I still remember my middle school life in Tianjin. I was then in a school for students from Tibet. As we all left home at early age, we met lots of problem in our daily life. We had to do the washing, cleaning and shopping by us. However, we seldom felt lonely or helplessly. We enjoyed our happy life. At weekends, we would played basketball, swimming in the pool or go for a picnic. We were living in a big family. We treat each other as brothers and sisters. If any one of us had any difficulty in our life and study, the other would help him out. It has been five years when we graduated from, but those memories are as sweet as ever before.

When I was four years old, I got ill. I took medicine twice a day. The medicine had so a bitter taste that I took it mixing in orange juice. The problem was that I can still taste the medicine. In a particular afternoon my mother brought the drink in. As she gave it to me, when the phone rang and she went to answer it. I looked at the orange drink and decided I couldnt face them, so I hid the glass behind a pile of magazines. Of course, when my mother asked,“Have you already taken your medicine?” I said,“Yes,” I felt very pleased with me. The next day,my mother found drink when she was doing the houseworks. She looked at me serious and said,“Its bad to tell lies !”

Dear Ms. Smith,
I appreciate your help very well. On the first day of Camp, you came up to myself while I was sitting alone. After that, you always gave me specially attention and inspired to me to join in activities. As result, I gradually got to know the other camper. Because of the help you gave me that summer, my life changed. I gained so much confidence that I go back to school as a new person. My grades improved. I became very active but made new friends. Today, I got a letter that said I had been admitting to a college. I am proud of it. I just want to thank you for helping me becoming a different person.
Yours,
Bob

In Grade Eight I took physics. In one test I get only 36 percent of the answer correct. I failed a next one, either. I started to think that maybe I was not good at it. However, I was lucky enough to have a teacher which didnt take my bad grades as a judgement of my abilities. He simply took them like an indication that I should study harder. He pulled me aside and told me that he knew I could do well. He permitted to retake the test, and I was pulled my grade to an A. This is what I discovered: just because a subject is difficulty to learn. It doesnt mean you are not good at it.endprint

Last summer I go to America and studied at a language school. I had many wonderful experience, but I also had a sad one. One day, the school held party, where I was invited to talk about Tianjin. After that they asked me a lot of things about China. But I couldnt explain it in English clearly. I felt sadly. I learnt a lesson in this experience. I have already studied English for eight years, and I cant use it very good. I must work hard to improve my spoken English so that I will not be able to communicate freely with foreigners. I hope I can be a bridge between China and others countries in the future.

It is a pleasure for me to write this letter to tell how much I enjoyed my stay in your whole family last week. This was my first visit to a English family. At first, I was worried about my poor English. And when I saw your wife and children waiting for me with warm smiles of welcome on their faces, I immediate knew that everything would be all right. There are many more happy memories of the week that I will keep with me forever. I particularly enjoyed driving through the countryside with you and saw the changing colors of the leaf on the trees. I also like the fishing trip. It was such much fun.

I was a high school student then, from low-income family. So I have to work to support my family. My first one job was to clean the tables in a small restaurant. I still remember going there early and felt anxious about the new world. I worked harder because I was afraid of lose the job. At night, I was sometimes very tired to do my homework. And I came to understand that it was not easy to earn money, and that knowledges could change my life. So what I learned in the job was much more important as what I earned.

Many students feel it that a popular teacher must be kind and easy-going. He and she should make the class very active for joking with the students. However, the popular teacher is at same time the one who should be strict with students. Last year, my English teacher proved to be the more popular in our school. She was usual patient with her students and never made them disappointing. She always stays in full control of the situations. She always made sure that our homework was finished on time, but she marked strictly students performance.

One day in the restaurant where I worked, I am serving a table of four and each person had ordered a difference kind of fish. Three plate were already on the table when the man closest to me pointing to one plate and asked me the name of the fish on it. Before I could answer him, he continued to ask me the name of the fish on another one plate. I was about to answer him while I noticed that the last plate on my tray(托盘) began to fall. They fell noisily to the floor seconds late, spreading its contents on the carpet. Everyone stared me and I stood there with the red face.endprint
