Normally I do not help the students with science projects， because failures are necessary for learning. Yet this was a different matter： Her wick was not as    20    as others. I needed to     21    in.

The girl had tears in her eyes， and I felt ashamed of myself for ever having felt like giving up. For that one moment， the only thing that    22    to me was that this girl should have a successful experiment. She was going to go home that day with a    23    on her face. I bent over her alcohol lamp， and with a long kitchen match tried to reach the wick. I was so    24    to the match that I could feel the temperature of the fire. Finally the wick caught fire， and I looked up triumphantly （得意洋洋地），    25    the smile on the girls face.

26   ， she took one look at me and began screaming（尖叫） in fear. I did not understand why the kids were all pointing at me until I realized that the flame had lit my hair.

A few minutes later， all was well and I watched the kids    29    the experiment. I felt like an idiot， and yet for the first time in weeks， I felt how much I    30    about teaching.

Failures （失败） are necessary parts in our life. But all too often， many kids feel ashamed （羞愧的） of them. Donnie was my youngest third-grader who wanted to make everything perfect. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games. He seldom answered questions—he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he always checked with me to be sure he hadnt made a mistake. I tried my best to build his self-confidence（自信）. But nothing changed until midterm， when Mary Anne， my student teacher， came to our class. She was young and pretty， and she loved children. My pupils all adored her. But the more Donnie loved Mary， the more he was afraid he might make a mistake. Then one morning， we were working on math problems. Donnie had copied the problems and filled in answers in the first row. Pleased with his progress， I left the children with Mary Anne. When I returned， Donnie was in tears. Hed missed the third problem. Mary went to the desk， and got a box filled with pencils.

“Look， Donnie，” she said， “Ive got something to show you.” She took out the pencils， one at a time， and placed them on his desk.

“See these pencils， Donnie？ They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn？ Thats because we make mistakes， too. But we erase（擦除） the mistakes and try again. Thats what you must learn to do， too.”

She kissed him and stood up. “Here，” she said， “Ill leave one of these pencils on your desk so you will remember that everybody makes mistakes， even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile—the first smile Id seen on his face that year. The pencil together with Mary Annes encouragement （鼓勵） gradually made him know that its all right to make mistakes—as long as you erase them and try again.

He is friendly and good-mannered. He is not big in his shape but it is very well made up by his gifts and ability. He is always well-dressed and looks confident. Of course， everyone respects （尊敬） him.

It is a pleasure to listen to him when he teaches English， no matter it is a prose （散文） or a poem. He always uses very simple words in his class so that even a poor student could follow him. He would never go on further until everyone can understand him. When he finds somebody has difficulties， he will try his best to help.

Born a poem lover， Mr. Leo teaches with passion （激情）. He has a way to get into the spirits of the poets（诗人）. He always carries the whole class with him in the pleasure of enjoying the poems. Whether it is “Oh！Captain， My Captain！” “The Road Not Taken” or “When We Two Parted”， he makes us remember the lesson through his attractive（引人注目的） way of teaching. Besides all these things， he has also been a very strict man when it comes to exams， although he insists （坚持认为） that they are not everything.

During his free hours， he can be found in the school library looking through among the books and magazines. We can get close to him easily and talk to him about our problems， thoughts， and everything. With his knowledge and experience， and the ability to use them， he always manages to help us out. He always looks at the bright side of things and also expects the best from us. He leaves the lasting stamp of his personality （个性） on ours.

Many years ago， I visited Thailand. One evening I went to a little market. There was a small boy selling T-shirts in the market. He was no more than 6 or 7 years old， but he was a good little salesman. He was talking quickly in Thai to two l   51    persons when I arrived. And they both bought a T-shirt. Then there was a Japanese v   52    in front of me， and the little boy began to talk in Japanese. Although he didnt speak Japanese very well， he was able to say a few words enough to get another s   53   . When I came up， he saw my w   54    face and immediately changed to English.

“Hello， Sir， how are you？ Do you like T-shirts？” And within just a few minutes， he had persuaded （說服） me to buy five T-shirts. He was so flexible （灵活的） that he could jump from one language to another to m   55    the customers from different countries. And even if he only knew a few words， he was so flexible that he could use his body languages to make customers understand the r   56    of the meaning！

Selling a T-shirt m   57    getting money and that was a good thing. He made mistakes in his communication， but he didnt l   58    anything by making some mistakes. Actually， it was a good chance to i   59    his language skills. He was in a good state. He clearly enjoyed selling those T-shirts and his face was wearing a bright s   60    all the time.

It was work but he enjoyed it—he was relaxed and focused.
