I’m still remembering my science teacher, Mr. Jackson. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called wampus. He told us that the wampus lived on earth millions of years ago during the Ice Age and died out because of the change of climate(气候). We all listened carefully and took _______ of everything he said. Later we had a test.

When the exam paper was returned to me, I was _______ and sad. There was a big red “×” through each of my answers. I failed. But how come? Anyway, on the test paper, I had written down _______ Mr. Jackson said in class.

Then I realized that no one passed the exam at all. What had happened?

“Very simple,” Mr. Jackson explained. “I had _______ all that story about the wampus. There had never been any such animal, so the information in your notes was not correct. Do you _________ to get high marks for incorrect answers?”

There was no need to say we were _______. What kind of test was this? What kind of teacher was he?

How could we believe he gave us so much information about an animal that had not been there at all? How was it possible for us students to doubt what the teacher taught us?

“The zeros on your papers will be _______ in your grade books,” he said. And he did it.

Through this _______ Mr. Jackson hoped that we would learn something. Teachers and books are not always right. In fact, no one is. He told us not to let our mind go to sleep. _______, we should keep thinking all the time and speak up if we think there are mistakes in our teachers’ words or in books.

We should develop the habit of ________, and the ability to decide by ourselves. What a special lesson he gave us!

I really enjoyed my experience as an English language assistant in Barcelona. Coming to the end of my assistantship, I start to think about what the future might hold.

1. When I first arrived in Terrassa I was excited and nervous about the life in a country I love.

2. It wasn’t powerful but enough to make me spend some nights thinking about family and friends back home.

All that started to change after meeting some new friends. I spent good time with them.

3.I visited home for Christmas in December. When I came back, it was like returning to a second home. Things got even busier and more people came into my life.

4. Should I return home to Scotland, or stay here much longer?

To travel and visit other places is one of the most wonderful things we can do in life. Learning about the world is such an important thing to do.

5. You may find somewhere you were always supposed to be.
