[Story] After a long day at work, John decided to make use of his free time by writing a novel. He put away his old manuscripts and sat down at his desk, determined to write down a new story. As he began to type, he was so engrossed in his writing that he didnt notice the time. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. It was his neighbor, who informed him that his book from the previous year had sold out in the local bookstore. John was overjoyed and couldnt wait to share the news with his readers.
[参考翻译] 经过一天漫长的工作后，约翰决定利用他的空闲时间写一部小说。他收起了旧手稿，坐在书桌前，决心写下一个新的故事。当他开始打字时，他如此全神贯注于写作，以至于没有注意到时间。突然，他听到敲门声。那是他的邻居，告诉他他去年的书在本地书店卖完了。约翰非常高兴，迫不及待地想与他的读者分享这个消息。
