Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs. White.
I don't remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But there were no red corrections but always a star. Sometimes even a word "Good"! That would make my heart filled with happiness, but it worried my mother.
So one day when she went to meet Mrs. White, Mother asked her why she never corrected my mistakes, and why she never pointed out those mistakes. Mrs. White said, "The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about making sentences. I don't want to make them lose that enthusiasm (热情) with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. The wonder of words won't ..."
And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no qualms (顾忌) about writing what I meant even if I couldn't quite spell it out. Life isn't Perfect. It's Beautiful. She helped me understand it.

Dear Ms White, I used to have a lot of problems and I always tried to fix them by myself. I used to do badly in English. To fix it, I read English newspapers and went to the school English corner to improve it. Now I'm quite good at it. I used to be weak. To fix it, I ate right and joined a sports club. Now I'm strong and healthy. I used to be afraid of speaking in public. To fix it, I took part in all kinds of school activities. Now I'm outgoing and everyone likes making friends with me. But now I have a problem that I can't fix. I have the ugliest nose in the whole world! It's not only fat but also big! I want to have a nose job (鼻子整形), but how can I get my parents to agree? Yours, Ann, 12 |

Dear Ann, It sounds like you're a really proactive (积极主动的) person, always fixing problems. That's good, but when it comes to things like your nose, you have to stop. It sounds to me that you're looking for things that are wrong with your body. That's very dangerous. Also, I'd like to point out that nobody is perfect. A nose doesn't reflect(招致非议) who you are, so there's no need for you to feel bad about yourself at all. In my opinion, as a student, you should pay more attention to your schoolwork instead of your looks. Best wishes, Ms White |
A group of high school students from the United States has planted hope by cleaning up an empty lot(一块地) in their neighborhood.
The students are from Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio. The empty lot, which is owned by a 1ocal bank, was filled with grass and poison ivy(毒葛). As a project for the school's biohealth(生物健康) class, eight students decided to turn the empty lot into a space that will improve the mental(心里的) and emotional(情感的) health of people who live near it.
They first came up with a design, did research and created 3D models of their plans. Ideas were then presented and the school leaders picked the winning plans. Finally, the students brought those plans to life.
Now when you walk into the lot, you can see a wood walkway leading to a purple iron bench. A few beautiful plants are already in the ground. There is also a hopscotch(跳房子游戏) board that is painted bright blue. A wall painting with the words "Love" and "Peace" has taken shape on a back fence, decorated with the students' handprints. The rest of the fence was painted grey to cover plain wood.
The students said they painted the bench purple because they found that purple has a comforting feeling for people. They thought kids could go there and sit together, communicate with each other in peace and stay out of trouble.
As for the hopscotch board, it was set up for a group of eight to ten school-age kids who lived in the neighborhood but had nowhere to play.
It gives the neighborhood a little hope and a little beauty, "said Lyle Jenkins, a member of the Neighborhood Network." A lot of people love the neighborhood and have great hopes for things getting better.
