used to精讲精练

在学习used to的用法之前,我们一起来看这封信吧! Dear Mrs Smith． I was a student of yours in Grade Nine. I know I used to be quiet in your class, and you never said much to me. But you did something that made a big difference in my life. You see, all through my two years in school, I used to hate reading. Books were just words that had very little to do with me, and I used to be bored by them. I＇ll never forget the first day of Grade Nine when you took out a thick book and began to read a story to our class.

我相信……

For you my friend... I believe-that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe-that no matter how good a friend is they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I believe-that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I believe-that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.I believe-that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.I believe-that you can keep going long after you can't.I believe-that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.I believe-that either you control your attitude or it controls you. I believe-that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
