I'm Sally. I was a shy girl. Bu this term, I decided to do a brave(勇敢)thing. In this term, we had a new subject to learn— physics. When our teacher asked someone to be the physics monitor(物理课代表), I put up my hand and got the role. But it was not as easy as I thought.

    At the beginning, I found that many students did not hand in(上交)their homework, so I was a little worried. I shouted at the students. It made the students angry. One girl asked: "Why are you shouting at me? You're making it seem like it is all my mistake(错误)." Then I found that, it was my mistake in fact. I should talk to my classmates in a kind way and not get so angry.

    After this, I changed(改变)how I spoke. "Excuse me. Could you please finish your homework?" I said. Later, I was surprised that many students understood me a lot better and finished their homework quickly.

    I found the best way to do this job is to talk with my classmates in a friendly way. Now, I am getting better and better with my classmates. This job makes me feel like I am growing up like a little tree day by day.

 It was Jimmy's birthday and he was five years old. He got a lot of nice birthday gifts from his family, and one of them was a beautiful drum.

" Who gave him that thing?" Jimmy's father said when he saw it." His grandfather did," answered Jimmy's mother.

" Oh," said his father. Of course Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise with it, but his father didn't mind. He was working during the day and Jimmy was already in bed when he got home in the evening, so he couldn't hear the noise.

 But one of the neighbors didn't like the noise at all, so a few days later, she took a knife and went to Jimmy's house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him," Hello, Jimmy, do you know, there is something very nice inside your drum? Here is a knife. Open(打开) the drum and let's find it."

 Dear Alan,

 Thank you for your last e- mail. I'm very happy here. Let me tell you a piece of good news. This term, we have a new English teacher. Her name is Jane. She is beautiful. She is thin and of medium height. She has long blonde hair and big blue eyes、 She likes wearing a red skirt and a pair of black shoes. She is good at teaching and her classes are very interesting. We all like listening to her. Her voice is beautiful, too. She is good at singing and dancing. She also likes sports, such as volleyball, basketball and ping- pong, and she likes tennis best. Oh, she has an11- year- old daughter, Helen. She can speak Chinese well. We are in the same class. Jane is friendly to us and we all like her very much. What does your English teacher look like?
