At first I couldn’t believe it! There were no 1 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to class. Although we all lived “in”, nobody made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
The 2 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 3 class. The new ones always went wild 4 , but this never lasted long. The 5 took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like 6 ; never did we have to 7 “stand up”, “sit down” , “speak out”. I don’t 8 one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in 9 school, but what a difference in the approach! For example, in botany we had 10 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 11 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. 12 in winter we each studied a few 13 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storeroom-small ones 14 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 15 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 16 the angles and so on . I didn’t take math. I can’t stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s 17 .

Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States, there are various independent organizations offering similar activities.
Students can participate ( take part ) in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies . Anyone can register ( 登记 ) with such groups, which then organize courses ,training and trips for all members .
One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain, is Outward Bound ( 户外训练 ). It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year.
The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence, self-esteem ( 自尊 ) and character. As well as specialist courses such as canoeing, leadership skills and sailing, participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills.
Michael Williams, an American student, took part in an Outward Bound course last year. He said: “We learned lots of first aid skills, lots of natural history, lots of environmental facts , and participated in a wildlife preservation ( protecting ) programme. Beyond that, my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.”
Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14. Students must be in general good health, but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports. There is no selection process; everyone is welcome, although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical power.
Most of the British courses take place in the Beacons in Wales. Another similar organization is the UK Survival School, which includes courses on learning to live with the environment, sailing and winter survival. On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food, how to make fire and cook with it, to find and build a shelter, control survival life support, how to cross rivers, send off an SOS signal, and to use compasses by day and night.
According to the leaders, such adventures are “an awakening, an exploration into unknown.” Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the earth’s roughest wildness areas.”

Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English very well when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure(结构), but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.
It's uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence (自信).
Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don't be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.
