I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of whom laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm .
"I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very , I will do!"
When it was possible, he would spend an hour to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons, himself to be the person in the speech.
"In the beginning, the chickens looked so , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more and I had a better understanding of the exact of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
"You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(专横的). He believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not much.' During the whole childhood, I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which my shy personality. I used to worry about being at, so I became a stammer. From then on, I kept in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared , therefore I regained my ."
Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can them by yourself.

I was assigned to take care of this patient a couple of weeks ago and began to grow closer to her. Communicating with her was 1 because everything she wanted to say to me had to be written on a notepad. As a nursing graduate, I was able to 2 her mind by observing even a slight 3 in a patient's facial expression.
One day, when I was checking the patient，she 4 me on the shoulder to show me a note，"Do you think I could be let go 5 the hospital in a month to see my niece get married?，，Taking her hand in mine, I told her that I could not 6 her，because I did not want to leave her a 7 sense of hope. 8，I made her believe that I would be there with her every step of the way on her journey toward 9 .

Day by day, I built her 11 by walking around the floor with her. As I did this, I could see before my own eyes that her health was 12 improving and able to walk more steadily. On her last day in hospital, just before her niece’s 13 ，she wrote me one last note, “I couldn’t have done this 14 you; I love you.” After kissing goodbye, I had a strong sense of achievement. I realized that moments like this were 15 I woke up early for 16 in the hospital and spent long hours with her. I truly felt, and her 17 confirmed, that I was an 18 part of this woman’s recovery.

A good student is always equated to one who gets good grades. But is that all that a good student is? What is a 1 good student? Is he someone who is the teacher's pet? Someone who tops every test?

He is instead someone who will do his work sincerely and put in all his efforts without compromising on quality.
