    The manager expects to meet and talk with successful applicants in Paris in June and July.

    People often go to cafes to relax themselves and keep themselves from falling asleep, but Mr. Healing, a popular cafe chain in South Korea actually does the opposite. Customers can come in, order a drink, lie down a comfortable massage（按摩）chair, and take a nap.

    Many Koreans suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a nap is greatly appreciated. Mr. Healing is the perfect place to go when you're on a short work or school break and you need to catch up on sleep. The cafe offers massage periods in various modes, depending on how much time you have and how you choose to spend it.

    The 20-minute session is priced at $ 3.5, the 30-minute massage costs $ 7, and the 50-minute session is $ 9, all of which also include a drink. Once you make your choice, you are taken to the "healing center". You are asked to take off your shoes as well as any jewelry that might damage the chairs, after which you can choose a massage mode, from "stretch" or "sleep". You can start with stretch for a few minutes, and then switch to sleep if you want to take a short nap. After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee or one of the many other refreshing drinks on the menu.

    Mr. Healing cafes are so popular in Korea that customers are advised to make reservations in advance to be sure that a massage chair is available. "I have to sit on a chair and stare at a computer monitor all day due to my job, the healing room was truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays," said Park Hye-sun, a 24-year-old officer.

    Some have described Mr. Healing and other similar cafes in South Korea as simple fashions, but others see them as a sustainable business model, because they offer a service that Koreans really need.

    I teach English at all levels from 3 to advanced. My classes usually 4 with a fun activity. We play vocabulary and grammar 5. Sometimes we listen to Australian 6 and decide if we like the lyrics(歌词). After we have all 7 up, we move onto the grammar or vocabulary of the day. We 8 it through writing or speaking.

    We 9 on our other skills (reading, writing or listening) in the afternoon, and use these skills to better understand the grammar or vocabulary. 10, at the end of the day, we talk about 11 to live and work in Australia. We discuss the problems, 12 how to understand different accents, new words and make new friends. If there are any problems, we help each other, offering advice and 13.

    General English also offers 14 classes to improve your speaking ability. We offer special grammar and conversation classes, as well as a movie club! You can also come with us to the Opera House, the beach, the zoo or even to a museum.

    It's a great way to 19 all you English skills as well as have a fantastic 20. Maybe I'll see you in my class soon.

    The letter below is from Antoine Leiris, whose wife Helen died in the terror attack in Paris on November 11th. He wrote the letter to her killers. It was 1 written as a Facebook post and has been 2 thousands of times on social media.

    On Friday night you 3 the life of an exceptional being, the love of my life, the4of my son, but you will not have my 5. I don't know who you are 6 I don't want to know -- you are dead souls. I will not give you the gift of hating you. You have obviously 7 it, but responding to it with anger would be to give in to the same ignorance that has made you what you are. You want me to be 8, to cast a mistrusting eye on my fellow citizens, to 9 my freedom for security. You 10. I saw her this morning, finally after nights and days of waiting. My wife was 11 as beautiful as she was when she left on Friday evening, as beautiful as when I fell madly in love with her more than 12 12 ago. Of course, I am heart-broken with 13, but I know that she will join us every day and that we will find each other again in the paradise of free souls which you will never have 14 to. We are only 15, my son and I, but we are more 16 than all the world's armies. 17 any case, I have no time to waste on you. I need to go back to Melvil, who is 18 from his afternoon nap. He is just 17 months old. He will eat his snack like every day and we are going to play like we do every day. In every day of his life, the little boy will 19 you with his 20 and freedom, because you don't have his hatred either.

Hey, man,

    Good to hear from you again. And good timing. Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend, who's 1 one of those rough periods at work. I wish I had better advice.

    You asked, "How do you define success?" What a 2 question!

    In 2005, I made only $22,500 a year in Rocky Mount. Another two sportswriters, Travis and Jeff, in their mid-20s too, had come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount. We went out to 3 our games, and sent the final pages to the printer by our 1:30 a.m. 4. On the best nights, we'd play Wiffle ball in the 5 until 4 a.m., laughing and joking.

    We all left there within a year, as 6. Travis eventually 7 a big-time job covering the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country, with almost 200,00 Twitter 8.

    Last time Jeff and I met, he said something about Rocky Mount. "I didn't 9 it then, but honestly, when I 10, it's probably the best time I've ever had in my career."

    What is success? Buddy, I don't know. On those late nights, it was making good contact on Travis's curve ball. Now it's running a tenth of a mile 11 than I did last week. A year ago, I wrote a story and no readers 12 me about it, which these days is a success. But nobody said anything nice 13, so is it a failure? I don't know.

    College students ask me for 14 every now and then Maybe that's success. But last night an editor at a publication I've been dying to write for 15 with the murderous words "This just isn't the right 16 for us".

    Maybe it's beyond work. In June 2018, my dad visited and made it the whole weekend without falling while 17 to his wheelchair. To another person, 18 success might be a night sleeping on a bench without getting wet. You get the 19.

