When I was a teenager, I used to skateboard on the playground. It seems that skateboarding is an (entertain) hobby a lot of American teenagers take great interest in.
I had a skateboard was bought not too long ago. But since I don’t skateboard any more, I made a
(decide ) that I should go to a skateboard shop and give
to some kid. I know I would have been so excited if someone had done that for me when I was younger.
So I drove to the local skateboard shop and waited outside for about ten minutes. A boy and his dad (be ) about to walk into the shop when I stepped up. I asked him if he’d like my skateboard. He asked how much it was. I told him it was free---as long as he used it!
His eyes lit up and I could see excited he was.
(hand) him my skateboard, I walked back to my car. His dad kept asking me if I was
(real) giving him my skateboard,
I kept saying ,“Yes!”
I think his dad was excited than he was. I was very happy that I could give someone a very nice skateboard.
In a small village, there lived a potter(陶工)who had a donkey. Every day his donkey would carry soil the field to his house. As the field was quite far off, the potter forgot
(take) the rope with which he tied the donkey every day, so he decided to lie down holding the donkey’s ears while sleeping. But this way, neither the donkey
the potter was able to take a rest. A saint(圣人),
happened to be passing by, saw them. When the potter told the saint
the problem was, the saint said, “Take the donkey to the place where you tie him every day. Pretend to tie him using
imaginary rope. I promise you he won’t run away.” The potter did so.
He left the donkey and went to take a rest. When he (wake) up, to his surprise and relief, he found the donkey
(stand) at the same place.
Soon the potter prepared to leave for home. But the donkey did not move. (luck), the potter saw the wise saint again and told him about the problem.The saint said, “You tied up the donkey, but did you untie(松开)him? Go and pretend to untie the rope.” The potter followed the saint’s advice with
(please).
Now the donkey was ready to leave for home. The potter went home happily with his donkey.
