As we gathered at the starting point on that sunny but breezy morning, we2 our bikes nervously, checking the gears and brakes one last time. "Are you sure you won't get annoyed if I3 a bit slower?" she asked, her eyes filled with a mix of excitement and worry. She had only started4 on weekends a month ago. "Of course not," I reassured her with a smile.

When the starting horn5, Lily pedaled off steadily. At first, I stayed right beside her, chatting and enjoying the scenery. But as the road opened up and the wind seemed to push me forward, my competitive side took over. I gradually6 my speed, thinking she would catch up. After a few miles, I looked back, and Lily was no longer in my line of sight. I kept going, pushing myself harder, and crossed the finish line in a7 time of just under an hour. I felt a rush of pride, despite not having trained intensively.

Lily arrived at the finish line almost twenty minutes later, her face red and tired. She was clearly8, feeling that she had let me down. I couldn't believe she thought that way. I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her for even finishing the race.

Determined to improve, Lily made a plan. She decided to cycle to work three times a week and9 to participate in more cycling events. I watched her10 early in the morning, even when it was foggy or drizzling. I saw her face strong headwinds and deal with flat tires on the11 country roads. There were times when she was12 by steep hills and wanted to give up, but she never did.

Finally, the day of the big regional cycling race came. This time, I made up my mind to stay with her. We pedaled side by side, encouraging each other. When we were about to reach the finish line, Lily found some extra strength and13 ahead. She crossed the line just a few seconds before me, her eyes shining with joy and14. She had not only overcome her own self - doubt but also achieved a goal she once thought was impossible. Her15 legs from hours of cycling didn't seem to bother her at all; all that mattered was the sense of accomplishment she felt.

The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs.

Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures.

Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot.

With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home.

These metrics are good at identifying influencers with a wide audience reach, but they struggle to distinguish between influencers who can drive actual sales and those who only generate surface-level engagement. For example, an influencer might have a high number of followers and a seemingly impressive engagement rate, but their audience may not be the right target for a particular brand's products. This means that a brand could invest heavily in an influencer campaign based on these metrics, only to see minimal return on investment.

This limitation may not be a major concern for brands that focus on increasing brand awareness in a broad sense. But for those aiming to achieve specific business goals, such as driving e-commerce sales or boosting product sign-ups, it can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities.

In their current form, these effectiveness metrics have several drawbacks. First, follower count can be inflated through fake followers or bots, creating a false impression of an influencer's reach. Engagement rates can also be misleading, as some influencers may use tactics like "like-for-like" exchanges or buy fake comments to artificially boost numbers. Moreover, the concept of reach doesn't consider the quality of the audience reached. A large reach among an uninterested or mismatched audience is of little value to a brand.

To address these issues and provide brands with a more accurate understanding of an influencer's true value, several solutions can be considered. One approach is to analyze an influencer's audience demographics in more detail. Brands should look beyond basic metrics and study factors such as the age, gender, location, interests, and purchasing behavior of an influencer's followers. By doing so, they can determine whether the influencer's audience aligns with their target market.

Another key measure is to track the actual conversion rates resulting from influencer campaigns. Instead of relying solely on engagement and reach, brands should monitor how many clicks, purchases, or sign-ups an influencer drives. This data provides a more direct indication of an influencer's ability to generate business results. Additionally, brands can conduct A/B testing, comparing the performance of different influencers or influencer strategies, to identify the most effective approaches.

While these effectiveness metrics alone can't ensure the success of influencer marketing campaigns, implementing these improvements can make the evaluation process more reliable. This, in turn, helps brands make more informed decisions, optimize their marketing budgets, and achieve better results from influencer partnerships.

This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion. Doctors couldn't directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once- mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy feeling in my mouth that I couldn't ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn't sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough, after two decades of indulgence.

Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there's no official "fried chicken addiction" listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research center mentions two main elements: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content triggers the release of endorphins in the brain, making us feel good, while the unique blend of spices stimulates our taste buds, making us want more.

Now, I'm on Day 35 of my "fried-chicken-free" journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings and even felt a bit down at times, almost like going through a mild withdrawal. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I'm really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life.

When I was teaching art and craft classes in a primary school, there was a wonderful tradition of exchanging handwork as gifts on New Year's Eve. As the great day approached, the excitement among my twenty-five third graders began to build.

Each day the children made some new wonders — colorful lanterns, hand-made decorations and beautiful window paper-cuts made from wallpaper samples, which we carefully stuck onto the window glass. Through it all, Alice stayed uninterested, watching from a distance, seemingly miles away. This once-so-happy child, after her mum passed away, now became so suddenly quiet and lonely. She had built the wall of isolation (孤立) around herself. How I hoped the celebrations would light her up! But nothing did. We made lovely cards for each other, writing down sweet wishes. At home, the students made small crafts and competed with one another to bring in the prettiest ones. As my gift to them, I made each of my students a little bag for carrying their crafts. And I knew they had each made something special for me.

The day of gift exchanging finally came. We oohed and aahed (赞叹) over our handwork as the presents were exchanged. But Alice sat quietly watching. I had made a special bag for her, red and blue with white lace, hoping very much to see her smile. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she turned away, avoiding looking directly at me.

After school, the children left in little groups, but she hesitated, watching them go out of the door. I sat down in a chair, hardly knowing what was happening when she came to me reaching out her hands, holding a small white box unwrapped and slightly dirty, as though it had been held many times by unwashed, childish hands. She said nothing.
