Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time-like money-slips all too easily through our fingers. And time-like the weather-is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life\'s most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.
不过连美国人都承认，没有人能够完全掌握时间。时间就像金钱一样，很容易就从我们的指间溜走；时间也像天气一样，是很难预测的。然而，时间是生命中最宝贵的礼物之一，而拆开（这项难以掌握和预料的）礼物本身就已经是一种乐趣了。

如果你要靠读固定文章来完成这五分钟，那就失去了这种活动的意义了！这是一个在全班面前展示自己的机会，自由内容，说你想说的，这是一个很好的锻炼。
