In 2004,I was 22 years old and had just come back to Brazil after 14 months in England,holding my Cambridge Proficiency certificate.After nervously 21 a short training course,I began to give classes to my 12 students,all of them older than I was. I 22 hard to remain clam in class and 23 they wouldn't find out how unconfident I felt most of the time.I was quite _24_,actually,until the end of 25 and the night of the final oral test.
The test was going to start at 7 pm,and at 6:50, I_ 26 myself in the teachers bathroom to 27 all the test questions again.I really wanted to learn the 28 by heart so no one would think I was an inexperienced tester.The 29 is,I actually locked myself in the bathroom.I 30 couldn't get out!The bell rang at 7 pm and I could hear the noise in the halls 31 the students went to their rooms.I tried hard to 32 the bathroom door,but failed.
I heard the cleaning lady’s voice and asked for help as 33 as I could, However, she wasn't exactly a thoughtful person, and started 34 ：“Diana’s locked in the bathroom!”Shame had fallen upon me! 35 , the course director, the secretary and some teachers were outside the bathroom trying to get me out, and, 36 ,my students gathered outside too, happily saying things like“Aren’t we 37 ! No test today!”All I could do was 38 , and my entire 39 was waiting for me outside, naughty smiles on their faces.“ 40 ！Teacher.”They said,“We know you are human too!”
They all passed their test.True to the Brazilian style, we all went out for a beer afterwards, and laughed the whole thing off.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 36 teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 37 the same things thousand and one times, do not 38me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 39 you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my 42little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you 43 to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the 44 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 45to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well 46I need to and when not. When my 47legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 48 , the same way I did when you gave your first 49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 50any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 51my mistakes, I always wanted the 52 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me 53you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 54 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.

I like to give my praise to anyone whenever and wherever I can. I'll tell you why.
It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had been lost, and my feet 36 . The loaded plates I was carrying 37 to be heavier and heavier. Tired and 38 , I didn't seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice－cream 39 a dozen times, I was ready to 40 . Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. "Well done," he said, "you've looked after us really well." 41 my tiredness disappeared. I 42 back, and later, when the manager asked me how I'd 43 my first day, I said, " 44 !" Those few words of 45 had changed everything. Praise is like sunlight to the human 46 ; we can not flower and grow without it. And yet, 47 moat of us are only too ready to 48 to others the cold wind of criticism, we are 49 to give our fellows the warm 50 of praise. Why one word of praise can bring such pleasure?
It's 51 how chary(吝惜的) we are about praising. Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept it. It's especially 52 to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes 53
or unmentioned. Do you, however, 54 tell your laundry(洗衣店) manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact, to give praise costs the giver 55 but a moment's though and a moment's effort.
