                               A

Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didn’t just want a small __26___ in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo ___27___ somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out ___28___ and drew the 1,500-mile route along which I would be ___29___ from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I ___30___ my plans with my dad, he ___ 31___ as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous ___32___ from him, he was all for it.

     I had only been away from my ___33__ three days now, but there was an inner ___34___ going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I ___35___ could make it. The other part of me was ready to ___36___ to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.

     On the road, I met another ___37___ who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey ___38___ by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of ___39___. It encouraged me not to ___40___.

    As I listened to my ___41___ artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was ___42___ around me for miles. ___43___, that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes--- millions of them. My arms were so dotted with ___44___ that they looked like a topographical map (地形圖). But, however ___45___ it would be, nothing could stop my advance towards the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.

In general, I don’t cry very often. But in early August 2011, I did a lot of crying. All these __46__were for one simple reason: I really, really didn’t want to leave China. But, I already had my plane ticket, and my work visa was  __47__, so I had no __48__ but to go back to America.

    For a while, I was __49__ to be reunited with my family, my friends, and most importantly, my dog. I also enjoyed catching up on all the films, TV shows, and music I’d __50__.Soon after I arrived home, I began __51__ with my family and my friends.

They said, “Maybe you can go again next year.” And now here I am, __53__ one whole year teaching oral English at Harbin No. 1 High School.

    My __54__ teaching experience gave me much __55__ that I am now putting to use. I now feel__56__ about my teaching abilities that I even have a teaching philosophy. My philosophy is one simple word: interact. I try to make the students __57__for much more of the class period. I also like to play games in class ,as well as doing art projects, acting, and __58__ having discussions.

　　To teach English as a foreign language in a non-English-speaking country can be quite __59__ at times. I feel it is probably more difficult for students to relate to the material if they are not often __60__ by English. Making things even more difficult is the __61__ that the English they do come across is often __62__, or, while grammatically correct, is not at all native-sounding. This kind of English, I think, can actually be __63__ to students’ learning. __64__,maybe “Chinglish,” both written and spoken, is just one of the __65__ to building a country full of English speakers.
