Dear Aunt Carla, I'm having a problem with my classmate, Joan, at school. The other day I wrote an email to another classmate, Beth, in which I said something about Joan that perhaps wasn't very nice. Unluckily, when Beth was writing back to me, she sent it to Joan@163.com, which is Joan's email address! Now Joan is really angry with me and won't talk to me, and Beth is unhappy as well. She has said sorry to me a hundred times already, but the harm is done. I feel bad, because I would never have said those things to Joan's face, but how do I get her to forgive me? What should I do?

Dear Steve, This problem is more common than you might think! Email is very useful, but also very dangerous, as you don't know where your message might end up! First of all, you should say sorry right away to Joan. Explain that it was a mistake, and that you didn't mean to hurt her feelings. It may take time for her to be able to forgive you, but that's up to her. Then you might want to do something nice for her. Perhaps send her some flowers to show that you're truly sorry. Also, you should remember that old saying: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." And good luck! Carla |

Interest is the key to success. A person who is interested in something will devote himself to it. Meanwhile, a big miracle (奇迹) will be made. I have invented robots which improve the work of cars. My love of making things began when I was a kid. I really became excited about inventing after I learned about Thomas Edison.
One day in fourth grade, our teacher gave us a ______ in class. We had to write to a company and learn about the products. I thought and thought. Finally I ______ the Thomas A. Edison Company. Soon after, the company sent me a book about the life of Thomas Edison. How I enjoyed reading and re-reading about his inventions! I liked the recorded sound and the electric light most. The inventions were clearly ______ on my brain.
My dad noticed my interest in inventing and ______ me. He showed me how to turn my ideas into plans and then into new things. Once, I surprised my dad with a model plane I made. Later, we found a similar model plane in a store. I learned that different inventors often invent similar things. It is not ______ for this to happen. I also learned that not all great ideas ______. Failure is a common part of the inventing. And failure can make a positive contribution (贡献) to your life once you learn to use it.

His guiding hands, together with my ______ in inventing, led me to become an engineer and an inventor. It's well known to all that interest plays an important role in one's life. Of course, I also thank Thomas Edison. He is my hero.
