Capital Library and My New Bicycle


About a week before I took GMAT on March 21, my bicycle was stolen in front of Huateng Club, where I went swimming regularly. When I found the broken lock abandoned on the curb, I feel very calm. This was my second time losing my bicycle in 3 months. Buying a new bicycle in China, no matter in Shanghai or in Beijing, is risky because the bicycle can disappear anywhere and anytime.
I went to Carrefour to buy a new bicycle again, because I can not find any stores selling used bicycle nearby, and because the people’s service attitude in another cheaper bicycle stores were very bad, making me uing to talk with them any more. When I got back home, all of the sudden, I found an email form GMAC in my mailbox. Instantly, I turned to become nervous. Now it is the time to find out how many score I get in AWA. Besides, I still cannot believe that my total score is above 700, even though the figure is in black and white on the unofficial report. Taking a deep breath and then entering the authentication code on the web page, finally, I prove that I do get the satisfying score and I got 4.5 AWA. It is not a good score for the AWA, but I absolutely don't want to take GMAT again! I will move on to my next stage, the preparation of the TOEFL exam.
Taking my new bicycle to the Capital Library to borrow some books about TOEFL, I suddenly got complicated feelings. I used to take my stolen bicycle to the Library to prepare GMAT for a long time, but now, when I achieve the goal, that bicycle was gone and there is another new one under my feet!
