        A farmer was working in the fields.All of a sudden he saw a hare running in the distance,then dash itself against a big stump.The hare was seriously injured and could not move any more.The man came over and picked it up and went home happily.
        Since then the farmer was sitting near the stump,waiting for another hare to appear.But nothing similar happened at all.I

              The story tells us that those who dream of reaping without sowing will achieve nothing.Ironically,there are a lot of people in our life who are unwilling to make painstaking efforts but greedy for success.They tend to trust to chance and luck.
              My previous experiences in study and work have proven that in order to success,first and foremost,one should be both hardworking and persevering.I

                      For example:
                      Li:Hi Neil, how are you?
                      Neil:I'm fine thanks Li, how are you?
                      Li:I'm good. Are you free on Saturday evening? I'm holding a small dinner party.
                      A man checking with his other half
                      Neil:Saturday? Yeah, that would be fantastic but I'd better check with my other half.
                      Li:Your other half? 你说什么,你的另一半?
                      Neil:Yes I'm not sure if my wife has anything planned for Saturday.
                      Li:Oh! I didn't know you call your wife your other half. That's interesting.
                      Neil:Yes. That's a phrase often used by married couples to refer to each other.
                      Li: 原来 other half 就是我们汉语里的“我那位”。Let's hear some more examples:
                      · A: How's your other half? Is she feeling better?
                      · B: Oh yes, she is much better, thanks.
                      · Lady: I like the colour of the car but I should ask my other half before I buy it.
                      · A: Fancy another pint, John?
                      · B: I'd love another pint but I promised my other half I'll be home early.
                      I

                        Neil:So, people often refer to their partner as their other half.
                        Li: Can this phrase be used to refer to both a husband and a wife?
                        Neil: Yes, that's correct. And sometimes a man will refer to his wife as his 'better half'.
                        Li:Better half? 更好的一半?Of course the woman is always the better half! Wouldn't you agree?
                        Neil:Of course! My wife always reminds me that she's my better half!
                        Li:Let's listen to a couple of examples:
                        · A: Oh what a lovely room, you've made a great job of this.
                        · B: Thanks, but compliments should really go to my better half, she chose all the colours and the furniture.
                        · A: Thanks for dinner last night. The food was fantastic!
                        · B: You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun evening. I'm really lucky, my better half is a great cook. I just have to do all the washing up.
                        Li:听出来了 better half 通常都是丈夫用来说妻子的。I'm sure your wife thinks you are the better half although she may not say it.I

                              在形容某人是 under a cloud 的时候意思是此人受到别人的怀疑,认为此人做了什么错事或被卷入了非法活动。
                              例句
                              After 20 years at the company, Sean left suddenly under a cloud.
                              Money was stolen from Jane's desk and now everyone is under a cloud of suspicion.
