Bookbox：The King's Secret

The King's Secret


The words I  learned：

  • ashamed (adjective)羞愧的 feeling guilty or embarrassed about something you have done or about aquality in your character
         EX：You've got nothing to be ashamed of.
  • seclude(verb)使...不與..接觸 to keep someone or something away from other people or things

         EX：Typically, the bride would seclude herself in another room.

  • barber (noun) 理髮師 a man whose job is cutting men's hair

         EX：He used to work as a barber.
  • summon(verb)命令..到(某地) to order someone to come to or be present at a particular place, or to officially arrange a meeting of people

         EX：We were summoned to the headmaster's office.

Description of the story and my thoughts：

There once lived a king who had a son with the ears of an ox. The king was ashamed of him,and kept the prince hidden away in a room.

One day, the king called a barber to cut hair for the prince. when it was finished, the king warned him " never tell anyone about the prince's ears ".  But in the end, this secret was still passed out.

I think the story let us know that no secret can be hidden forever. So in the beginning, instead of using the lie to deceive or cover up the facts,it's better to face it honestly.

It's only about 20 minutes for a class to really take classes seriously. However, MOOCs can solve this problem. It has the advantage of not being limited to time and space. As long as you are connected to the Internet, anyone can learn at any time. Even if you are tired, you can pause the movie. If you can't understand it, you can listen to it repeatedly. If the teacher is speaking to fast, you can adjust the voice speed. Then, MOOCs can also be heard when you have time, even during meals or on the way ...
