17、ly. “I have no time to waste!”“What a pity,” he said. “Thats the place where you need to slow down; plenty of great thoughts come from there!” I tried it out.

I received a brief 18-months of undivided attention and love as the only child, before three more appeared. The second was a severe blow. No doubt, learning the need to share was important, but I had
25、tasted the life of an only child.Then came years of requests to look after the siblings(兄弟姐妹), being urged that, You should be setting a better example, “Again and again the others got away with doing wrong but I didnt.

33、their age a bit but what would you expect for buildings that are five and a half thousand years old. My house was built in the year 2000 and is already in bad condition round the edges. These temples are older than the pyramids!In my opinion the temples are best seen after the visitors have left. Co
34、me with me for a late afternoon walk down the hill past Hagar Qim towards the Mnajdra Complex. There are chain link fences around the temples now but we can ignore those and try to image why Maltas earliest people went to the trouble of building these structures on this windy and poor hillside.Of co
