【正文】 as afraid of SARS, so I stayed at home with 32 to do. My father brought me a Japanese book. “Why don’t you translate it into Chinese? It will be better than 33 puter games all day.” I promised(許諾) to do 2,000 words each day. But 34 I found it was hard to keep the promise. One day in May, the weather was beautiful. But I couldn’t go out. Those 2,000 words were still 35 me. After translating only three pages, I already lost interest in the book. I looked at it for a long time. But I couldn’t make myself turn the pages. How wished I could just go outside and 36 football with my friends! I counted the words again and again. I just wanted to give up.

If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change.
