As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I1 the school and the children there. "It must be new and big, flowers are everywhere," I said to myself.2 I got so upset when I arrived there. It didn't look like a school at all! How small! And there were only 3 rooms! One was for Grades 1, 2 and 3, one was for Grades 4, 5 and 6, the third one was for me.
The only comfort(安慰) was that the children welcomed me 4 on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test(测试). Tomy 5 , though the test was very 6 , over half of the students failed(不及格). But they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they 7 me.
Now I'm busy preparing lessons for them every night. I can see that they are doing better and better 8 my help. I learn a lot from them, too. I understand 9 lives better now, and we are good friends. I'm very happy, and the experience is 10 very useful for me. I love the small school and the children.
