An All-School Reunion was to be held in Barditch High School. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak:
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination.”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:
“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar (呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

Today, kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
● 1.
Recording everything to be done will help him keep track of important dates and deadlines. With proper plan he will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
2.. I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it’s always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus, just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Get enough sleep
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. 3.. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends, he can “blow off some steam” so to speak, as well as re-energize. 4..
● Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you. 5.. If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help, you will contribute to his emotional health and build an open and honest relationship as well.
A.The more sleep we get, the more alert we are
B.Create a personal schedule
C.Encourage him to get outside
D.Encourage your child to be positive
E.Setting an alarm for the morning is a must
F.Help your child work better to realize his aim
