A group of frogs were traveling through the woods， and two of them fell into a deep hole. Then the other frogs saw how deep the hole was， they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the hole with all their strength. The other frogs kept telling them to stop， that they were as good as dead. Finally， one of the frogs paid attention to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again， the crowd of frogs yelled to him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out， the other frogs said， “Did you not hear us？” In fact， he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

Speak life to those who cross your path. It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. It is great for a person to take the time to encourage another.

[写作内容]

请写一篇英语短文，内容包括：

练习二：读写任务

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Recently， more students choose to study abroad as they think it is worth going. Although they may give up their own culture， they can really learn from others. Studying abroad can help them expand their horizons， as they will meet and make friends with people from all over the world. So， studying abroad is good for them.

Besides， they will become more mature and independent. Students in their home country usually rely on their parents， just like the Hong Kong students. Statistic shows that Hong Kong students usually rely heavily on their parents； they will just leave the problems alone and ask their parents to solve them. If they study abroad， they have to solve everything on their own； they should learn how to cope with any difficulties. As a result， study abroad brings benefit to them.

On the other hand， some think of it another way. The students may lose their own culture. Since they have moved to a new place， all the things there， people， lifestyle and living environment would be different from their own country. As they will have close contact with local people and culture， they will be influenced by the new culture imperceptivity. It is ironical that a Chinese speaks better English than Chinese and forget what Chinese culture is after studying abroad for a few years.
