A class teacher,in my opinion,plays an important role in a child's development.Every year when my daughter moves to a new class,I have a usual big worry﹣her new class teacher.This year,she is moving to Class Three and I can't wait to see how things are going on.
Last year,my daughter did not like her teacher at all.It was so bad that she did not look forward to school.It was a year full of trouble and worries.
This year,Miss Purity is gentle and humorous.It's hard not to like her.Here are the changes in my daughter.
She becomes an early bird.Last year,mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school.I had to pull her out of bed,tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school.But now,our mornings are like a party.She wakes up early,prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.
She's happy.She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.
She's responsible.She used to be careless and forgetful.But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school.She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen
Her diary is full of praises.The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents.Last year,her diary was always full of negative reports.One time,she poured water in a child's lunchbox,another time she threw another kid's textbook in the toilet.Now she began to share her snacks with those who did not have anything.She's always volunteering to clean the blackboard,the teacher's chair and desk.
She does well in school.Finishing her classwork was such a big problem.She had to do it at home.But now,she finished both the classwork and homework at school.

Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the homework and didn’t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out for themselves.
One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories. One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping a dog to find its owner, and another student had been trying to find a long, lost friend. Students were energized (给予活力) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. With the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind---not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.
Since then, similar kindness activities have been started in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a different kind act, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and thank about how small actions can make the world a better place. The professor’s homework was to ask his students _________.
A.to write about kindness. |
B.to be kind to strangers |
C.to spend time helping other |
D.to go out to raise money |

If you plan to take your pet on a trip,prepare ahead of time. At least two weeks before you leave,take your pet to a vet. See if he or she is tit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.
Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections(注射)before they can be allowed to enter. Your vet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries, check with their consulates (领事馆).You can also ask the airlines on which you are travelling.
Find out if the places where you plan to stay allow pets because many do not.
If you are going by plane or train,ask if pets are allowed. If they are,ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.
Choose your pet’s box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they can' be chewed(嚼碎).
If going by plane or train during warm weather,try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid (避免)very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from cold.
