"I feel-happy, honored and pleased to be the first Ecuadorian to receive this award and also to be the first Latin American to receive it. It is a very important thing. It fills me with pride and happiness," said Bonilla, visibly moved.

"I am writing about China, a country that I fell in love with when I had the opportunity to get to know it because I want the children of the world to get to know China," Bonilla said, adding that all the work and effort she has put into her work pays off.

Saa said that Bonilla's work is an example of the value of culture as' a means of union between peoples. "Our countries have managed to develop an active cultural diplomacy and a powerful soft power tool that has contributed to mutual understanding."

In congratulation, Chinese Ambassador Chen Guoyou said that Bonilla received the well-deserved award thanks to her long-term dedication to promoting Chinese culture to Ecuadorian children.

"Recent years have witnessed the growing dynamism in the cultural exchange between the two nations through contacts in culture, science, technology, sports, education, among others," Chen said, noting that relations between China and Ecuador are at the best moment in history.

The Ecuadorian writer has so far translated three of her 83 books into Chinese.

When I was a child, my family went to the beach often. However, we 1  played in the sand or swam in the ocean. Nature was to be 2  far away, with the car windscreen in between. We would wave to the sea from our 3 , watch the sunset and drive home. My parents were 4  in crowded and polluted cities. Their upbringing made them think maybe it was 5  for kids to stay inside. Without knowing it, I was 6  by their attitudes.

It was my own children who led me to another 7 . They liked observing earthworms and jumping in mud; their such 8  about the natural world allowed me to see it in a 9  way. On beach trips, I found myself 10  to dig into the sand with them and 11  its cool graininess (颗粒感) as they buried me in it.

Last summer, my love for 12 led to us buying a house in a farming town near a mountain. It's something I wouldn't have 13 as a city girl. I've found a deeper connection to nature and I'm grateful for it. There are miles of tracks around us that I 14 every day. I walk through snow, mud and rain, 15 my boots — which I bring straight into the house.

Patience is something that many of us struggle with. I know that I am certainly one who has a hard time dealing with delays. After all, we live in a world of instant satisfaction and overnight shipping. We can have anything that we want delivered to our doorstep right away. We can pick from a variety of entertainment options at any given moment. 

The truth of the matter is, however, that anything good rarely happens quickly.  You have to develop your patience over time by taking real action. This applies to a number of things: launching a business, waiting to go to an event, or striving to achieve your personal goals.

Here are a few tips to help you become more patient:

Make yourself wait on things. This can include eating, purchasing items, or taking any sort of action.  It will help you increase your current patience levels and become less anxious moving forward. Try it.

Sometimes pause actually means there is hope. Perhaps you'll meet a lot of wonderful people while waiting in line, or you will find that something put off is actually better in the future.

Understand that life is full of delays.  If there were delays, we would all have to accept. Ups and downs are what build character, and often, the longer we wait, the more we enjoy it. So wait it out with the best of them.

A. It usually takes a lot of work and a long wait.

B. The more patient you are, the luckier you become.

C. Teach yourself to look on the bright side of delays.

D. There is no one straight path to happiness or success.

E. Being patient is a must if you want to achieve success.

F. As a result, being patient has become increasingly difficult for most of us.

G. Work to overcome whatever makes you anxious and force yourself to wait.

Actor Anthony Anderson has realized a dream 30 years in the making. The 51-year-old1 a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Howard University last week. "It was all a dream! Words fail to 2 the feeling I'm having right now," Anderson wrote on a social media platform. "My proudest moment is a sense of 3 — finishing what I started many years ago."

Anderson finished his junior year at Howard 30 years ago. 4  some financial difficulties, he had to ask for a 5  from school. He worked hard to make a 6 . Later he started a family and his career 7 . He played the starring roles in many films and became a

8 . The following years he was occupied in his work and didn't return to school. It was something he always felt 9 about — until his son, Nathan, gained 10 to Howard four years ago. That inspired his longing for university study, so he was 11 to go back and finish his degree.

"This spring I was 12 able to finish the work to graduate from Howard University," Anderson said. He marked it as a 13 by calling it "a full-circle moment" and 14 his fans, "It's never too late. Things happen when they're supposed to happen!" Anderson, now a father of two, plans to 15 his education and go to graduate school for a master's degree.
