Umbrella is what we easily forget and leave behind in our daily life. When the weather is fine, we certainly don’t think of it; only when it's raining, we’ll carry it purposefully. But as soon as the rain stops, most likely we’ll forget we’ve put it. It has to wait patiently and pitifully for
owner to claim it, otherwise it’ll remain alone as a deserted umbrella.
Once I suddenly found my longtime (use) umbrella “disappeared” I really got lost and regretted quite some time
my own carelessness.
Several days later, out of my (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked. I was extremely glad to regain it. Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar
me, I found for the first time its wooden handle
(wear)out as a result of repeated rain-wash for years. I sought for it only when I needed it. It occurred to me that I should have paid
(much) attention to it.
It sets me thinking. Around us there are always people giving us support in silence just like umbrella that protects us from the rain or any wretched weather. Will gou think of those individuals
have helped you get through difficulty when you are leading a comfortable life?
Alice: Mr. Black, this is Alice (speak). I’m calling to ask you if I can take the afternoon off today.
Black: Well, of course,can you tell me what the problem is, Alice?
Alice: OK, Mr. Black. My son is going to take part in a singing(compete) to be held in Washington tomorrow. He’s got so many things to take
he can’t go there alone.Black: So you want to take
there in your minibus?
Alice: Yes. And as soon as I put him up in the hotel, I (drive) back.
Black: Well, that would be tiring journey. It’s nearly 300 kilometers away and it will take you at least six hours
(travel) to and from Washington. Why don’t you stay there
you have seen your son perform?
Alice: But I have two classes tomorrow morning.
Black: Don’t worry. I’ll tell Mary to take your classes instead. She’s always willing to help.
Alice: That’ll be nice. Thank you and give my thanks Mary.
Black: You’re welcome.
