READING:
A. Read the following passage and do the following tasks
About twenty years ago, I was a naughty boy and a little bossy. I think I was a boss among friends. I fought with other boys almost every day and sometimes I fought with my elder sister. I was five or six years old when I saw Superman on T.V for the first time. It seemed he could do everything, so he became my idol. I really wanted to be a Superman. 
Finally I made up my mind to be a Superman. So I called up all of my friends and said in front of my house, “ Is there anybody that can jump from that second floor?” A silence flew through my friends. I said, “ All right, all of you like chickens, but I can do it”. They said “ Are you sure?” I said “ Sure! And if I do it, I’ll get all the marbles that you have, but if I fail, you will get all of my marbles. Good deal?”
They said, “OK”. So I went up to the second floor with the Superman costume, stood at the edge of the floor for a few seconds, and took a deep breath. I felt cold because I was almost naked. But what a brave boy! I jumped with my arms extended like Superman. During the flight, though it was just a second, I could see every eye of my friends get wider.
“CRASH” I fell down on the ground. And I was knocked out for just a moment.
When I opened my eyes slowly I could see my mom’s nose. I had to go to the hospital with my mom because a part of my tongue was cut in the crash. But I got all the marbles later and I became the leader in my group of friends

Dear John, 
Thank you so much for your lovely photograph. You looked great in the ceremony. You want to know my latest news, don't you? I'm going to tell you one of the most embarrassing experiences that has happened in my life.
Last week, I was invited to a birthday party of one of my close friends, Fiona. I was excited about going there. I went to a gift shop and chose a lovely present for her. Then I ran home and put the present on the corner of the desk. The time for the party was coming, so I got dressed and hurried to Fiona's house. On getting there, I saw some of my friends standing at the door giving Fiona cards, flowers, and gifts. I didn't notice that I hadn't brought the present with me. When Fiona called me, I realized that I forgot one big thing. "Oh, my god. I don't take my gift with me. What should I do?" Some of my friends looked at me with a little surprise, so I felt very embarrassed and couldn't say anything. Finally, I tried to keep calm and told her that I had forgotten the present at home and I would send her later. You know I have never been in a situation like that. You can imagine how I felt at that time.
Since then I have learned that I must be very careful and well-prepared before going to a party.
