I was a shy girl. I didn’t even like t answer the telephne fr fear I’d have t talk t smebdy I didn’t knw. I enjyed the lneliness f explring nature. Hwever, at schl I had t spend all day in the cmpany f thers. My escape was reading. I spend a lt f time studying and was rewarded with gd grades. My nly failure was Spanish — I’d get all As n my written wrk and tests, but Ds and Fs n the spken part.
Eventually I went t cllege. During my third year f cllege, I had enugh f being shy and determined t change my utlk and behavir. One day while at schl, I nticed an advertisement fr psitins n the lcal classical music radi statin. I had grwn up listening t classical music, and I culd easily prnunce names such as Tchaikvsky, Albinni, and Chpin.
I had abslutely n backgrund in radi, and abslutely n hpe f getting the jb. The idea f talking t thusands f listeners in “radi land” terrified me. Hwever, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptins f symphnies (交响乐) and a public service annuncement t read, and a list f cmpsers’ names t prnunce. It wasn’t hard fr me. I left the recrding sessin (录音时段) with a sense f relief and a sense f accmplishment. Abut tw weeks later I actually landed the jb. It was a challenging jb, but I grew t enjy it greatly. I began t feel cmfrtable talking t peple.
Althugh I nw spend many hurs each week talking with peple, I’m still basically a quiet persn. Perhaps it is my sft vice and my quiet nature that helps draw peple ut as they respnd t my questins as I interview them. My frmer shyness is a frtune, as I can relate t peple wh feel discmfrtable when they talk t newspaper reprters. I still enjy mments f lneliness and the peace fund in nature. But I’m als glad I decided t make a change in my life that has pened many drs and pprtunities that I never knew existed.

Human beings have used tls fr a very lng time. In sme parts f the wrld yu can still find tls that peple used mre than tw millin years ag. They made these tls by hitting ne stne against anther. In this way, they brke ff pieces frm ne f the stnes. These chips f stne were usually sharp n ne side. Peple used them fr cutting meat and skin frm dead animals, and als fr making ther tls ut f wd. Human beings needed t use tls because they did nt have sharp teeth like ther meat-eating animals, such as lins and tigers. Tls helped peple t get fd mre easily.
Wrking with tls als helped t develp human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began t invent mre and mre tls and machines. The stne chip was ne f the first tls that peple used, and perhaps it is the mst imprtant. Sme scientists say that it was the key t success f mankind.

My nly failure was Spanish — I’d get all As n my written wrk and tests, but Ds and Fs n the spken part.
Eventually I went t cllege. During my third year f cllege, I had enugh f being shy and determined t change my utlk and behavir. One day while at schl, I nticed an advertisement fr psitins n the lcal classical music radi statin. I had grwn up listening t classical music, and I culd easily prnunce names such as Tchaikvsky, Albinni, and Chpin.
I had abslutely n backgrund in radi, and abslutely n hpe f getting the jb. The idea f talking t thusands f listeners in “radi land” terrified me. Hwever, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptins f symphnies (交响乐) and a public service annuncement t read, and a list f cmpsers’ names t prnunce. It wasn’t hard fr me. I left the recrding sessin (录音时段) with a sense f relief and a sense f accmplishment. Abut tw weeks later I actually landed the jb. It was a challenging jb, but I grew t enjy it greatly. I began t feel cmfrtable talking t peple.
Althugh I nw spend many hurs each week talking with peple, I’m still basically a quiet persn. Perhaps it is my sft vice and my quiet nature that helps draw peple ut as they respnd t my questins as I interview them. My frmer shyness is a frtune, as I can relate t peple wh feel discmfrtable when they talk t newspaper reprters. I still enjy mments f lneliness and the peace fund in nature. But I’m als glad I decided t make a change in my life that has pened many drs and pprtunities that I never knew existed.
