8、她還要上班，所以只能在清晨四點(diǎn)半給我上課。NowasyoumightimagineIwasn’ttoohappyaboutgettingupthatearly.alotoftimesI’dfallasleeprightthereatthekitchentable.ButwheneverI’dcomplainmymotherwouldjustgivemeoneofthoselooksshe’dsay“Thisisnopicnicftake

11、tioncanprovide.我首先要講講你們對(duì)自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。你們每個(gè)人都有自己的長(zhǎng)處。你們每個(gè)人都能做出自己的貢獻(xiàn)。你們對(duì)自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任是發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的能力所在。而教育能夠提供這樣的機(jī)會(huì)。MaybeyoucouldbeagreatwritermaybeevengoodenoughtowriteabookarticlesinanewspaperbutyoumightnotknowituntilyouwritethatEnglishpape
