One day Jack’s wife was cleaning out a closet（壁櫥）.
“Look at all these umbrellas,” she said to Jack. “There are eight and they are all broken.”
“I’ll take them to the umbrella shop and have them mended,” Jack said.
Jack took the eight umbrellas to the shop and left them there. “They’ll be ready tomorrow,” the shopkeeper said.

第二篇
When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures（手勢）.People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.
Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.

當我們想告訴其他人我們所想的的時候，我們可以用語言來實現，我們也可以用許多其他的方法來實現。有時我們通過點頭表示“是”， 我們通過搖頭表示“不是”。有些聾人或啞巴通過手勢與別人交流。有些不懂本國語言的外國人必須通過手勢與別人交流。
這裏有壹個故事。壹個美國人曾經到意大利度假，但是他不會講意大利語。壹天他去壹家餐館並坐在壹張餐桌的旁邊。當服務員來的時候，美國人張開嘴並多次把手指放在最裏再拿出來，以這種方法表示他想說“給我拿點吃的來”。過壹會服務員把壹杯茶帶給他，美國人搖頭表示不是的，服務員明白了他不需要茶。於是服務員把它拿走，再拿壹杯牛奶給他，美國人再次搖頭，他現在餓極了和看上去很痛苦。他正要離開餐館，這時另壹個男人進了餐館。當這個男人看到服務員的時候，他把手放在胃部，幾分鐘後就有壹大盤面包和肉被放在他的餐桌上。
