In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen.

HUAWEI After more than 30 years’ development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier （供应商）of 5G.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U. S. government ordered a ban（禁令）on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U. S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.

“We have never received such a request （要求）from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “This ban from the U. S. would do little to our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “ I started Huawei with only £4, 000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you think.”

Facing the ban of the U. S., Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunications equipment （电信设备）supplier, selling in 170 countries! It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

As school kids, we have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small. 26．.

Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? 27． Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life’s biggest challenge.

You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. 28．.

Dear Paul,

How are you? It is great to hear from you. I think making a speech in public won’t be difficult if you follow my suggestions.

You may get nervous to face so many people when you give a speech in public. Why not practice with your families before the speech? Smile and useful advice from your families will cheer you up. It is also a common problem for you to forget what to say during the speech. Keep practicing before the speech and try to keep every word in your mind. I think these might be the keys to the problem.

In a word, practice makes perfect. Keep practicing and you will make it. I wish you will make a wonderful speech and enjoy the platform.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Yours,

Li Hua
