Nothing is impossible if you set your mind on it. My name is Jessica. I come from South Africa. Ten years ago, I began to go to a middle school in the USA because my family moved to California. I was not a smart student and was very quiet. My classmates never wanted to work with me when we had group work because they thought I was hopeless. I lost my confidence (自信), too. Every time I was in listening class, I always copied my friend’s paper, for I couldn’t understand anything.
I tried my best to improve my English by reading a lot of English books and talking with my classmates in English, but it didn’t work well. I felt so frustrated about my English. Some of my classmates often laughed at me.
That hurt me, so I made a big decision in my life. I dropped out of school because I was not really able to learn English at school anymore. I tried to get a job, but with my poor English it was very hard for me. I kept trying and trying. I finally got a job as a salesgirl in a department store.

A new museum about laziness（懒惰） opened in Colombia’s capital, Bogota. But you must hurry if you wanted to see the exhibits and find out about being lazy because the exhibition lasted for only a week. 69. The unusual show showed many things, including sofas, beds and so on. They made people want to have a rest. There were also plenty of televisions for visiting couch potatoes（终日懒散在家看电视的人）to watch while they walked around in the museum. The museum’s opening so soon after the holiday season was not strange. The idea was for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behaviour and lifestyle over the rest of the year. It was a way to make people think about laziness in their high-speed lives.
The museum’s creator, Marcela Arrieta, said she wanted people to think about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She told the Associated Press news agency, “We always think about laziness as an enemy of work.” Ms Arrieta may not be leading a revolution（革命） for a shorter working week, but she could help us know that we might need more free time than our jobs can give us. 70. Keeping away from the pressures（压力） of work and relaxing more may even make us healthier and live longer. Arrieta explained that the exhibition aimed to make people think about how taking a nap, being jobless, or feeling that we are wasting our time affects the society. Try out her advice for yourself: have a good rest and think about being lazy!
