The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had to got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would bee out of work.The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:“ The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress,until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.”It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there,. In fact as Nelson Mandela said:“… We were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful。鐵軌如今成了一條條廢鋼。在市內(nèi)，有些建筑物里的水管爆裂開來。在山谷里，五彩斑斕的蝴蝶翩翩飛舞在我們身旁，我們還看到牦牛和羊群在吃草。有時，這條河形成瀑布進(jìn)入寬闊的峽谷。盡管她對到某些地方的最佳路線并不清楚，她卻堅持要把這次旅行安排的盡善盡美。美國是一個大國，有著許許多多彼此不同的方言。比如，印度就有很多人說英語說得很流利，因為在1765年到1947年之間英國統(tǒng)治著印度。以英語作為母語的人，即使他們所講不是同一種英語，他們也能彼此聽懂。但是因為月光太亮了，我都不敢打開窗戶。 在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，安妮住在荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹。你的安妮USING LANGUAGE 語言應(yīng)用Dear Miss Wang, I am having some trouble with my classmates at the moment. I’m getting along well with a boy in my class. We often do homework together and we enjoy helping each other. We have bee really good friends. But other students have started gossiping. They say that this boy and I have fallen in love. This has made me angry. I don’t want to end the friendship, but I hate others gossiping. What should I do? Yours, Lisa 親愛的王小姐：現(xiàn)在我同班上的同學(xué)有些麻煩事。后來，大約在公元800年至1150年之間，英語慢慢變得不那么像德語，因為統(tǒng)治英格蘭的那些人開始是說丹麥語，后來說法語。Using languageSTANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTSWhat is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expected to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak. When people use words and expressions different from the “standard language”, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the Midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighboring towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have e from all over the world. Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialects as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other’s dialects.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語和方言什么是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語？是在英國、美國、加拿大、澳大利亞、印度、新西蘭所說的英語嗎？信不信由你，（世界上）沒有什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語。 my sister doesn39。她給了我一個堅定的眼神—這種眼神表明她是不會改變主意的。最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中國南海。（夜晚）非常安靜——幾乎沒有風(fēng)，只有篝火的火焰和我們做伴。一條8公里長30米寬的巨大裂縫橫穿房舍、馬路和渠道。接著，在下午晚些時候，又一次和第一次一樣的強(qiáng)烈的地震震撼著唐山。（當(dāng)時）我才12歲，那是在1952年，曼德拉是我尋求幫助的一位黑人律師?！彼f的是真話。但當(dāng)我到達(dá)時，曼德拉也在那里，他又幫了我。在此期間，我的妻兒只能從親戚朋友處討飯吃，并祈求幫助。你必須努力，當(dāng)有一天驀然回首時，你的回憶里才會多一些色彩斑斕，少一些蒼白無力。 現(xiàn)在我還能給參觀者介紹有關(guān)監(jiān)獄的情況，為此我感到非常驕傲，因為我曾經(jīng)為黑人在自己的國土上爭取權(quán)利而奮斗過。后來，曼德拉先生讓獄警加入我們。事實(shí)上，就像拉爾遜我既不太會讀，也不怎么會寫。地震后不久
