The doctor described the 19 , which caused the burns. At 6 a.m, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 20 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames 21 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.

And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
