Once there was a piano player in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a
lady asked him to sing a song.
“ I don't sing.” said the man.
But the lady told the waiter,“ I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!
The waiter shouted across the room,“ Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!
So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time!
Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
He had talent(天赋 ) that he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a
no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well,
he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was
Nat King Cole.

Last week, we held a class meeting. In the meeting, we talked about how to spend
the weekend meaningfully.
In the past, many students enjoyed themselves at weekends. Internet was their best friend and they almost did everything on the Internet. (Playing computer games and going surfing online
took up most of their free time.) Several hours usually passed by before they knew it. Besides, some other students loved to see a movie when they were free.
However at present, many students choose different activities. Doing some reading or having some sport becomes their first choice at weekends. Some other students prefer to go outing with their family. (Getting close to books or breathing fresh air makes them feel better.) In my opinion, relaxing ourselves through computer games is acceptable, as long as we don spend too much time. Besides, nature can give us too many things to learn about, so we should get closer to nature as much as possible.
