In it to win it: Southgate dreams big as England await World Cup draw
ust off the Corniche, the waterfront drag that runs along Doha’s bay to the city, stands the countdown clock, a digital hour glass that lets everybody know – in days, hours, minutes and seconds – how long there is to go until the big kick-off. It was in December 2010 that Qatar was awarded the right to host the 2022 World Cup and, if you rack your memory hard enough, you will still hear the gasps and howls of indignation from the conference hall in Zurich. It is rather closer now – 235 days a...

Kevin De Bruyne
It was a goal worthy of winning the Premier League title, even if it is only January and there are still four months of the season to play. But with Kevin De Bruyne's stunning 70th-minute goal sealing Manchester City's 1-0 win against Chelsea, the reality is that the title race has been settled by a player who, in a league of big-money signings, is absolutely priceless. After this first-versus-second clash, City now sit 13 points clear of Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea following a 12t...

The Hare And The tortoise
The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. “I have never been beaten,” he said, “when I run at full speed, no one is faster than me.” The tortoise said quietly, “I will race with you.” “That is a good joke,” said the hare. “I could dance around you the whole way.” The race started. The hare darted almost out of sight at once. He soon stopped and lay down to have a nap. The tortoise plodded on and on. When the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise was near the fin...

I have a dream
I am happy to join with you. today in what will go down in history ,as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.. 今天，我高兴地同大家一起，参加这次将成为我国历史上为了争取自由而举行的最伟大的示威集会。 Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long ni...

The Neighbour and the Snake
A snake, having made his hole close to the door of a cottage, inflicted a sever bite on the cottager's little son. So the child died. 有条蛇在一家农舍的门边打了个洞，并把主人的小孩咬了一口，孩子就一命呜呼。 This caused much sorrow to his parents. The father decided to kill the snake. The next day, on its coming out of its hole for food, he took up his ax, but, making too much haste to hit the snake, missed its head, and cut off only the end of its tail. 这对夫妇痛不欲生。孩子的父亲决意弄死那条蛇。第二天，当蛇出洞觅食之时，他举起斧头就砍那条蛇。可惜太操之过急，没砍中蛇头，只砍断了尾巴。 Af...