    Maybe success isn't 20 in achievements; maybe success is a smaller calculation, something more like what Jeff hinted at.

    Thank you for writing, old friend.

Dear Reader,

    I receive so many letters from children that I can't answer them all. That is why I am sending you this printed reply. I'll try to answer some of the 1 asked questions.

    Where did I get the2for CHARLOTTE'S WEB? Well, one day when I was3my way to feed the pig, I began feeling 4for it because most pigs were doomed (注定)to die. This made me sad, so I started thinking of ways to _5a pig's life. I had been watching a spider at her work and was6by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I 7the spider into the story that you know. Three years8I started writing it, it was published.

    Sometimes I'm asked how old I was when I started writing, and what made me write. I started 9—as soon as I could spell. In feet, I can't10any time in my life when I wasn't busy writing. I don't know why, but I think children often find pleasure in trying to11their thoughts on paper, either in12or in pictures.

    Are my stories true, you ask? No, they are imaginary tales,13fantastic characters and events. In real life, a spider doesn't spin (吐丝)words in her web.14, 1 think there is some 15 in my stories—truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.

    Thank you all for your wonderful letters.

Yours sincerely,

My Mommy Is Broken!

Dear Customer Service,

I am writing to you seeking assistance with my Mommy. I received my Mommy in 2019 and was 1 pleased with the model. The first year, she 2 well. She was attentive. She 3 my needs and rarely caused me any grief. However, over the last year, I've noticed gradual changes in her 4.

For example, she used to jump to 5 me from my prison whenever I cried, and we'd retire to her room until morning. Now I receive a 6 yell “Go back to sleep!”

I've also noticed a (an) 7 delay in my Mommy's responsiveness during daylight hours. Before I was about to cry, she used to have many possible 8, including snacks, cuddles, and various funny faces to make me 9. Now she only sighs and 10 her eyes when I throw myself on the floor.

Another cause for concern is my Mommy's 11 feature, which I find is increasingly abnormal. She will ask me questions such as, "Are you ready to wash your hair?" and I'll always say, "No," and still, I 12 a face full of shampoo every time. It's very frustrating. It seems to be more of a 13 with understanding my negative responses. I haven't answered "Yes" about wanting to change a diaper (尿布) , 14 it continues to happen.

As such, I suggest that you take the time to expand your 15 and development to improve the Mommy. I anxiously await any information that might address these issues.

Sincerely,

Reese

Dear Dale,

l have a crush(喜欢)on a girl in my class, but I haven't told her. I know being at high school isn't the best time to start a relationship, but I can't1myself.

Li

Dear Li,

Being a(n)2is normally the time when we begin to think about3 , and everyone always remembers their first 4.

However, there are a few things you should5.

First, you must remember that a senior student's top priority is to study as6 as possible. This means that if two students were to7 a relationship with one another, they may get distracted(分散注意力)from their8.

And9 it might be nice to have a boyfriend or girlfriend to10 your life with, high school relationships don't normally11forever—your final grade will, 12.

Second, you should consider your school's 13. Many schools don't allow their students to have relationships, so keep that in14.

That said, there's no 15that you can't make friends with a person you have a crush on. 16 , the other girl or boy may not even feel the same way about you—but that doesn't mean you can't be good 17.

In the meantime, 18on your studies more than your love life—at least until yougraduate from senior high school.

It may seem like you have no 19to do what you want right now. But once all the hard work of being a senior is over, you'll be free to 20 whoever you like.

Dale

Dear my children,

I hope this letter meets you well. I'm sure so far you've had many problems that the knowledge of books can't 1 . Well, I will help you. I am here 2 you, but before we start, let me 3 to you that you must only depend on yourselves. I don't want to tell you how to 4 all the problems or the difficulties you meet with.

My children, life isn't 5 or fair but we shouldn't be afraid of that and life is still what we make it. Whatever life hurts you, you should remember that it doesn't define(定义) you. The way how you 6 life is very important. So, if life gives you lemons, my children, make lemonade; if life gives you 7, use it to build a house.

I always tell you to 8 people, but you also have to 9 that people won't always be faithful. However, my dear children, always try to see the 10 in everyone. Even when people misunderstand you, your first 11 should be, "They are nice people and they must have their reasons", and don't jump to conclusions 12 all the facts are taken together.

Education won't answer all your questions. I ask you to never stop learning 13 . You should keep reading books. Don't forget the 14 of the elders. Instead, you should move closer to them and see what you can 15.

My children, 16 you read my stories very well, you'll realize I made a lot of 17. My loves, you'll make yours too because nobody is perfect. You'll learn some lessons the 18 way, but it can make you wiser.

I love you, my children. I wish I could be with you forever, and I wish I could 19 be there to set your feet on the right way, but life isn't meant to be lived forever. I strongly believe you'll make me 20.

Yours,

Dad
