Sme peple never read any bks again and feel that since they already knw the utcme, there is nthing t be gained by rereading. I have t dissent.
I am reminded f a prfessr in cllege, wh always had us read ur assignments twice. "The first time, read fast and fr fun," he said. "The secnd time, lk fr delicate distinctins and small differences in meaning." His suggestin wrks great fr me.

I lve dissecting (剖析) a stry the secnd time arund, lking fr clues that give the tale a deep meaning. Reading is like revisiting a friend, familiar, yet always with smething mre inside.
What have I been reading lately? The Merlin Trilgy by Mary Stewart. These bks rank amng my all-time favrite rereads. Set in Britain in rughly the secnd half f the 5th century CE, they were Mary Stewart's take n the familiar King Arthur stries. If yu are unfamiliar with them, I highly recmmend all three bks, especially if yu lve fantasy and histrical fictin.

T sme peple, the sizzle and clatter f restaurant kitchens might be like an rchestra; t me, such sunds behind the swinging drs just meant chas. Hwever unpleasant I felt the places were, I decided t apply fr a part-time jb at a ppular restaurant. The reasn was simple: I needed mney. I wanted t jin a camping trip t the Blue Muntains with my friends, but that wuld cst abut 150 dllars. "Yu have t pay fr entertainment by yurself," my parents said.
S I applied, and Mr. Smith, the bss f the restaurant, allwed me t have a try. My jb was super easy and bring: the newly prepared dishes wuld be put at the cunter between the kitchen and dining rm, and it was my duty t deliver them t the right custmers.
The first few days were tiring but OK. Hwever, setbacks sn fllwed as I struggled t keep pace during a particularly busy lunch rush. I awkwardly spilled a tray f drinks, making lud nises and the flr messy. I was embarrassed and began t feel nervus. One evening, I mixed up rders fr a large party, causing chas and frustratin.
I felt desperate. I screwed everything up. Then I heard Mr. Smith call me, and I went int his ffice with my head lw. T my surprise, he didn't blame me. Instead, he made me a cup f cffee. "Relax, yung man," he said. "Try t smile. Things always g wrng if yu can't really enjy what yu're ding. Feel the fun in the jb, and yu'll be OK!"
I thught he was right. The next day when I was wrking, I glimpsed int the kitchen and was amazed: in the narrw and crwded space everyne was busy—the chefs swirling (翻动) pans, the manager yelling custmers' requirements, thers cming and ging with dishes t deliver—but everything went smthly withut any lumping r bumping. This was incredible!

Dear friends,
As a high schl student, I am deeply cncerned abut the destructin f cultural heritage arund the wrld. Human activities such as war, urbanizatin, and turism have damaged many cultural sites, and we risk lsing them frever. It is time fr us t take actin and prtect ur glbal heritage.
The incredible splendur f heritage sites is a reminder f the pwer f nature and the genius f man.

Besides.heritage sites prvide us with pprtunities t wnder, t be inspired and t think mre deeply abut ur time n the Earth.
As Cicer remarked, "T be ignrant f what ccurred befre yu were brn is t remain always a child." Let us wrk tgether t prtect it fr future generatins.
