I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature
我开始成长的时候,冬天的夜晚,我的父母和我正在回来我的姨妈家,我妈妈说我们也许很快就会离开。那时候我们在公共汽车上。我哭了,有些人在公共汽车上转过身看着我。我记得,我无法忍受从来没有听到我每天早上所听的为学生所打造的广播节目。
我不记得自己再次为这个原因而哭了哭。事实上,我认为当我和亲戚朋友说再见的时候我很少会哭。当我们离开时,我想起了我想看到所有的地方——只有从书本和图画里才能看的的奇怪和不可思议的地方。我正要离开这个国家再也没回来几乎是在我的脑海里的念头。
四年的生活教会我乐观的重要性,但这个想法没有被我很好的接受。第2年在纽约的时候,我真的很感到迷失了自我，因为家庭搬家，结果我不得不在三家学校上过学。我不知道我是什么或者我应该的怎样做。母亲改嫁,事情变得更加复杂。在我习惯了我的继父之前的一段时间，我经常感到很难过,看到没有尽头的“艰难时期”。
自从我知道我的英语比家里任何一个人都好的时候，我的职责的家庭增加了许多。我写信,填写表格,和移民官员采访的时候翻译,带我的祖父母去看医生的时候在那里和医生翻译,甚至与公司的代表讨论电话费。
从我的经验,我学到的一种重要的规则:几乎所有的常见问题最终都会消失!好东西是肯定要发生在当你最后不要放弃,只要等一等!我相信,我的生命将变成了所有的权利,即使它会不会是件容易的事。
亲爱的朋友，
最近的成功的儿童书籍使公众意识到,这是一个巨大的市场。
而有越来越需要训练有素的新作家创造价值3亿美元的购买每年儿童书籍和文章的故事……以及所需要的杂志出版了650为儿童和青少年。
这是谁需要作家吗?他们是普通的人就像你和我
但我不够好?
我曾经在你可能了。我的想法是压低了通过写作自我怀疑,我不知道到哪里去寻求帮助。
然后,我完全接受免费提供从研究所测试我的写作资质(潜能),和我需要的灵感。
有效的承诺
如果你要展示一下基础写作能力，那么研究中心将做他们所为你做的一样的承诺。
您将完成至少一稿(手稿)适合交一个出版商的时间你完成我们的课程。
我真的没有想到任何出版之前,我完成了课程,但发生的事情。我卖掉三个小故事。我很快就发现了不寻常的情况。
自从毕业的时候,我已经发表在全国范围内的出版儿童书籍的34岁和超过300个故事和文章
免费测试和小册子
我们提供免费的测验,并将送你一份手册描述我们承认home-study课程一对一训练的基础上
今天的梦想实现你的写作。没有比梦想推迟更悲伤的了。
真诚,
克丽丝蒂,老师

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.在我父母和我从我阿姨家回家的那冬天的晚上，我开始长大了。我妈妈说我们很快就会去美国。然后我们就在车上了。（我们很快就出发了的意思）我在车上哭，一些人回头看着我。我记得我当时的想法是我不能接受我以后再也不能听那个我每天早上都听的为学生而设的电台节目了。（水平有限，希望你能理解）
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. 我现在已经不再记得这个让我哭的原因了。实际上，我认为我和亲友道别时，我哭得很少。那时，当我离开时，我在想的是我要去的那个地方---一个只能从书本和图片上认识的陌生又神奇的地方。从那时起，那个我离开后就没再回去的国家就很少在我的脑海里出现了。
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times." 已过去的四年教会了我乐观的重要性。但我不是马上就学会这个的。在纽约的最初两年，我真的迷失了自己。因为搬家的原因，我不得不在换了三所学校。我不是很知道我是做什么的或者我应该是什么的。妈妈再婚了。而事情变得更复杂了。在我和继父能互相相处前段的一段时间，我经常很伤心，（觉得 是）看不见尽头的“艰难时光”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. 自从我的英语水平比其他人都好，我在家里的责任提升了不少。我要写信，填表，移民官来访时做翻译，带祖父母去看病还做翻译，甚至是和（电话）公司代表讨论电话账单。
从这些经验里我学习到一件很重要的事：几乎所有的日常困难都会过去的。只有你不放弃和等待，最后一定会有好事发生的。我相信我以后的生活会变好，即使不容易。
