It was my birthday last Thursday. I decided to it by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening .
When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely . I looked around but not a single table was . One of the waiters recognized me. He came over and the situation. "A party of tourists came in about half an hour ago.” he said. " Suddenly the place was full! We can hardly manage. "
The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. "The people there are about to "he said, "Just and you'll find a place there." He was right. Fifteen minutes later,he people at the corner table paid their , got up and left. I led my friends and we all sat down.
Unluckily our table was almost out of . We tried to call the attention of the waiter sent us there, but he, like all the other waiters, was with the party of tourism. They ordered lots of food. At last, an hour later, the tourists were leaving and looking very with life. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table. I my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our order.
A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had for us. Looking a little , he told us that there was no meat fish left. "All we can offer you" he said, "is an omelet(煎蛋卷) !"

No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully.

First your time for eating , sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 1.____ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
2..
Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
