You can probably read this passage _. A. in a textbook B. on the Internet C. in a storybookA proverb is a simple saying that explains a general rule or feeling. Four people share their favorites:Sarah /England My favorite proverb would have to be Dont judge (判断) a book by its cover. I think it can be used in many daily situations. Obviously, when you meet new people, you always need to give someone a chance. So, I think that a chance is always good for someone, probably better than judging on first impressions (印象)Gareth / EnglandMy favorite proverb is Hear and I forget; see and I understand; I do and I know. I like it because it means until you actually do something, its hard to really, truly know it. I believe that a lot of the times when youre learning by hearing, its very difficult to get that knowledge. When you see something, it gets a little bit better, but when you do something, thats when you really truly know something.Lindsay / United StatesI really like the proverb, The grass is always greener on the other side. I think thats really true, and I find that its always like that. I always want what I cant have, and then when I get that, then I find out that its not as great as I had hoped it would be. So, because of this, I try to always keep that in mind and be happy for what I have.Warren / CanadaI think What goes around, comes around is what comes to mind for me. I think it is really true. Basically, if you do something good, good things will happen to you. And if you do bad things, bad things are going to happen to you, maybe not right away but after a long time.21 .
