Several years ago, when I was teaching at a middleschool, a girl sent me a message. She found someone write a very1messageon her locker. She made a picture of it and then sent it to me asking for2.
A few hours later, I noticed that on herInstagram she had posted that picture and asked if anyone3whodid that.
Well, the following day, the girl came to mewith a boy. She showed me a4she had received. It was a heartfeltapology. I asked her if she knew who had done it, and the boy repliedembarrassedly(尴尬地), "It was me. I don't know why I did it,but I know it was5. So I wrote her this note. I6wantedto do something to try to make up for my meanness."
My heart felt so full of7forthis boy. I told him how8he was to come forward and how amazing itwas that he did something9to correct his mistake. I10thegirl and asked her if she could forgive him. Without hesitation, she said, "Yes."
I think middle school students are not littlechildren any more, and not grown-ups yet. It is normal that they make mistakes.Every day I remind myself that although I am an educator, my students trulylove me.

Shut Up Zoos, Not Animals!
You may think that visiting zoos is harmless fun, but you're wrong because zoos are just prisons(监狱) for animals. The difference is that prisoners get out after a few years! Animals in cages look bored and are boring to look at. After all, we all know what an elephant looks like, we've seen them on TV. So why make animals suffer by shutting them up for our fun? Shut up the zoos instead!

I partly agree. But some zoos aren't there for our fun. I've just got back from Jersey Zoo. It saves rare animals and breeds them. Then it returns the babies to the wild. Not all zoos are the same, you know.

Quite agree! Every time I go to the zoo, I never look into the poor animals' eyes! Kept in the small and smelly cages, they look so lonely and sad. Hope one day they will return to nature, where they can live happily and freely with their families.

Personally, I think zoos are fantastic places for children. They can play with animals and enjoy themselves so much there. Also, they learn a lot about animals. Why shut up?

Life comes in a package. Thispackage includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope anddespair.Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and makeus a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with varioussituations.
Love plays amain role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person couldbecome cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who showus with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good andbad. But we don't always care about it. It is only after marriage and havingkids that a person understands others' feelings.
Happiness canbring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is thecause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things willpass away.
Failure is thepath to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and showsus a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.
Hope is whatkeeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makesus dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in thedarkest hour, because after every night there is a day.
Life teaches usnot to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrowis unknown, for it could either be bright or dark.So the only choice is towork hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
School started again, and soon the ink(墨水)in Tom's spelling book was found. Tom said he hadn't split the ink, but that made it look as if he were lying. Becky almost said Alfred Temple had done it, but she kept quiet. She thought that Tom would tell the teacher about her tearing(撕)his book, so she didn't save him. Mr Dobbins beat him and then Tom went back to his seat。
After an hour Mr Dobbins unlocked his desk and took out his book, Tom looked over at Becky. She looked like a hunted and helpless rabbit. The next moment the master faced the children. There was a long silence, then he spoke, "Who tore this book?"
There wasn't a sound. The teacher searched their faces.
"Benjamin Rogers, did you do it?"
Benjamin said no.
"Joseph Harper, did you?"
Joseph also said no. Dobbins looked at the rows of boys, thought for a moment, then turned to the girls.
"Amy Lawrence?"
A shake of the head.
"Gracie Miller?"
The same sign.
Becky was next. Tom was shaking from head to foot.
"Rebecca Thatcher?"—(Tom looked at her face; it was white with terror)— "did you tear?—no, look at my face—did you tear this book?"
Tom jumped to his feet and shouted, "I did it!"
The children stared(盯着) in surprise at his foolish act.
And when he stepped forward for his punishment, he saw the surprise, the thanks, and the love that came from Becky's eyes.This was enough for one hundred beatings. And he didn't even mind staying for two hours after school, because he knew that Becky was waiting for him outside.
Tom went to bed that night planning some actions on Alfred Temple, for Becky had told him everything. And he fell asleep with Becky's last words to him in his ear, "Tom, you are so great!"
①Gracie Miller replied to the teacher by shaking her head.
②The children were surprised at Tom's foolish act.
③Tom was beaten for the ink split in his spelling book.
④Becky was thankful to Tom for what he did for her.
⑤Mr Dobbins' book was carelessly torn(撕) by Becky.
Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time, I'll take a close look at their bookshelves. What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.
My own shelves are a kind of road map through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Water ship Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school — Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full-time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional( 职业的) life, from the first exciting days of their work experience to the present.
If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time.
▲ It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange our books, and get on with them. It's such a personal thing, different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room, others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.
It's often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well-organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned.
— OK. Everybody, we're ready to shoot.
