I strongly believe that we can have an important effect(影响) on anyone we meet. The right words at just the right time could totally change someone’s life.
Years ago, that’s what happened to me. My life was completely changed because a simple three-word phrase was delivered(发出) at the right time in just the right way.When I was 3 years old, my parents discovered I was deaf. After asking many doctors and parents of other deaf children, they decided to put me in a normal school. On my first day at school, the other kids made fun of me because of my hearing aid (助听器) and the way I talked. I was hurt deeply and I saw myself as an ugly kid. Mrs. Green, my teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase. One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her lips(嘴唇) and raised my hand right away. She called on me in front of the blackboard. I took a deep breath and nervously answered Mrs. Green’s question.
I will never forget what happened next. Mrs. Green pointed directly at me. With a big smile she cried: “That’s right, Ben!” For the first time in my young life, my confidence(自信) rose.
At that moment, I decided that no matter how many difficulties I may face, I can overcome (克服) them. Thanks to those three simple words, my whole life changed from that moment.
