My odyssey of interpreting Adele’s Rolling in the Deep commenced not with musical ambition but linguistic
desperation. Having plateaued at IELTS 6.5 for three consecutive attempts, I 1 upon this soul-stricken
anthem as a last-ditch effort to conquer the elusive realm of 2 English prosody, where semantic precision
collides with raw emotional articulation.
The opening verse proved deceptively treacherous. While the lexical simplicity of “There’s a fire starting in my
heart” 3 novice learners, its delivery demands microsecond control over glottal stops — a phonetic
subtlety 4 in Mandarin’s syllable-timed structure. My vocal coach, observing my mechanical replication,
remarked dryly: “You’re enunciating fire, not 5 it.” This epiphany triggered weeks of 6
experimentation with breath control, discovering how alveolar taps in “reaching a fever pitch” could 7 cardiac
palpitations when executed with Darwinian attention to evolutionary psychology of mating calls.
Cultural deciphering posed greater labyrinths. The metaphoric “rolling in the deep” initially conjured oceanic imagery
until contextual analysis revealed its 8 to the African-American gospel tradition’s spiritual “deep waters”. This
realization necessitated 9 the song’s architecture through the prism of blues history, where call-and-
response patterns in the bridge (“Throw your soul through every open door”) mirror West African 10 rituals.
My breakthrough emerged not from sheet music but from archival footage of chain gang work songs, their polyrhythmic
groans 11 Adele’s melismatic phrasing.
The ultimate revelation occurred during a karaoke showdown in Camden. When my 12 rendition
unexpectedly silenced the room, I grasped the song’s alchemical power: its 13 lies not in technical
perfection but in vulnerability’s raw currency. As the final “we could have had it all” 14 through smoke-
filled air, I understood language acquisition as 15 — a negotiated settlement between phonetic accuracy
and emotional authenticity.

I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t? But 1 were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky,
and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to
2
it, so I did.
When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don’t “
3
” the way I had thought. Instead, they
move — with a clear
4
in mind. They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops.
There is no such thing as a
5
, but they are working out 24-7. Maybe I could take
6
from these
people and add meaning to my exercising. So, I launched my
7
program: “chicken-cising,” with 15 baby
chicks and a book on
8
backyard chickens.
It turned out that caring for the flightless birds was quite
9
— a full-body workout involving bending,
squatting (深蹲), weightlifting and running around. One weekend, my e-watch
10
as many as 145 squats
and 10,506 steps!
I ended up in better shape than expected and found extra
11
that no gym workout can provide. First,
quitting is not a(n)
12
: You can’t put on your “chicken-cise” clothes, sit for a while, and then simply
decide not to
13
, especially when your feathered friends depend on you to survive. Second, you have
unbeatable workout partners, who
14
respond to your appearance with encouragement. Bah-Baaaahk!
What’s more? Fresh-from-the-hen eggs!
Turning every breakfast into a celebration of my new lifestyle with the best eggs, “chicken-cising” taught me that
movement doesn’t need a gym — it needs

Three months into my Ph. D．program in the U. S. , having come from Nigeria, I confidently explained tissue images
in a histology (组织学) class — but my group members just ignored my answers. When the professor said I was right,
no one 1 it. I was confused. A tutor later said, “Sometimes people struggle to believe something said with a
2 accent. ” Her words were 3 — was my voice marked to remain unheard?
That experience crushed my confidence. I began 4 in group discussions, afraid of being rejected again. By
the end of my first year, I felt 5 by my own voice. Yet beneath the unfading doubt, a quiet desire stirred — I 6
to engage fully and see my ideas valued.
I decided to regain control - not by changing who I was, but by adjusting 7 I communicated. I began to slow
down, pace my speech, and speak more clearly. Slowly, these 8 helped me engage better with others. In a
writing class, I 9 spoke up with suggestions to improve a proposal. My colleagues’ positive response
confirmed that my ideas

, regardless of my accent.
This
1 1
was not just about how I sounded-it was about rebuilding trust in my own knowledge. Over time, I
stopped seeing my accent as a
1 2
and owned it as part of my identity.
By the time I searched for a new position, I no longer
1 3
accepted what was offered. I asked questions, 1 4
for my needs, and shaped my own path. I’ve learned my accent is no longer something to
1 5
, but
something to celebrate.

