A
I
am
Tim Smith. I work at a hospital as a doctor. My wife Kim
is
a teacher. She teaches Music at a middle school. We get up at 7 every morning. We have breakfast at 7:15. Kim doesn't like tea or bread. She often has an egg and some milk for breakfast. Then we go to work at 8. Both Kim and I
are
fans of basketball. At
the
weekend, we often watch basketball matches on TV. Kim also likes shopping, so she often goes shopping on Saturdays. We take a holiday every August. We often go to a small town nearby. I like
to ride/riding
(ride) a bike there, and Kim walks around because she doesn't know how to ride a bike. The town
is
quiet and beautiful. We like it very much, so we go there every summer.
B
I'm Lisa from Guangming School. Here is a question for you. Do you know yourself? In fact, it is important to know our good and bad points
because
knowing them will help us to be better. We should learn
who
we are. First, we should know our good and bad points. For example, I am
helpful
(help), so I am always ready to help others. I'm also
friendly
(friend) and polite. And I can follow the rules in our school. Besides, I always look on the bright side of things. These
are
(be) my good points.
At
the same time, I have bad points too. I'm a little stubborn(固执的) and want everything
to go
(go) in my own way. Sometimes I do things lazily as well. On Saturdays I stay at home, only
watching
(watch) TV and eating junk food. Moreover, my room is
messy
(mess) at weekends. To be honest, I'm not ashamed(羞耻的) to tell you these bad points. As far as I know, knowing what they are lets me better myself.
After all, nobody is perfect. Knowing ourselves is important. It is the
best
(good) way to better ourselves. What's your idea?
