　　 Li Hua is a young man, my neighbor. Up to now he hasn’t found a job yet. Maybe you wonder why.

　　 He was once advised to learn to use computer, but he thought it was difficult. When he saw others learning English, he shook his head, saying it was too hard to remember the new words. As to science and technology, in his opinion, it was too difficult to understand. What is he fond of? He enjoys watching TV, playing cards, smoking and so on. It’s hard for him to give up all these.

　　 Not long ago, he was eager to seek for a job. When he knew that talents are greatly needed, such as computer engineers, English interpreters and technicians, he sighed and regretted the time he had wasted.