A couple walked through the cold night, seeking shelter. The father-to-be scanned the roadside for some home where
his struggling
1
might rest safely. He looked over at her frequently. She walked with difficulty, her way
made
2
by the new life growing inside her. They needed a warm place safe from the
3
wind.
Their names were not Mary and Joseph, but Pepper and Cooper. Nor were they man and wife, but rather a pair of
beagles (小猎犬).
Gus was driving home when he

the pair in the flash of his headlights. It was difficult to see for the snow,
but he could tell the dogs were wearing tags. What were they doing out here? He pulled over to check it out. Gus bent
down and stretched out his hands to the beagles, which made no effort to 5 .
Gus read their tags and tried to call the number listed, but it was snowing so hard that his screen

asked him to bring them home. They laid out food and water for the dogs. The exhausted animals lay together,

11
lifting his head to fuss over Pepper. Keeping this pair was
12
since they
already had a dog.
The next day, Katie took the dogs to the shelter to drop them off. “I’m not signing the dogs over to you if you’re
going to
13
them,” she said. And the shelter workers promised her they’d keep the couple together. In
the days following, Katie phoned the shelter
14
to check up on the couple. Eventually, the beagles were
adopted as a pair. When kindness and love triumph over
15
and neglect, it can feel like the greatest
miracle of all.

On a gray winter afternoon, I was pruning (修剪) my apple tree in my dooryard when a neighbor slowly drove by,
carefully
1
me and shook her head with a hint of
2
as if to say, “Doesn’t he know this is
winter?”
Of course I do. People like to

a garden when things are thriving, blooming and setting fruit. But in
winter, once trees have lost their

5
new work that needs to
be done, especially those water sprouts (徒长枝) that need pruning.
As I worked in the cold, my mind wandered to a student in my classroom garden. I gave him well-deserved
6
because of his excellent grades and active class participation. But one day, I noticed him lingering (徘徊) after class,
rather
7
. I invited him to talk with me. As I listened, I realized this capable, bright student had simply taken
on too much. His course load was overgrown and needed

parenting.

to thrive. So I handled
him with the
11
care I would give the
12
in my dooryard: I helped him to prune away the
13
courses he was carrying and eased his anxiety. I could tell one day this young man would eventually
bloom.
You see, it’s not
14
to pay attention to others when things are not going well. But winter comes to
everyone. How do we handle it? The path of least resistance is to
15
rather than reach out.

simply to earn some extra cash, the connections and memories there far

One memorable moment came when a local theater manager

charge for it. Later, the manager

I grew particularly fond of the interactions with some elderly customers. They showed genuine concern for me, often
asking if I was tired after a long shift. One

selected an ice cream carefully and declared we

the best one in the city.
Then there was the one who frequently visited,

about our chocolate orange ice cream flavor, which we
only offered during Christmas. Despite my 1
0
“no,” his persistence became a source of joy on my tiring
days, a reminder of the simple 11 in busy life. Every day, I experienced distinct happiness even though I
had numerous tasks to 1
2
there.
As fall approaches, my schoolwork becomes more 1

However, I’ll miss the summer 1

and the interactions there. The experience has 1

bond with the community, which will last till the end of this year. Hopefully, the orange chocolate ice cream will
return then.

