It was the beginning of a new term. As a 1 teacher in that school, I didn't know any of the students. A little girl was standing at the gate of the classroom. She looked very shy.
I walked up to her and2 why she stood there. But she said nothing. Then a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the worst student in her grade.”I looked at the little girl. She didn't seem to be the smart kind. I 3 why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and 4 her into the classroom.
“Sit here. Now you are my student and I'm your teacher,” I said. She still said nothing, but suddenly began to cry.
I later learnt that her parents died in a car accident. She became sad and didn't like talking to others after that.
She learnt very 5. I gave her respect(尊重) and never looked down upon (鄙视) her as I know everybody deserves(值得) respect. I helped her after school, and she was making 6 little by little. As time went by, she was not as 7 as before. At the end of the term, she seemed to have forgotten all her sadness. She was not among the best students when she left that school, but 8 , she was not that shy and sad little girl any more.
In the following 9 , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I 10 an invitation to her wedding(婚礼). And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.
Everyone deserves respect and everyone can be happy.
