For many people the subject of hiccups（嗝）is a joke，but for Harry Mendis，a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham，it was something quite different．
His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and continued day and night for two weeks．After the first week，Harry's parents took him to hospital，but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack．
Harry，who is now back at school，described what happened to him．
“When I began to hiccup，I drank a glass of water but that didn't do any good．That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them．I held my breath and drank cold drinks．My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either．”
After a week of sleepless nights，he went to hospital．The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldn't find anything wrong．
“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down，but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped．”
Harry was very lucky．The world record holder is the American---farmer Charles Osborne，who hiccupped for sixty-eight years．He stopped in 1990at last，but nobody knows why．

Every Sunday afternoon there is an “ English corner” in Zhongshan Park, which started a year ago. The attendance（参加者） include teachers, workers, doctors and engineers but mainly are students from middle schools or colleges. Sometimes foreigners also come and they show great interest in it. Usually there is an attendance of about fifty, or may be nearly one hundred at the most. Besides free talk, speeches are given on different kinds of topics, usually on Sundays following May Day or National Day.
Here at the Corner, English learners find for themselves chances not only to practise their listening and speaking but also to make more friends.
