Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times,but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent.Moreover,my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
   I hesitated.How would I,unable to speak the language,totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system,conduct interviews and do research?It seemed impossible,and with considerable regret,I sat down to write a letter rejecting the job.Suddenly a thought ran through my mind:you can't learn if you don't try.So I accepted the assignment.
   There were some bad moments.But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler.And ever since,I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote places,without guides or even advanced bookings,confident that somehow I will manage.
   The point is that the new,along with the different,is almost scary by definition.But each time you try something,you learn,and as the learning piles up,the world opens to you.
   I've learned to ski at 40,and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon.And I know I'll go on doing such things.It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others.I'm not.But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.

  • 2.Friendship is something that everyone needs.Success is nothing without friends.You share life,happiness and sadness.A friend is someone you can depend on in a time of need and that can trust you with every secret he or she has.
       So,what happens when a friendship of eight years is broken over something out of their control?Does that mean it was never a true friendship to begin with?
       My friend and I met in high school and have known each other for nearly eight years.What happened recently broke our lifelong friendship.
       This makes me think about what friendship really means.I always thought my friend and I could get through any argument,fight,or the sadness of life.We promised each other we'd always be friends,through thick and thin.We even joked about how we would sit in a circle and laugh at some jokes when we had grandchildren.We always laughed at every little thing.
       But then her grandfather passed away (去世) and suddenly our friendship was nothing.It happened so suddenly that I never found out about it until I discovered a note she had written on the Internet.I was sad and hurt that she would post (發(fā)帖子) what I told her for other people to see.I understand that she was sad and wanted to vent (發(fā)泄) her sadness,but I wish she'd kept everything between us.
       I don't understand why she broke our friendship,and I don't think I ever will.I think friendship means we'll always forgive each other for our mistakes.I hope that finally I'll find that true friend who will always be there for me,and I there for her.
