A

All through grade school, I got extra help with schoolwork. If I got a D, I was very happy. If I got a C-minus (C-), I had achieved greatness. A’s and B’s were a kingdom I could never enter.

Once my teacher, Miss Mills, had given me a list of ten spelling words. My mother and I went over the list until I knew those words. I felt great. I thought, “Wow! This time, I'm going to pass.” The next day, I went into the classroom and began to write down the words. The first word was carpet. I wrote that one down: c-a-r-p-e-t. I was feeling pretty confident. Then came neighbor — I wrote down the letter n. Then rhythm — I knew there was an r. Suburban — I wrote s-u-b. My

confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe a D-minus. Where did the words go?

Some people talk about information sliding off your brain. That was my life. I was an underachiever（未能充分发挥学习潜力者）.

Now I know I have dyslexia (通读困难症). A person with dyslexia might see the as teh, and bird as brid. My brain learns differently. A learning disability can really change the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently, I can still be filled with greatness.

Today when I visit schools as an actor, director, and co-author of children’s books, I tell children that everyone has something special inside. It’s our job to find out what that is and get it out, and  give it to the world as a gift.

In the Chinese history, writing tools play an important role. Among them, the writing brush is the first one that should be paid attention to.

The beginning of the writing brush in China can date back to the Neolithic age (新石器

时代) while it is popular during  the  Warring  States  period (战国时期).The tool is widely used in Chinese writing and painting.

Nowadays, many primary schools have calligraphy classes (书法) where teachers teach

students how to use the writing brush to enjoy Chinese traditional culture. The soft brush can leave strong lines on paper. But that only comes through years of hard work. If you want to write Chinese characters well and be a famous writing artist, you need to practise writing for a long time.

For many Chinese artists, the brush is more than a writing tool. “When I pick up the writing brush, suddenly my ideas and even stories build a relationship with the brush,” said Liu Qinghe, a famous Chinese artist. With a good writing brush, when we put our ideas into it,
