7、%chance of developing cancer of the digestive system.At age 19,right after finishing high-school,Juan underwent a tough operation to take away his colon and rectum.Sadly,it was only the beginning.By age 28,Juans disease had affected his stomach and gallbladder so he had to go under the knife again.H

8、aving just recovered from several serious surgeries,Juan Dual decided to accept the invitation of some friends of his parents and travel to Japan.It was there that things started to change for the better.He didnt speak a word of Japanese,so he spent most of his time walking his dog.One day,the dog p

15、some students feel that the compulsory study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to students,particularly if they are second language learners of English.However,there are still good reasons for the study of English literature.Students of English language sometimes fail to see the

22、rom which the students can approach their studies in particular and their lives in general.So the next time you are reading a newspaper article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative in the local workforce,remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a r

27、to show us.People usually only post photos where they are looking their best.They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time.No one seems sad or lonely.In short,life isfabulous.But sooner or later,our young people compare their real life to it.They find that theirs doesnt s
