Reviving Oral English with Students

Delicate strokes(笔画), carved onto wood, with ultimate precision. This is woodblock printing,  ancient printing technique that has promoted human civilization.

Certain people are believed (bring) Buddhism into China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907),when there was a strong need to produce a large number of Buddhist scriptures(经文)，and copying by hand could not meet the  (rise) demand. Ancient Chinese craftsmen thus came up with a novel way to create printed works massively. Hence came the (origin) version of woodblock printing.

Traditional woodblock printing can be divided into four major steps: writing, engraving, printing, and binding. With each step then sub-divided into several procedures,  takes roughly 30 steps to produce a woodblock print. Characters and images (carve) to produce raised areas or lines, which calls for skilled hands.

The Buddhist scripture Diamond Sutra, the "earliest dated printed book", can only be seen in the British Library, a lot of Chinese treasures are stored. It is just one example of ancient works of art that not only tells the (wise) of our ancestors, but also is a witness the pursuit of beauty by Chinese craftsmen throughout centuries.

The invention of writing gave life to great thoughts, it was the invention of printing that made knowledge a shareable fruit for all humankind.

In 2015 my husband and I spent some days traveling in Sahara Desert. I was super 1 to ride a camel for the first time and spent a night in a tent in the desert.

2 , the ride started with me hanging upside down from the saddle (鞍) with one3 in the air. Bob, my camel, had decided to stand up4 I could settle in. I held onto the saddle5 as the guide pushed me up onto the camel's back. Bob6 a sound of disapproval and we rode off. I thought it would be bumpy (颠簸的); but it was a very7 journey all the way8 the fact that the camel in front was having a bad case of gas.

After dinner, we returned to the tent for sleep. Even in several thick blankets, I was 9 from head to toe while my husband fell asleep straight away. Thankfully, I drifted into dreamland gradually, only to be 10 by an unusual noise, followed by a(n)11 smell. I tried to go back to sleep, but another unpleasant smell and more 12 , which went on for hours.

After what felt like a 13 night, it was time to rise to watch the sunrise. I dragged my sleepy body out. There, 14 just outside was Bob, who made direct eye contact with me and I promised I 15 a broad grin on his face.

Nowadays, for many people, buying a house or flat is just too expensive. However, the total amount of rent paid by tenants in Britain in 2017 rose to more than 50 billion-more than double the level of ten years prior. Consequently, a lot choose to share the flat.

The pros? People rent a room and share the kitchen, living room and bathroom to save money.You may not even need to ask; just leave an IOU. Additionally, there's the fact that you gain access to their social networks. Living with people means meeting their friends, who may then become your friends.Due to the nature of communal living, you're not just dealing with your own life events. Most likely, there will always be a shoulder to cry on when you need one. But don't forget to pay back when they need it.

Now the cons.In most cases, the kitchen, for example, will be divided up into designated shelves and areas. Worse, many people may not respect these boundaries. You might well come home to find someone steal your milk or shower gel, and no one owns up to it. Furthermore, there are the unexpected guests. If a flatmate forgets to keep you informed of a party they're throwing and it can be challenging for you to have a quiet night.

Some people prefer their own space while other s thrive in a social environment. Regardless, for many who lack the means to buy their own property, a flat-sharing is, and will continue to be, a necessity.

A. Lastly, there's the emotional support.

B. Those flat-sharing can share the secrets.

C. To start with, do you lack private space?

D. There's limited storage space, for a start.

E. Whether the pros outweigh the cons depends.

F. Then what are the pros and cons of flat-sharing?

G. Also, living with others means that you can pool your resources.
