I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010.We were in financial trouble,so she said politely,"Sorry,son,but we can't now.”
I googled the measurements for a keyboard,drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk.I would click notes on an online keyboard and"play"them back on my paper one-keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head.I spent 6 months playing without touching a real piano.Once my mom saw that I was rious,she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one.I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was.I sat my Grade
1 after 8 lessons.Once I started condary school,we couldn't afford lessons again.I pasd Grade 3,and then Grade 5,practicing only on my piece of paper.One evening,when I was about 13,my mom said she had a surpri for me-it was an electronic keyboard,bought with more borrowed money.It was the first time that I'd played for her and she was in shock.
My school didn't offer music A-level.I found the Purcell School for young musicians,but the tryouts were difficult.Some of the questions even involved an evaluation of the compor.I was at a loss.But
to my amazement,I was offered a place.At Purcell,I spent 2 years working as hard as I could.I performed to rai money and saved enough to buy my first piano.When I left Purcell,I was awarded
the nior piano prize and academic music prize.I'm now at the Guildhall School in London.I feel proud-it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano,and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools.
Surprisingly,I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano:what we call mental practice.The paper piano helped motivate my curiosity about how music works.

B气味的近义词
I'm now living in the south of France with my husband Keith and three small children,and I feel like a
fish out of water everywhere but one place-the Saturday street market.It's been operating in our small town of Sommieres since the 13th century,but we've only lived here for three months.
From Monday to Friday,life is all about the kids.I'm busy helping my children deal with life in a French school.It's not easy,and their stress is the whole family's stress,as Keith and I are occupied with the daily school runs,piles of homework and school notes in French.
But on Saturday,the market is for me.I feel so peaceful as I walk along the quiet street toward the busy town square.The knife-sharpening man is there, operating a machine that looks like it dates from the Industrial Revolution.There' re street musicians with guitars and microphones,and the sound of beautiful songs fills the air.And the food,of cour,is delicious.The chee man doesn't speak-he just points and cuts,offering a piece from his knife.Lines come out of the door for fresh bread at the bakery.Organic vegetables,herbs and desrts are a feast for the eyes,before being put into the bag to be enjoyed later for lunch.The nois and smells of the market are unfamiliar and thrilling,but their procedures are clear to me.This is part of why I love the place so much:Unlike during the week,when I'm constantly faced with my own difficulties,I know how this place works.My terrible French isn't the barrier to communication that it is in other circumstances.
At school and in the village,I can't joke or join a conversation,and although the other parents at the school are kind,I'm an outsider.But at the market,I'm just another customer with a basket.Surrounded by day trippers,I feel like a local- greeting people I know and petting dogs.
My Saturday experiences allow me to hope that in the near future I'll feel equally confident in my everyday life.Until then,Saturdays prepare me for the coming week of school runs.

Almost everyone has heard the expression"the calm before the storm".It is usually ud to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a ten argument.
British sailors created the phra in the late 1600s.They noted that before certain storms the as would em to become static and the winds would drop.But why is it often so calm before a storm?
Science has given us the answer.According to US website How Stuff Works,a calm period occurs becau many storms,such as hurricanes and tornadoes(龙卷风），draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area.As this air ris into the storm clouds,it cools and acts as"fuel for the storm,like petrol in a car".
