Me Before You is my favorite romance(浪漫) novel by British writer Jojo Moyes. It tells the story of Louisa Clark and William Traynor (known as Will). At the end of the book, Will dies and leaves Louisa a lot of money. What happens next? You can find out in the book’s sequel(续集)—After You.
Will wants Louisa to use the money to live her life happily and richly—to travel, discover new chances and continue her education. (A)However, Louisa is too sad and finds it difficult to forget Will. Louisa now works at a bar at an airport, watching people fly to amazing places. Her boss is really unfriendly and she lives in an apartment that doesn’t feel like home.
However, all of this is about to change. One night, Louisa meets a girl at her doorstep(门阶). (B)她告诉 Louisa 她是谁,并且 Louisa 不能相信她的耳朵。 If she closes the door, her life will stay the same. If she (C) the door, she will accept challenges and become the woman Will wanted her to be. Which will she choose? You’ll have to find out the answer for yourself.
Jojo Moyes wrote After You because she wanted to give her characters from Me Before You a future. Her use of language is as descriptive(描写性的) and powerful as that in Me Before You. One special quote(引文), “Because me being here sort of means you’re still here”, deeply (D)touched me. I think this line is really emotional and powerful.

Confidence(自信)is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude(态度). (A)A study shows that people who are more confident are little happier. They can have more chances to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:
Speak loudly. When you are not confident, you can’t do well in what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can understand you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
(B) . Playing sports makes you tired but completely relaxed. When you do sports, you will be full of confidence.
Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day and see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everyone laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done.
Get rid of(清除)fear. Fear comes along with failure. But it’s easy to get over(克服) if you know that failure is part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. (C)Try to start again and believe you can do better.
Pick up what you like to do. If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you excellent. And it will make you happy and confident.
