Sometimes, I have to make _explanation.Chopsticks are _my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant. In fact, learning_to use chopsticks take me_a few weeks.

I dont know how I can ever thank all of the people who introduced me to eating in Asia This was what all of the training and pain was about-winning. I watched TV to see the young runner who had been under my_for the last few years. I would have been there on the spot_the traffic problem. I couldnt _even on my bicycle. While I watched the young runner enter to the cheers of thousands of people, I could not help_of the pains that he had gone through in his training. The young runner was hardly considered to be_when he first came to me. There were countless training_full of pain for him. I had seen fatigue (疲倦) written on his face. I had heard him_at me.

Your fate could have been_different if you had been given a different name at your birth. Some of us_that our name does not necessarily fit and start using a different name_the one we were given. Many of us_use our middle name so we can be true to our parents and at the same time be more confident. Some people who have changed their name_that their professional lives improved.
