Mr. Forest taught us English. He was one of the most strict 【小题1】 (teach) in our school.

Mr. Forest checked our homework every day and put marks on each mistake with a red pen. Sometimes I 【小题2】 (complete) lost control after getting my paper back. There were so many marks that I couldn’t even tell what I had written 【小题3】 (I). If I didn’t do well enough, he would ask me to do the homework a 【小题4】 (two) time.

Mr. Forest was very patient as well. He was always there to help me 【小题5】 I had some problems. As time went by, I 【小题6】 (find) fewer and fewer red marks in my homework.

I used to 【小题7】 (agree) about the way Mr. Forest graded our homework, but now I’m a teacher and I get to understand him well. I also put red marks on my students’ papers because it can help them learn better.

Learning is like 【小题8】 (build) a house. We all need to be prepared to start at 【小题9】 bottom and work our way up. If Mr. Forest hadn’t been so strict 【小题10】 me, I wouldn’t be who I am today. That’s what tough love is all about.

Don’t forget that Lee is moving to a new school next w【小题2】. Art class is his f【小题3】, and I think we can make a painting for him as a g【小题4】. Do you think this is a good i【小题5】?

I do not have any paint at home, so I am 【小题6】 (go) to the art store tomorrow after school 【小题7】 my mom. We can work on the painting together. Lee’s l【小题8】 day at our school is Friday, so we have to f【小题9】 it before then. Let me k【小题10】 what you think.

Daniella

You are leaving our class soon. You will set out on your new journey.

I am proud of you 【小题1】 you have grown up and you can make your own decisions. You see, as your teacher, I have been with you to make you 【小题2】 (feel) good for about three years. But now things are going to be different. You are going to say goodbye and start a new journey. It will be filled 【小题3】 something interesting. 【小题4】 (live) in the world will require love and courage. So I hope someone will give you some 【小题5】 (suggest) and teach you more when you have difficulties. At 【小题6】 same time, don’t forget to work hard. Without hard work, it is 【小题7】 (possible) for you to achieve your dream.

Remember the books are fantastic, you can find your favorite articles there. Remember that it’s 【小题8】 (good) to keep than to give up, and the key is 【小题9】 (learn) from your failure (失败). Sometimes facing difficult situations can make you much stronger, and there will also be something wonderful waiting for you.

Believe in 【小题10】 (you)! What you give to the world, the world will give back.

Yours,

Mr. Green
