Years ago, while I lived in England, part of my college task was to help the children with special needs. I was chosen to in a school with disabled children. The teacher asked me to Nancy, a ten-year-old girl. One of hands could not move. At her school the teachers would think it was an achievement(成就，成绩) she was able to put on her own coat. But I saw more in her. She had always wanted to put a string the hole of a key.
For the 5 years Nancy was in the school, the teachers always to help her, but always ended up doing all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do , so I encouraged her to do something herself. At first Nancy often failed and got very . Sometimes I wanted to give up too. , after a week Nancy was able to do she had wanted to alone for so many years. Her teachers cried when they saw the thing she was able to do with just some encouragement.
Disabled people should be told they can’t do this or that. With just some encouragement they can do it. The look that girl’s face when she was able to do it herself meant to me. I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves telling them they can’t do it.

As a teenager, I am often asked what I am going to be in the future. A lawyer? A doctor? Or a scientist? No, my ideal career is to be a teacher. One of the for that is I want to be a teacher like Mr. Chen.
“Look! Do you know what it is? A-ha, it’s the ! And it will always move around the sun.” Mr. Chen said and pointed to his head. He then touched the nose and , “Can you tell me the name of this mountain? It is the highest mountain on Earth! What’s the of it? Yes, it’s 8844.43 metres…” I’ll never forget my first geography lesson. He was humorous that we all fell in love with his lessons . It’s Mr. Chen who opened the door of geography for us.
Generally speaking, most of the teachers are strict students and sometimes a little bit demanding（苛求的）, not so with Mr. Chen. He is a lighthouse（灯塔）, showing us the way to the treasure of knowledge. He is a friend and easy to get with, always encouraging us to speak out loud without about our shyness and other disadvantages. He is an example, volunteering his time to students and other teachers
One day I happened to meet him in the hospital. Seeing the cut on his arm, I realized he was donating his . I was moved and was another lesson, a lesson of love and devotion.
Every time I see my globe（地球仪）, it would me of Mr. Chen. He is the most unforgettable teacher I have met and he will always be. Someday I hope I am to be a teacher like him.
Thank you, Mr Chen, thank you for making learning not a job but a joy.
Thank you for helping me to discover what I can do and to do it even .
Thank you for understanding all of us and giving us the time and care each of us needs.
