The Monkey King

The Monkey King was born from a stone. He wanted to live forever. He was really intelligent and knew what to do. 58他能够把他自己变成72种不同的东西, like a tree,a bird or an insect(昆虫). While he was changing himself, people just watched and couldn’t believe it. He used the clouds in the sky 59_______________ around! One time he flew 108,000 miles on a cloud.

The trouble was, the monkey thought he was the king. But he wasn’t . The Emperor was. So, the real king decided to give the monkey a title(官职)to keep him quiet. 60 But the monkey found out that everyone was laughing at him. He was extremely unhappy and decided to fight. At last, the Emperor asked Buddha(佛) for help.

The Buddha moved a great mountain to fall on top of him. As the mountain was falling on him, he nearly managed(设法) to get out of the way. He didn’t, but he didn’t die, either. The trouble was he couldn’t move. Five hundred years later ,a monk(和尚) helped the monkey get out from under the mountain. That’s when the real story began. You must remember it, don’t you ? It’s a treat story.

①I_started_to_study_English_by_myself_when_I_was_about_fifteen. Michael Jackson has been my idol (偶像) since 1991, and I really wanted to understand him and his music.②我过去使用字典来学习他歌曲中的单词。Although itˈs not easy at first, I was very patient, and that helped me a lot in the process of learning English.

There was a lot of work to do to learn English,but I never felt tired. First, I learned about pronunciation, which was the hardest part for me. Because music was my only source (来源) of spoken English. Sometimes I had to use a pronunciation dictionary. Then I made lists of words in order to remember their spellings and their meanings. 我花费数小时学习英语语法。Whatˈs more, I read a lot. And I also tried to translate texts, dialogues and songs.

因为我的努力，我的英语进步了很多。In the end, I entered a college and had a great chance to further improve my English. Now I am an English teacher. And I am still making progress in English.

I participated in exhibitions in Cracow, Vienna, Oxford, Wroclaw and more.

Now I am travelling around the Europe, drawing on the streets of Berlin, London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, and many other cities. I called this project ‘Mariusz Draws’. This way, I want to encourage all the people and tell them that all the limits are in our heads.
