Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some certain purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious ways.

Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without overcoming (克服) those difficulties, you would have never realized your further ability and advantages. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.

The people you meet influence your life, and the success and failure you experience create who you are. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your goals (目标) high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.

No matter who you meet and whatever happens to you, most importantly, you can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

   When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules for word order(顺序) in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand his sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

“She only likes apples.”   “Only she likes apples.”

“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

   Tyler was a troublesome student. He sat in the back row. Every time I called him to answer questions, he’d r
36． with a flip(轻率的) answer. If he got it wrong, he would get very angry.

Usually kids could sit q
37． in class. However, Tyler was just loud. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. I said to him, “Tyler, why not join in our discussion i
38． of having one of your own?” He got up from his chair, pushed it over, and s
39． something I can’t remember. I sent him to the office and he received a week’s out-of-school punishment.

The week was a wonderful time for me, but when it came to an e
40．, I began to feel worried. So I came up with a plan. On the day of his r
41．, I told him I wanted to start over with him. If he felt like he was going to lose control(控制) in class, he could step o
42． the door for a moment.

From then on, Tyler was a changed s
43． in my classroom. In fact he was a smart child and he even stopped a fight between two students one day. And he never used the privilege(特权) to leave the class for a moment. I believe that just letting him decide for h
44． made all the difference.

When the year was over, he wrote me a thank-you note about h
45． good the year had been for him. I still have it today and find it very moving to reread when I get stressed(有压力的) about teaching.

I’ll graduate from my middle school. I’ve met many good teachers since I came to this school. Here I’m going to share my ________ teacher, Ms Wang with you.
