1、Everyone can change the world

A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt hopeless at the time. He ended his letter with this question: “We can’t really change this crazy world we live in, can we?” 1. 他发现改变世界是如此难。But I replied to him and started my own letter with these words: “Yes, we most certainly can!”

I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was the music teacher at my elementary school. She was good at playing the guitar. I wanted to impress her2. 然而，我不知道如何演奏好任何乐器.

One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best, but could only stumble along (断断续续地弹奏). 3.When I had done it, I put my head down, never feeling so embarrassed in my whole life. “I guess I am not very good,” I told her. She looked at me with her kind eyes, smiled at me and said, “We are all good at something. You just need to find out what you are good at. Then, you can share your goodness with the world.”

Those simple words changed me.4.They planted a seed (种子) in my heart that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside of me. I just had to find it and share it.

Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it through one choice, one person, and one kind act at a time.5. 你要做的所有事情就是分享你的擅长之处. Mother Teresa once said, “God doesn’t ask us to do great things, only small things with great love.” So make your love great!

One day, Gulliver was too tired and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.

The Emperor(国王)spoke in a high voice but I couldn’t hear all the words clearly. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages—Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words.

After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went also. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me.

An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose how to deal with them. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended(假装) to eat the sixth man.

The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding(捆绑物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.

The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.

At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If my binding was cut, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.
