Mr. Collins finally 9 . “True talent,” he said, “lies in the ability to create something beautiful together.” Sensing there was no 10 , we calmed down and changed our attitudes. Gradually, we discovered each member’s 11 — one’s beautiful voice, another’s perfect rhythm and a third’s enormous enthusiasm. Through debates and laughter, we learned to 12 our talents.

I constantly ran toward the next goal, rarely stopping to enjoy the present. When I began my final semester abroad in England as an exchange student, I didn’t expect that fast pace to 5 . I arrived in England jet-lagged and disoriented (晕头转向). Despite the 6 , I still reached for my to-do list to plan my tasks in the next long drive to the campus. But the moment I stepped onto campus, something was different — yet, 7 , it felt familiar. The campus was calm and students led a 8 and slow life.

His grades were 1 , and he lacked clear ambition, content with being an unremarkable student. One day, during lunch, a sudden power failure sent the 2 into darkness, causing chaos as students bumped into tables and chairs. Teachers struggled to 3 order, but the students were too panicked to respond. During the 4 , Jack noticed a freshman named Lily who had fallen and was crying, with her books and lunch 5 around. Moved by her trouble, Jack stepped forward to help her up and shouted for everyone to 6 . His voice cut through the noise, 7 students to help each other find their way out. The cafeteria gradually fell silent, and with Jack’s calm guidance, students began to 8 one another. Jack’s actions did not go unnoticed. He was no longer 9 as a laid-back student; instead, he was recognized for his 10 and courage. 11 by the positive comment, Jack decided to propose a mutual-help (互助) programme to the school principal. The programme 12 to pair older students with freshmen to help them settle the 13 of high school. With devotion and hard work, Jack successfully established the mutual-help programme.

Every day is filled with homework, exams, and the pressure of the 2 college entrance examination. There have been moments when I felt like 3 , buried under the weight of it all. One particular evening, I was struggling with a difficult math problem. No matter how hard I 4 , I just couldn’t find the right approach. Frustration 5 up inside me, and I closed the 6 with a bang, thinking about quitting. But then, I remembered the story of Thomas Edison. He 7 thousands of times before he finally invented the light bulb. If he could 8 through so many setbacks, why couldn’t I? I took a deep breath, picked up the book again, and made a fresh start. This time, I broke the 9 down into smaller parts and 10 each one step by step. Slowly but 11 , I began to make progress. When I finally solved the problem, a huge sense of 12 washed over me. This small 13 taught me a valuable lesson. Perseverance is not just a word, it’s the key to success. In the face of difficulties, giving up is the easiest option, but it 14 nowhere.

I thought the sun would shine down upon us, and we’d be 1 fascinated by nature. But when we had our first class, it wasn’t what I had 2 . I had the students pile rocks and used the rocks to talk about 3 our lives — choosing joy over stress. My students weren’t into it. I went home feeling 4 . Then it 5 me: these young teens simply needed freedom to explore. So I abandoned my 6 lessons and let them wander through the woods, observing and enjoying their surroundings. The 7 was remarkable. Their faces lit up with joy each week. Living in northern Michigan sometimes meant we went outside in freezing cold weather, but giving them space worked 8 . They threw snowballs, collected bird feathers, 9 the changing leaves and watched as rivers flowed by. One day, they were 10 land art with rocks and autumn leaves when: a man appeared, playing a flute. The students gathered around him and 11 for him after the song was over. One boy skipped back to his creation, declaring, “I’m so 12 .” The students didn’t need 13 lesson plans or art supplies. All they needed was 14 being outdoors.

I have nice features, big eyes, and a good figure. But no one can notice my beauty 4 my hair. Unlike everyone else’s smooth 5 , mine is wild. It curls (卷曲) and cannot be 6 back in a ponytail or tucked behind my ear. It’s different-and they hate that.

Only four people looked at me, and just one held it for longer than a second. He looked at me for five full seconds. It may not seem long, but it felt like 9 , especially since everyone else looked away. When I was by my locker, McKenna came up and 10 my hair again. This time, I looked her in the eye. “Worry about your own hair and leave mine alone,” I said 11 . She froze, and the kids with her quickly turned away. Maybe they couldn’t 12 my eyes because they feared I would understand them — their need to fit in, their 13 of being different, and how being popular matters more than being 14 .

Since she has 1 problems, students used to just point at the 2 they wanted. And no one could offer Leisa a simple 3 like “good morning” in sign language. Fourth grade teacher Kari noticed pupils struggling to 4 with Leisa, so she decided to do something. Having taken American Sign Language (ASL), Kari 5 to teach her pupils a few words to make ordering lunch easier, along with making Leisa feel like the well-loved 6 of the community that she is. Happily, when the principal heard about Kari’s 7 , he asked Kari to teach the entire school how to sign! Every day students and staff learn and practice a new 8 . They also learn how to 9 the words for the food options that day. The principal feels that 10 sign language to the school community has been a bonding experience for everyone. Actually it was so 11 that they decided to keep it going all year round. Being able to speak with Leisa makes students emotional, and they are all 12 about learning sign language. Seeing her idea to teach ASL is 13 for everyone, Kari is thrilled. Learning someone else’s language is one of the 14 ways to show them you care.

It sets the 1 for an article, telling readers when to move fast or stop. And I have my 2 . I use fewer commas than my English teachers would have liked. My father is a huge fan of the semicolon (分号). He can’t 3 using it, but I use a long dash instead — it has the same effect, but it feels 4 . The dash is a gentle hand on your arm. The semicolon marks you as a (n) 5 person, whose writing makes people feel as if they were 6 a 19th-century novel. Dad often uses so many semicolons that his articles develop a 7 rhythm. He used to send me a weekly letter. Just a few paragraphs later, I found myself 8 my heavy eyelids. Naturally, when I 9 someone, I capitalized (用大写字母书写) letters I was supposed to capitalize and input punctuation. It was a big 10 , but I didn’t want to seem as though I didn’t 11 . Right away I could understand why some people don’t take the trouble; 12 , it is not an effortless task. Text messaging has its own punctuation rule. Think about this case. If you send someone “Are you going to the party tonight?” and she replies, “No,” so you have your 13 . If she capitalizes it and adds a period after it, you know she’s 14 not going, and it seems your message 15 her.

I thought the sun would shine down upon us, and we’d be 1 fascinated by nature. But when we had our first class, it wasn’t what I had 2 . I had the students pile rocks and used the rocks to talk about 3 our lives — choosing joy over stress. My students weren’t into it. I went home feeling 4 . Then it 5 me: these young teens simply needed freedom to explore. So I abandoned my 6 lessons and let them wander through the woods, observing and enjoying their surroundings. The 7 was remarkable. Their faces lit up with joy each week. Living in northern Michigan sometimes meant we went outside in freezing cold weather, but giving them space worked 8 . They threw snowballs, collected bird feathers, 9 the changing leaves and watched as rivers flowed by. One day, they were 10 land art with rocks and autumn leaves when: a man appeared, playing a flute. The students gathered around him and 11 for him after the song was over. One boy skipped back to his creation, declaring, “I’m so 12 .” The students didn’t need 13 lesson plans or art supplies. All they needed was 14 being outdoors.
