25、 need to take a year for that. I need to take some money before starting university. Fair enough. But dont decide to get a full-time job.

When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting as the first one. I added another, and we kept at this patter

31、n for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who owned the fence, saw me.

32、tes on the fence. Without saying a word, he said something to himself and then went back inside.

38、n some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all-whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.

39、es a far larger number people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “l(fā)ow” work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.
