14、y begins with a single step,” as the saying goes. However, what it doesnt tell us is that once the journey is started, it might meet with uncertainties, which is the case for Tang Renli, a college student at Nanjing University of Technology, who has been to more than 200 cities in China during four

15、years of college.To share his experiences, Tang has hosted a photo exhibition Play Hooky, Go Travel at the Beijing 798 Art Zone.

23、og world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard.

30、t full isnt full. There always seems to be a little more room. When I was a little boy, I felt that the love I had for my Mom and Dad, and the love they had for me, just filled me up.
