Lesson 8 The best and the worst 最好的和最差的
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
From Joe Sander's View:
I love gardening! I am a retired architect and I decorate my garden with my knowledge and experience. I design a few paths in it and build a nice bridge over the pool in which I also breed several fish. Every year, it holds "The Nicest Garden Competition" in our town. My biggest competitor is Bill Frith who works harder than me. He grows many flowers and 'flowers'[=> vegetables 170121] but his garden lacks of a sense of art. I wins the competition 'each'[=> every 170120 虽然不清晰, 直觉告诉我这里错了] year because my garden is most beautiful and interesting. My neighbor George is the laziest man in the town. He always says that he loves garden very much. He erters for the competition and get a little prize of worst garden every year.

From Bill's View:
Almost everybody takes part in yearly 'The Most Beautiful Gardent Competition' [:yearly 作adj 170120] and Joe Sander's always wins the competition.
