second language in Leeds, and had been , very gradually, to move into a career as a translator. Her on that day taught her how to deal with a new condition without getting any advice or support.
“It was a(n) day, but I think I did pretty well,” she says, “At first I that I couldn’t do it.” Then I thought, “This is part of my job. These people my help, and I can’t just say that I don’t want to do it.”
Harpinder doesn’t always enjoy what she does, and most of her work in courtrooms, police stations and immigration centres. It doesn’t whether she sympathises with the situation her clients are in, or believes they are or guilty: her role is to the precise meaning of their words.
“So, what made you a career as an interpreter?” asked James Grey. “One day, when I was still teaching, I met a man on a bus a Chinese dictionary.

Life became hard when I was 14. My mother and I moved to New York to join my father, who’d moved there to find better-paying work when I was three years old. He had a at a restaurant and only visited us once every couple of years.
Before I moved, I knew that people in the US spoke English. But , I didn’t stop to analyze the situation when I was to leave . Just like I assumed I could easily become a doctor or a lawyer. I assumed that I had the skills to learn in a few weeks.
When I in the US and started 8th grade at Ditmas Middle School in Brooklyn, everyone was a(n) foreign language I couldn’t understand. I that life had subtitles（字幕）, like in foreign movies.
was such a serious place here. Sometimes I felt like I was in a geek（呆子） class. The teachers were always watching my moves so I couldn’t even throw a paper ball at a classmate’s head. And the thing was having to read newspaper.
But after almost seven months of about everything, I realized that complaining didn’t change things. It just made my life worse. If I was going to in this new concrete jungle, I had to adapt. I began to learn English by reading newspaperson my own after . After about four months, I started enjoying reading the crime and sports stories. After six months of studying, my teachers notice my and moved me into a more modern English class. I could go to the storeand ask for things that I wanted to buy any frustration. For the first time I felt like I was living on earth again because I didn’t hear talk. I could understand people.

So, for the past month, I’ve been flowers in a little cup on the sink in the bathroom. Each week, I the flowers and the quote.

Have you ever wondered how to work out who your true friends really are? Here are a few tips for you to exactly who your true friends are.
First, it’s very difficult, especially you’re in a large group of friends where you have a very different range of . Some of them may be goof-offs or clowns, some of them may be very and intense, and some of them may just be the run of the mill(普通的) friends. However, in your life, when you’re looking for a friend, you want the friend that’s really going to be there for you when you need him or her and some positive information and positive attention.
So, I guess a good rule of thumb(单凭经验的方法) when you’re looking for a true friend, or who your true friends are, is to find the ones that really you when the going gets rough. That is, when you’re in a pot, they’re really there for you, being supportive, listening and trying to help you for yourself what you might want to do. A true friend will also you for who you are and not try to make you into something else that’s different. For , if you have a bat habit, they are going to accept you with that bad habit, the rest of the habits, instead of just ridiculing you about it, at you about it, or putting you down. We all have our shortcomings, and a true friend is one who accepting of you, no matter what your are.
It is very hard to the true friends, especially from a large group of friends, as the personalities began to mesh(匹配) over time. So, its you to be very aware, watch your friends, and look back at who’s really been there for you in your difficult situations.

I noticed something unusual in the parking lot as I turned off one of the main roads in my town the other day.
There’s a wide grassy land in front of their parking lot, where people often put up announcing their yard on sale. That’s what was happening that day, but the sight me was worthy of a double take. When I saw it, I hesitated for a moment before reacting to it. I made sure finally that I really saw a man in a suit was a sign into the ground and a homeless man in ragged clothing was the sign while he hammered.
I was by how the two men looked so exactly : One was wearing a soldier suit, snowy white shirt and matched tie, but the other was wearing , mismatched clothing, with uncombed hair waving in the wind. And then the humanity of the moment hit me. So many times we homeless people and all we see is just homeless people. But on that day, I saw the kindness of a man who walked over to help while he hammered his sign into the ground. The moment really me, and it was a fresh reminder to look the outward appearance and see the person instead.
A friend and I had the a few years ago to write a study guide to a book. It’s an amazing book. That was evident from the first page when I read the dedication (题词) and it , “To Titus, who taught me to cheer for humanity.”
Wow, more of us did that? Can you imagine a it would make in our world? In one of the chapters, Sammy tells about sitting in large crowds at places, like shops and airports, and for humanity. It does things. Just imagine an old lady down the street becomes a wounded soul, who just needs someone to her and a homeless person on the street becomes a real person, someone who needs concern and a helping hand.
