It was Sunday morning. A butcher(屠夫) heard the doorbell(门铃) and thought it must be a customer. But he was surprised to see that a dog was coming into his shop. The dog had $10 and a note in its mouth. The butcher took the note and read it. It said,“10 pork chops(排骨), please. ”So the butcher took the money and put a bag of chops in the dog’s mouth.
Then he quickly closed the shop because he decided to follow the dog. He found the dog on the street. The dog was waiting for a green light. Then the dog walked across the road. The dog went to a bus stop. When a bus arrived, the dog checked the number and then got on the bus.

A teacher from a western country visited a school in an eastern country．In one class，she watched sixty children learn to draw a cat．The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard, and sixty children copied it on their paper．The teacher drew a small one on the top of the big one and then put two small triangles(三角形)on the top of it．The children drew in the same way．The lesson wept on until there were sixty-one cats in the classroom．Each student’s cat looked exactly the same as that on the blackboard．
The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was surprised because the teaching methods were different from those in her country．A children’s art lesson in her country produced a lot of pictures，and each one is quite different from the others．Why? What makes this difference in educational methods? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches more than art or history or language．

Mrs. Smith is an unusual teacher. Once she told each student to bring along a few potatoes in plastic bag. On each potato the students had to write a name of a person that they hated And the next day, every child brought some potatoes. Some had two potatoes；some three；some up to five.
Mrs. Smith then told the children to carry the bags everywhere they went, even to the toilet, for two weeks. As day after day passed, the children started to complain(抱怨)about the awful smell of the rotten（腐烂的）potatoes.
Those children who brought five potatoes began to feel the weight trouble of the bags. After two weeks, the children were happy to hear that the game was finally ended. Mrs. Smith asked,“How did you feel while carrying the potatoes for two weeks?” The children started complaining about the trouble loudly．

The terrible smell of the hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry something unnecessary with you all the time. If you cannot stand the smell of the rotten potatoes for just two weeks, can you imagine how heavy it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your lifetime?

Now teachers are beginning to worry about students’ English handwriting(书写).They write carelessly and make the words or sentences ugly to look at. Is your English handwriting beautiful?
If not, here are four steps that really work!
Use paper with lines
Using paper that has lines can keep you writing well when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lied space completely.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, writing slowly makes handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it is hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse you may make more mistakes.
Hold your pen right
When you hold your pen in the correct way, writing is much easier .Some students press(按压)down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pen so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.
Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.
