22、 to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky: “For whom have you prepared all this feast? The man replied: “For all of you. So he ate almost all the best food.

34、amples1) - I dont admire Tortoises cleverness. He was unwise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief, how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all. He was clever, but at the same time he was also stupid. When all the birds became so angry, how coul

35、d he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.- I admire Tortoises cleverness. He was a guy who knew where to look for a nice dinner during a time of famine. He knew very well how to get trust from others. He was also quick-minded. His only mistake was that he shou

36、ld not be so greedy as not to leave any nice food for the birds.-I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise with them to the sky out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was enjoyed by Tortois

37、e, who hadnt been formally invited. I think the birds were very unlucky.- I think the birds are stupid. They knew very well that Tortoisecouldnt be trusted as he was always mischievous. But they persuaded themselves that he was a changed man. At the party they should have let the sky people know Tor

38、toise was not their king and they had the right to have some of the nice food, as they were the guests.2) I learned from the story that a) we should be honest, and shouldnt cheat others. If we cheat others, we will be punished in the end; b) we shouldnt be carried away by sweet words, like the birds

39、; c) a leopard cant change its spots, nor can Tortoise. He was cunning, he could never change his personality and behave himself.

Comparing ExperiencesSample 1In our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by their grandparents, and one was taken care of by his mother because his mother did not work. The two whowere once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children me

45、ntioned in the passage. They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone for some time every day.Sample 2In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents were

46、working far away from home and she had to be on her own for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents.
