My husband had insisted on watering the flowers in the garden by himself, and when he discovered that he couldnt manage he asked me for help at the last moment. So now we had an hour to get to the airport. Luckily, there were not many cars or buses on the road and we were able to get there just in time.We checked in and went direct to a big hall to wait for our flight (航班) to be called. We waited and waited but no announcement (通知) was made. We asked for information and the girl there told us that the plane hadnt even arrived yet. In the end there was another announcement telling us that passengers waiting for Flight LJ108 could get a free meal voucher (餐券) and that the plane hadnt left Spain for technical reasons. We thought that meant that it wasnt safe for the plane to fly. We waited again for a long time until late in the evening when we were asked to report again. This time we were given free vouchers to spend the night in a nearby hotel.The next morning after a bad night because of all the planes taking off and landing, we reported back to the airport.

One day Sequoyah was advised to put his name on the silver jewelry he made. However, he could not write his name because Cherokee was only a spoken language. Sequoyah decided to learn how to write his name, so he asked one of his customers (顾客) to teach him, who knew English very well. From that time on, Sequoyah signed (签名) his work in English.Then Sequoyah realized that a written language was necessary for his people. In 1809, he started by making small drawings, and then he experimented with creating a letter for each sound in the Cherokee language.

Unlike English, however, no two sounds shared the same symbol.Sequoyahs work was difficult and took him a lot of time. Worse, those around Sequoyah didnt understand what he was doing with all those strange symbols. Some raised doubts about his work. However, Sequoyah didnt stop working. In 1821, Sequoyah completed his alphabet (字母表). Each symbol in the alphabet symbolized one of the eighty-five sounds in the Cherokee language. By saying the name of each symbol, a person could read the spoken word.Sequoyah taught the symbols to his six-year-old daughter, Ayoka. One day, they went to visit the elders of the Cherokee Nation.
