Many books we’ve read and movies we’ve watched were totally untrue, but we enjoyed the inspiration they gave us—especially if they had a happy ending.
So, please read and share these stories at your own discretion(判断力). Thank you for your understanding!
Also, many of the inspiring stories used here are used with permission from the author. However, we cannot grant(授予) permission to reuse any of these inspirational stories, as the majority of them are not ours.
Lastly, many inspiring stories(emailed to us or we came across online )are listed as “Author Unknown” If you happen to know the author’s name, to whom credit should be given, please contact us with that information so we can keep our inspiring story collection accurate. Thank you again! !

As a lucky student, I attended the 2017 National English Summer Camp holding in a beautiful city of South West from July 24 to 29, it was sponsored by the English Weekly. Over 100 students and 20 English teaching experts from all over the province take part in it. All the campers must speak English. During the sixth days, a series of English activities were organized. We also visited some places of interest as well. Therefore, we had a colorful farewell party. The camp provided us for a great number of value opportunities to speak English, make friends and exchange learning experience. At end of the camp I found myself English improved a lot.
