Many people may not know the name of the girl in the photo but her large and clear eyes can often be seen in newspapers.
Her name is Su Mingjuan and now she's more than 30 years old. In 1991, when Su was only 8 years old, Xie Hailong, a photographer from China Youth Daily, took a picture of her in a classroom which was in a poor condition in Anhui.
The photo was later used as a poster for Project Hope. It has become a symbol of the country's efforts to make more people realize the importance of education. Her large and clear eyes crying for knowledge in the picture have moved a big number of people across China, who have donated (捐赠) money to help children continue their schooling since then.
Having received help from Project Hope, Su herself has also been helping poor students. She began to study at Anhui University in 2003. After entering college, she wrote to the China Youth Development Foundation, the organizer of Project Hope, to transfer her living allowance (补助) of 900 yuan a term to other students in need. And she began to do part-time jobs to make money. After graduation, Su found a job in a bank. Since she started working, she has donated 1,000 yuan every year.
Since it was started in 1989, Project Hope has received about 13 billion yuan in donations from home and abroad. And the money has been used to build over 19,000 primary schools and help over 5. 5 million children.

Not being able to speak clearly can make you feel bad about yourself. But remember, you're not alone - more than 80 million people around the world stutter. Here are some tips to help you improve your speech.
Practice speaking slowly.
Spend 5 to 10 minutes each day practicing slow speech, either by yourself or with someone who can help. Choose a topic you know well, and then talk about it without using notes. This practice helps you get used to thinking before you speak, just like in real conversations.

Did you know that more than 100 muscles (肌肉) in your mouth help you talk? Since there are so many muscles involved, there are lots of ways to make a sound. If one way isn't working, try another.

Another idea is to record yourself while reading aloud. Many people don't like listening to their recorded voice. But if you can do that, you'll be able to find out what sounds you're having problems with, so you know what you need to practice.

Telling people you stutter before you talk to them for the first time might sound like your worst nightmare (噩梦) come true, but it can really help if you get nervous talking to people. Telling them about your stutter frees you from worrying about what they might think if you happen to stutter during the conversation.

Sometimes you find the greatest help just from talking to someone else who's going through the same thing as you. You can understand each other and also share tips and speech exercises that have worked for you.
