16 Put the verbs in brackets into the infinitive or -ing form. The Letter Standing at my letterbox, I nervously ripped open the creamy white envelope. 'Dear, Sarah Jones', the letter began. "We regret 1) ... to inform... (inform) you that your application has been unsuccessful. I looked up. I couldn't continue 2) (read) any further. Just then my mobile rang. It was my dad. He wanted 3) (find out) if I had got the job. I told him what the letter said. 'Cheer up', he replied. 'If you keep 4) (send) out applications, you will find a job eventually. Can you tell me what they said?' 'What's the use of 5) (read) anymore', I replied disappointedly. I looked down at the letter again. The letter continued; "We do not feel you are experienced enough 6) (work) in our marketing department. However, after 7) (consider) your CV, we would like 8) (offer) you some training for another position in our company. We would be glad 9) (meet) with you to discuss this. We look forward to 10) (hear) from you soon'. 'I suggest 11) (read) all the way to the end next time, sweetheart!', dad said.
My teaching philosophy is to be passionate, enthusiastic, and engaging every time that I give a lecture so students are excited to learn more about the topic and become active learners. I don’t try to be the favorite teacher. Instead, I want to help the students to become self-sufficient, as scientists and physicians at the forefront of the field for the next half-century. I am most proud when I can make a positive difference in someone’s academic career and see the amazing accomplishments of those whom I have mentored. I truly believe that the future is in the hands of the students we lead toward careers as scientists and physicians. While in research we are only as good as our last experiment, the students we mentor and their future students are a legacy that will endure. Finally, Henry Ford once said, “anyone who stops learning is old, whether at age 20 or 80”. I truly believe learning is a lifelong process and my role as an educator is to instill lifelong learning in all my students
Here are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season is beautiful in its own way.
When spring comes nature awakens from its long winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter. The ground is covered with emeraldgreen grass and spring flowers. The air is fresh, the sky is blue and cloudless, and the sun shines brightly. The trees are in full blossom. The nightingale begins to sing its lovely songs, and sweet melodies may be heard from every wood and park. The days are warm and everything is full of life and joy.
Spring is followed by summer. The weather is usually fine in summer, but it can be very hot, especially in July. Sometimes there are storms with thunder and lightning. In summer people try to get away from the city noise and spend more time in the open air. They pick mushrooms and berries in the forest, swim in the rivers and lakes, go fishing and boating. Most people prefer to have their holidays in summer.
Autumn begins in September. The days become shorter and the nights become longer. The leaves turn yellow, red and brown and fall to the ground. Most birds fly away to warm countries. There's a short spell of dry sunny weather in September which is called Indian Summer. It's a beautiful time when the sky is cloudless, the trees around are golden, the air is transparent and it's still warm. But gradually it gets colder and colder. It often rains in October and November which makes autumn an unpleasant season.
In winter the sun sets early and rises late. The rivers and lakes are frozen over. Everything is covered with snow. Sometimes it's very cold, about 25-30 degrees below zero. Going out in such weather isn't very pleasant. Winter is a good time for sports. People go in for skating and skiing. Tobogganing is also popular, not as a kind of sports, but rather as fun.
As for me, I like all seasons, but I think there's nothing like late spring.
