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.

I like all kinds of chocolate, especially bitter chocolate. So when Mother had bought one, I couldn’t help thinking about 36 .
I was helping Father in the yard when suddenly I got an idea. I could cut a piece 37 that chocolate without anyone knowing it.
I waited 38 Mother went outside feeding the chickens. Then I told Father I wanted to go for a drink of water. I went into the room and got the 39 down. Just when I had the knife ready to cut, I heard Mother coming. So I had to put the chocolate 40 into my shirt,
went to my mom and 41 the chocolate there. And then I went back to 42 Father.
All the rest of the afternoon, I didn’t dare to look at Father. Every time he spoke, it made me jump. My hands began shaking and my heart started 43 fast. I didn’t want the chocolate any more. I 44 wanted to get a chance to put it back.
