I have been a reporter for fifteen years． I chose this job so that I could travel the world， but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons．My work is sometimes boring but for most of the time it is amazing and inspiring．

In India， I visited a city． There were many homeless children． Some were young and lived in the streets． But then a lady called Rosa opened a home for them． In one whole year， she was looking after two hundred kids，feeding them，teaching them and giving them hope．

Another time，I was in Japan and met a young girl with a serious illness．After seven operations，she had to have thirteen more in hospital．However，when I met her，she was still smiling．

Here in China， after the terrible Wenchuan Earthquake， I found a three-year old boy named Lang Zheng．He had been in the ruins（废墟） for more than ten hours before he was found by the soldiers．Though weak and injured，the brave boy lifted his right hand above his head with difficulty and saluted the soldiers to show his thanks，which became the most moving moment in the disaster（灾难）．

Thanks to the experience as a reporter，I myself am getting braver and stronger．When I face challenges in my life， I always remember the courage（勇气）of these three people．

Earthquakes happen without warning（前兆）．They can happen any time of a day，at any point during the year．When an earthquake is happening，you should know what you should do or not do．

Do not go outside．You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings．If you are outside，stay away from buildings and power lines（输电线）．

Stay under a desk，table，or other strong furniture．Hold on to it．Or stay in a corner of the building．Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing．Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside．

Keep away from windows，pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building，and anything else that could fall and hurt you．Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake，not by the shaking itself．

Also keep away from a fire．You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire．

If you are driving when an earthquake happens，stop the car if it’s safe．Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops，and don’t drive near bridges．Try not to stop by power lines or trees．These could fall and hurt you．

Speaking is different among the four skills in learning English．The other three you can do alone on your own，but you can’t really speak alone．Speaking to yourself can be "dangerous" because men in white coats may come and take you away！Then how can you practice speaking？ Where can you find people to speak English with？

At school-If you pay to go to a language school，you should use the chance to speak．If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs with other students，try to say as much as possible．Don’t worry about your mistakes．Just speak！

Cafes and bars-There are American，British，Irish and Australian bars in many big cities．If you can find one，you will probably meet many people speaking English as their first or second language．

Songs and videos-Repeat the words of an English song singing with the music until it becomes automatic（不假思索）．It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles（肌肉） that you need for English．

Language is all around you--Everywhere you go，you will find language．Shop names，notices，and car numbers……When you walk down the street，practice reading the words and numbers that you see．Say them to yourself．It’s not exactly a conversation，but it will help you to "think" in English．
