    John sat next to me when we were in No.1 Middle School. He had a serious 1 in communicating (交流) with people. One always had to guess what he was saying. Besides(此外), 2 of my classmates did not like to be with him because his hands and shirts were always 3. I tried to let him know the importance of being clean by 4 him many times a day to wash his hands. But he just could not understand.

    One day, our teacher Miss Lee walked up to John. 5 saying anything, she took John to the washroom. Slowly, Miss Lee washed his 6 and told him that he should keep himself clean. She did that every day for one month. 7, John understood.

    Miss Lee's love gives me a good example to follow when I 8 my job. I always remember to teach my students by showing them the right 9 to do things. And the most important of all, I always remember to give them 10 to learn and to grow up.

    Telling the truth is a very good habit. Here is a story of a man who did lots of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth 1 him.

    One morning the man came to the prophet(先知) Muhammad and said, "Oh prophet of Allah, I have many bad 2. Which one should I 3 first?"

    The prophet said," 4 telling lies first and always tell the truth." The man promised to do so.

    He went home and thought about the prophet's 5all day. But at night he planned to go out to steal something. Before leaving home, he said to 6, "If tomorrow the prophet asks me7 I have been, shall I say that I went out to steal? No, I can't say that. But 8 can I tell a lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will call me a thief." So the man decided 9 that night.

    Next day, when the man was about to drink10, he thought, "What shall I say to the prophet 11he asks me what I did during the day? I 12 not tell a lie, and if I tell the truth, people will hate me because a Muslim is not allowed to drink wine." So he gave up the idea of drinking wine. 13, whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he 14  remembered his promise to tell the truth. Step by step, he didn't do anything 15. He became a good Muslim and a very good person.
