A long time ago，there lived a famous philosopher（哲学家） named Zun-Nun．One day，a young man came to visit him and asked，"Teacher，I do not understand why people like you dress in such a way．Isn't it necessary to dress well?"

The philosopher only smiled and took his ring from one of his fingers，and said，"I will answer your question，but first do one thing for me．Take this ring and go to the market．Can you sell this for ten gold coins?"

Looking at Zun-Nun’s dirty ring，the young man became doubtful and replied，"Ten gold coins．'? 83I am not sure this ring could be sold at that price．"

The young man went to the market and showed the ring to the cloth，vegetable，meat and fish traders （商人）．No one was willing to pay ten gold coins．He went back and said，"Teacher，no one was willing to offer more than one gold coin．"

With a calm smile Zun-Nun said，"Now go to the gold shop and show it to the owner．84 Don't give your price，just listen to how much he will pay for this ring．"

The young man went to the shop and returned with a big smile．"Teacher，those traders really don't know the value（价值） of the ring．The gold trader offered one thousand gold coins for it．"

Zun-Nun said softly，"This is the answer to your question，my friend．A person cannot be valued only from his dress．"

If you have a problem with speaking, you can do several things. Listen to English as much as possible. You can learn a poem(诗) or a song by heart. You can also learn more dialogues（对话）. And practice speaking with your friends as much as you can.

Many people find it difficult to listen to English. The answer is to listen as much as you can. However, don’t do too much at one time. It is better to practice listening for five minutes every day. Don’t sit down and listen for an hour at a time. That’s too much! Do choose listening passages that are interesting and not too difficult. Choose（选择） tapes（磁带） on which the people speak clearly and not too fast. Take it easy， at first. Success with simple tapes at the beginning is the answer. Later on you can practice with tapes that are more difficult.

Finally, how can you learn to write well? How do you use little words like in, on, of and for? There are two answers to this. First, do some study with new words. Keep a list of verbs like look for, look after and so on. Second, read as much English as possible. There are many things that can’t be learnt. You must see them in books many times. Then you’ll be able to use them correctly(正确地) yourself. So, in order to write well, you must first learn to read much.

  Many people go to school for a good education. They learn languages ,history, maths and other subjects. School education is very important and useful, yet no one can learn everything from school. No matter how much a teacher knows, he can’t teach his students everything they want to know. His work is to show his students how to learn.He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite easy to learn something in language or formula (公式 )in maths, but it is difficult to use a formula to find the answer to a maths problem. Great inventors do not get everything from school, but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. Though Thomas Edison invented many things, he didn’t have much school education. How do they do all this ? A lot of things are not taught in the classroom. They get knowledge( 知识 ) from books outside school. They work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their heads.
