阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school，my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil，so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play，where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
ㅤSo，why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail？His reply："Because I love your stories. If you're willing to apply yourself，I think you have a good shot at this." Encouraged by his words，I agreed to give it a try.
ㅤI chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith （银匠） in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18，1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse's mouth. Not a brilliant idea，but funny；and unlikely to be anyone else's choice.
ㅤWhat did the horse think，as he sped through the night？Did he get tired？Have doubts？Did he want to quit？I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But，like Revere's horse，I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling，I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
ㅤWhen I handed in the essay to my teacher，he read it，laughed out loud，and said， "Great. Now，write it again." I wrote it again，and again and again. When I finally finished it，the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn't win，I wouldn't care.

Shanghai bans Chinese Internet slang terms
The language police in Shanghai, China’s largest city, plan to ban those and other Chinese Internet slang terms (网络语言) from classrooms, official documents, and publications produced in the city, newspapers reported Friday. “On the Web, Internet slang is convenient and satisfying, but the mainstream media have a responsibility to guide proper and legal language usage,” the Shanghai Morning Post quoted city official Xia Xiurong as saying. With the increasing number of young people who use computer, chatting on line and sending messages become more and more popular. They invent, abbreviate and borrow a lot of words, such as “MM”, meaning girl, “PK” or player killer, for one’s competitor, “Konglo
ng” or dinosaur for an unattractive woman. Several government departments of city have been given the right to carry on the regulation by monitoring the official documents, news broadcasts and textbooks in Shanghai. The results of their supervision(监督) are expected to be made known to the public regularly. Yet many young people say the nation’s language needs to change with time and Internet slang can be a source of new vocabulary.
