During one of my lessons he asked how much practice I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.    "Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?"    "'I try to."    "Well, do not," he exclaimed." When you grow up, time won't come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between chores. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life."     Years later when I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but recitations, theme-reading, and meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I recalled what my piano teacher said to me.     During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied(空闲的), I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had written quite a lot. Later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal(零碎的) method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, every day there were idle (空闲的)moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small interval of the day provided enough time for both writing and piano practice.       有一些事情你很想做，可一直没时间。今天，你在杂志上读了上面这篇文章，你很有感触，于是打算把它写在日记里。（开头已给出，不计入词数） 【写作内容】  1．以约30个词概括你所读的这个故事；     2．以约120个词谈谈这个故事给你的启发；        (1)看完这个故事的感受；        (2)你打算如何运用你今天所领会到的去解决你的问题。 【写作要求】     1．作文中可使用自己的亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文的句子。     2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。 【评分标准】     概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语句连贯。              January 12         Friday          Sunny Today I read a very good essay.
