Writing was my favorite class at school. My teacher, Bebe Usi, was devoting and encouraging. We each spent several classes make a paper mask and wore it when reading our own work before the class. I have forgotten that composition now, but I remember the feeling of mask on my face and my heart was beating wild as I shared my composition. I was afraid of but proud. I have written many compositions before that but none of which had been chosen to be read before the class. They perhaps weren't the best composition and the most beautiful mask in my class. But they both were my.

The Truth about Whisky
Whisky is probably 1. most famous product of Scotland. Whisky making provides work 2. several thousand people in the Scottish Highlands and islands, and whisky is Scotland's biggest goods 3. (sell) to every corner of the world.
The qualities of whisky come from the water which 4. (use) to make it the rich "peaty"(多泥炭的) water of Scotland. When whisky is first made, it is 5. (actual) clear, not brown in colour.

For many years, whisky has been one of the most popular drinks all over the world, and Scotland 8. (produce) more and more of it so far. But whisky sales have not increased as fast, so there are now large reserves of whisky in Scotland, especially the better and 9. (much) expensive whisky. So a lot of the whisky sold today was made several years ago when people thought that whisky would get more and more popular. That is 10., today, a lot of the whisky in the shops is marked with "Ten years old", or even "Fifteen years old".

Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it? 1. I'm here to try and convince you that porridge can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.
Porridge is a type of food served for breakfast, usually a type of grain with either milk or water. It is thicker than liquid, but not solid. 2., so it's a very good option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.
Porridge preparation, such as the amount of materials and cooking time depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. 3., I put a very big handful of oats (麦片) in a pot, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. It takes about five minutes to cook.
Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors (味道). Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. 4., I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper-you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Seeds, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then sugar and chocolate are also very tasty options.
5.. Either oats or corn or both are "staple foods" for most people on the earth. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local materials to make your porridge interesting-whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are.
Hopefully porridge sounds a lot tastier now!
A．If you've never eaten it
B．If I'm cooking for myself
C．The porridge base is very easy to digest
D．It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either
E．It is often heated up but lacks all kinds of nutrition
F．You can make porridge almost anywhere in the world
G．Although some people think this makes porridge boring
The University of Birmingham is the first excellent UK Russell Group university to announce that it will accept the "Gaokao" exam for high-flying Chinese students wishing to join its. undergraduate courses in 2019. High school students who complete the "National Higher Education Entrance Examination", or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry onto Birmingham degree programmes without first completing a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman.
Gaokao is usually taken by students in their last year of senior high school and, every year, each province in China sets the grades required to gain admission to its universities.

University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said: "The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. We welcome people from around the globe to study at Birmingham and Chinese students form an integral part of our education and research community. We are further opening access to Birmingham's wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to welcoming these high-flying students to the University of Birmingham. "
Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements.
Professor J on Frampton, Director of the University of Birmingham's China Institute said:"The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguang-the founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham.