My high school experience was an exercise in frustration for everyone involved. I was in a lot of high-level classes
because my test scores were 1 , especially in languages. I never got less than an A on any language 2 —
English, Spanish or French. Even a score under 95% was very 3 .
However, most of my language teachers found this 4 rather than encouraging because I didn’t pay
attention in class — I drew during lectures and my homework grades were terrible 5 me almost never
handing anything in. As an adult, I think many of them believed I had to be cheating, especially the one who 6
to give me a bonus point on a test that would have raised my average score to an A for the quarter because I was not
an A student due to my study habits in her eyes.
My mom had a 7 to force me to complete my piles of missing assignments during the last week of each
quarter, so that I didn’t completely 8 my otherwise good grades. I had exactly one Spanish teacher who I
was able to 9 that I really was learning in class, regardless of what my pencil was doing at the moment.
And that was completely 10 .
One day, she asked a general question in class. I was the only one to raise the hand to offer an 11 . I did so,
and she replied in a somewhat 12 tone that I was correct. Why so surprised? Because at no point in this
process did I look up from the 13 I was working on with my other hand. I didn’t think she figured out that
the drawing was 14 helping me pay attention, but she at least realized it wasn’t damaging anything and
stopped 35 me when she caught me drawing instead of taking notes.

When my family moved from New Orleans to Chicago, the freezing February wind made me miss our sunny balcony
garden. The city was vast and impersonal, with its towering buildings and
1
faces. Everything felt
2
until Mom joined a community garden project.
On the first Saturday, I paced slowly behind her,
3
my shoes, feeling like an outsider who didn’t belong.
The garden was full of people — a Mexican grandmother teaching kids to plant chili seeds, a Polish couple arguing
about fertilizer ratios (比例). Mrs. Rodriguez handed me a shovel (铲子), her smile

“Solntse! Solntse!” Seeing my

taller than anyone’s. I kept tending them 1

afternoon. At the harvest festival, Mr. Petrov gave me a jar of seeds, whispering “Med… for your hardworking 1

more than fruits.”
Now, when neighbors 14 gardening tips, I see roots connecting beneath the soil. We’re all sowing
seeds of understanding, waiting for the 15 of shared laughter to help them grow.

I had started my academic journey as a university instructor in Ethiopia, where I found considerable satisfaction in
mentoring (指导) students.
However, the 1 opportunities and resources there made it difficult to pursue my own growth, so I went to the
United States for my Ph. D．and postdoc. I assumed success meant 2 a position at a highly research-
related institution.
But during my postdoc, I realized I needed to change my 3 . I am a father of two daughters, one of whom
requires long-term medical care. My modest 4 and limited benefits brought me financial instability and
emotional 5 . Professional stress bled into my home life. In turn, the weight of my personal 6 made
professional setbacks more disastrous. Trapped in this 7 , I began to reconsider my career path.
I applied to several positions, and was delighted when I started to receive invitations to interview. The campus visits
included teaching 8 , discussions about mentoring, and an emphasis on how I would 9 research into
a student-centered environment. Such requirements were 10 but refreshing, helping confirm that I was
heading in the right direction. The students’ engagement and curiosity 11 my passion for mentorship.
And research didn’t disappear — perspectives on it 12 .
I’ve learned to redefine 13 after 2 years into my current position. It isn’t 14 about high-
impact publications or grants (拨款). It’s about asking meaningful research questions, 15 opportunities for
students to grow, and maintaining a balance between professional ambitions and personal well-being.

As an educator with decades of experience, I have always recognized the motivational value of praise. I had thought I
had mastered the approach to giving praise, but recent incidents made me rethink.
While I effortlessly tailor appreciation to adults in my workplace, designing rhymes that delight

requires a
different approach. When little Clara

and this D stands like a soldier! But your E needs to be shorter — let’s

her work, her eyes
4
by my kind-hearted “but”. Though convinced that I was

challenges, I later questioned whether such corrections might

This pattern repeated at home. My husband, who

my load by
preparing lunch. “You’re so
9
!” I began warmly, before adding, “but why drop bread pieces everywhere?” His
smile disappeared — a reaction that 1

