One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt,
pay a fair price for it: neither too much nor too little.”
His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, not save a bit of money?”
“That would be a very (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy

Nick’s guests, had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt
(cheap) if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason why a man would sell salt at a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect
the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”
“But such a small thing couldn't (possible) destroy a village.”
“In the beginning, there was only a very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”

It is recommended that one of the effective ways to make your English writing skills improved should be keeping a diary. (compare) with other form of writing， it takes
(little) time as well as being shorter. It is

good many difficulties at times. The trouble is
you can not find appropriate words and phrases to give expression to your mind. In addition, there are lots of idiomatic ways of Chinese appearing in your diary.
my point of view, a piece of good advice is that there should be no
way more suitable than keeping a notebook and an English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something

down and then consult the dictionary. Certainly you can get help from your English teacher if necessary. I’m sure it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the
(improve) of writing abilities.
