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， 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 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 do best and to do it even .
Thank you for understanding all of us and giving us the time and care each of us needs.

Dear Sigmund Friend
My name is Simon and I am a Grade 9 student. I am crazy 1 football! I love 2 football, reading about football, and of course, playing football. My dream 3 a great football player. However, my love of football has become a big problem, and I would like your 4 .
I have 5 friends, and we always play football together at school or in the park after school. We like staying out late to play football. We often play for three hours or more and forget when to stop. Then I 6 trouble at home because my parents do not allow me to play outside after 6 p.m. I really do not understand why they are so strict. I feel stressed and angry7 . I believe it is important for us to spend some time on our hobbies. They can help us relax and make our lives 8 .I wish I could have my parents’ 9 .
Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less time on it? I really do not know10 . Can you please advise me how to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies? Thanks a lot.
Best wishes
Simon

I am a person who can get angry easily. But since I read an article 1 by my English teacher, things have changed a lot. I’m2 at a boarding (寄宿的) school. So I3 learn not only how to study well, but also how to4 with others. Some of us are outgoing 5 others are quiet. It is 6 that people have problems and arguments. So how can we be tolerant（宽容的，容忍的）? Smiling 7 others is the easiest way. Another way is 8 if your ideas are reasonable (有道理的) and right 9 having an argument. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep an open mind. Try10 them. 11 a friend is much better than having an enemy after all. Also 12 point out other’s mistakes in public. This will make people lose 13 and get angry. If you really want to help, send a letter instead. On the other hand, if 14 points out your disadvantages, don’t be angry. Just think this is a person who really __15___to help you and become friends. Remember: Tolerance makes life easier.

With a hat by his feet, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building. He held up a sign which said, “I’m blind, please help.”
Only a few people put 1in the hat. A man was walking by. He 2some coins into the hat. He then turned the sign 3, wrote some words, put the sign back and left.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people 4 to give money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see 5things were. The boy recognized his footsteps （认出他的脚步声）and asked, “Were you the one who 6my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a 7way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, 8 I cannot see it.”
Both the 9told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply 10people to help by throwing some money into the 11 . The second one, however, told people that they were able to enjoy the 12of the day, but the boy couldn’t 13he was blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn 14this story. First, be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help them if you can. 15, be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!
A thousand years ago Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more people came to 1 in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is 2 forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods.
Elephants, tigers and many 3 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the 4 began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and 5 pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed 6 to keep themselves warm in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them. So did 7 of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon 8 in the same way.
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong 9 in the zoos. But there are still about 36 different animals 10 there. One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer. These are beautiful little animals 11 a rich brown coat and a white patch (补丁) under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet（英尺） 12 . They make a noise rather like a dog 13 . In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy-- 14 . People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important 15 people to protect wild animals.
