【正文】 first he tried to make a different symbol for every word in the Cherokee language. But in that case, there would be so many symbols and too hard for people to remember, so he decided to make a picture for each syllable (音節(jié) ). After much hard work, Sequoyah invented 85 symbols. In order to see whether it would work, he helped his sixyearold daughter Ayoka learn each symbol and found she could learn to read and write very quickly. Sequoyah’s invention was a success! Before long, Sequoyah’s writing system had spread far and wide. Cherokee people living in all different parts of the country learned to read and write. In 1825, Sequoyah’s system was made the official written language for Cherokee people. To this day, Cherokee speakers still use Sequoyah’s writing system. In some parts of the United States, you can see street signs and billboards written in both English and Cherokee.

She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division (除法 ) problem. Division was my weakest subject. I repeatedly put the numbers in the 37 pl aces, or fot to add in the zeros. I worriedly 38 myself out of my seat. With every slow step I took, I grew more nervous. My stomach ached, and my whole body shook with 39 . The teacher read the problem aloud.

But this memory is one I remember, surprisingly, in a positive way. It made me 43 , and gave me persistence. When I get a poor grade in school, or am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every single one of those 44 that I asked myself.
