When an egg breaks from outside, a life ends. When an Egg breaks from inside, a life begins.
All life’s circumstances can be seen in an egg where in the soft yolk (蛋黄) inside is our _____ and the hard shell outside is the barrier. When the barrier breaks from outside, our desire is crushed, but when it breaks from inside, we __ a new skill, a new habit and a new life.
I was 22 years old. I did not where the kitchen was in my house, since I had __ gone into the kitchen before. All of a sudden, I had to move to America to pursue my master’s degree. That is when it _____ me that I had to learn to cook a proper meal in order to _____ . My desire to cook began to _____ , and the yolk began to stir.
The first time I made_____ , it came out like white glue. Within a month of experimenting with different recipes, I ______ the art of making Chinese fried rice and north Indian curry. This breaking of the eggshell from _ gave me yet another skill for life, ____ . Now that I look back, maybe my wife agreed to marry me for this ____ alone.
It is easy to break an egg from outside, but it is __ to break it from inside. What is even more difficult is to ____ you from outside and break the egg from inside. That is where the role of a teacher, a mentor or a coach comes in.
As a father, I took it as my responsibility to __ my son cycling and swimming. In this case, the yolk was the untapped potential of my son and the barrier was his fear of losing _ . It took months of patience and coaching to help him _ his fear. It was an uphill task to keep him motivated through failures. _ , I was glad and relieved when he learned both these essential skills.
The important lesson here is that the egg will be __ no matter what. Success, when the egg breaks from inside, is more about what you overcome than what you achieve.
Life always throws up _ . I urge you all learn the instrument that you always wanted to play but have not played so far. As the saying goes, there is never a lock without a key, never a problem without a solution. Persist, believe in yourself and allow your yolk to break through to a new soul, a new you.

People always say that the earlier one learns a language, the it is to do so, in theory it is that, , in my opinion, that refers to spoken language. Capability(能力) to practice some essential(基本的) of a language and read between the lines can only be trained through proper reading ways and hard work .So spending money to help learn English may up with disappointment. It is likely that the more you ,the more you are let down.

It is better to have the child learn Chinese than to have some difficulty learning English for several years. Having been engaged in English education, find that despite(尽管) their excellent , many students have command of English words and phrases. So I suggest that children

“Let me give you an ”，I continued．The other 60 students in the class their chatter and began to listen．one day,my car died on the way．I called AAA and asked them to send a ．The secretary in the Provost’S office asked me what had happened．”This is my day”， I replied,smiling．”Your Car and today is your lucky day?”She Was ．”What do you mean?”“I live 17 miles from here”，I replied．”My car have gone wrong anywhere along the freeway．It didn’t．Instead，it went wrong in the place：off the freeway,within walking distance of here．I’m able to teach my class，and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to me after class．”The secretary’s eyes opened wide，and then she smiled．
I scanned the 60 faces in the lecture hall． the early hour,no one seemed to be asleep．Somehow,my story had them．Or maybe it Wasn’t the story ．It had all started with a student's that I Was cheerful．A wise mail once said：”Who you are louder to me than anything you can say”．I suppose it must be so．

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was ______ and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the ______ in my records. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to _____. “You’re lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in ______ ……”
He didn’t finish the ______, but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the ______ grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade ______ because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being ______ in the future. And every time I tell this ______, some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good ______ for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to ______ an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest ______ of his knowledge and it would have been ______to other students. How could I possibly give a student a gift of an_____ grade?
I know ______ reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like ______ extra change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as ______ as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is ______enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did ______ him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have ______him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.