That night, an inspiration struck me: replacing “but” with “and” could transform criticism into 1
1
encouragement. To Clara, I say, “I like your tall letters, and I notice how 1

you’re adjusting the E!” To
my husband, I say, “Thank you, and I deeply value your support.” The next morning, I 1

at the double praise; my husband, hearing “and your timing was

Pete is one of the kids who, for nine and a half minutes each day, have to

My father was diagnosed with dementia (痴呆) at 81. There were no sudden or
1
changes in him, but
gradually, he started repeating himself or asking questions to which he should have known the answers. Instead of
thinking about it constantly, Dad accepted the situation and practically
2
it. He voluntarily gave up his car
keys before anyone had to ask. He had seen how the disease affected two of his siblings (兄弟姐妹), but he never
let a sense of doom (劫数) control how he
3
each day.
As a former journalist. it was natural for him to decide to
4
his experience. He pitched (扔，投) the idea
to the local newspaper Halifax Chronicle Herald, and over the next six years, nearly 70 of his
5
were
published. Writing the columns gave him a renewed
6
of purpose. In one column, Dad wrote about
remembering all the
7
of a dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, but not the
name of his favorite restaurant.
What surprised him and us most was the attention the columns attracted. Countless friends, acquaintances and
strangers
8
them. People on the street came up to him, thanked him and shared their own stories. What
this revealed was how
9
dementia affected people’s lives. Everyone seemed to have a story about a loved one
dealing with it. People found comfort in reading about his journey, and the columns helped
10
the disease
into the open.
As the disease

, Dad never took himself too seriously. He had always been a keen reader, so Mom
12
to him that he only needed two books: read one, forget it, read the second, and the first would feel new again!
Humor, a positive attitude, and socialization helped delay the worst
13
, but Dad’s condition declined and
he required constant

. His mood became more
15
and emotional, but he remained engaged
and engaging until the end.

The first time I saw the word “retarded” used to describe my son, we were in the neurologist’s office and Jeffrey was
seven months old. Until then, I had 1 that Jeffrey’s turned-in eyes were a minor issue, and that his lack of muscle
control was 2 .
Still, I remember 3 that prognosis (预断), thinking the doctor couldn’t possibly know the outcome with a
baby so 4 . I’ve learnt a lot since then and realize doctors 5 on statistics and averages and look
at symptoms, never getting sidetracked by 6 thinking or hope.
But the word “retarded” 7 me. I hadn’t heard it used to refer to a person’s mental capabilities before and
always regarded it as a(n) 8 . Later, as Jeffrey reached elementary school age, we discovered the term
“mental impairment” had 9 “retarded” in the special education system. 10 it became t
unfashionable, too and less harsh sounding definitions emerged. With MOCI for Moderately Cognitively Impaired
and MCI for Mildly Cognitively Impaired, the schools were 11 to be more precise and less frightening.
Over the years, I’ve also happily noticed parents try not to talk of their children with disabilities by describing their

In the village of Cinque Terre, Italy, 16-year-old Luca spent his days repairing fishing nets with his father, his hands
moving
1
while his mind wandered to the colorful mosaics (马赛克艺术) that decorated the town’s
ancient
2
. Luca dreamed of creating art that told stories, but his father’s words echoed (回响) in his ears:
“ 3 don’t fill empty stomachs, Luca. We are fishermen, not artists.”
One morning, a famous mosaic artist named Sofia arrived in the village. She was there to

aging mosaics, and her presence

Lucas approached her with a sketchbook filled with his

them closely, her eyes widening with
8
. “You have a rare talent,” she said. “But talent alone isn’t enough.
If you are willing to work hard and learn, I’ll teach you.”
Torn between duty and passion, Luca made a
9
choice. He rose before dawn to work on mosaics, while
afternoons were spent dragging
10
with his father. Sofia taught him not just
11
but also
how to see the world through an artist’s eyes. Gradually, Luca’s art began to

blue and gold mixed with the tough and worn look of fisher men’s hands.
