Do you remember the name of your kindergarten(幼儿园) teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs White.

I don’t remember much about 1 we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we 2 write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she could see there were so many mistakes. 3 no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! It worried my mother, so one day she went to 4 Mrs White and asked her why she 5 corrected my mistakes.

And my mother says Mrs White said “The children are just 6 to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to lose the interests with red ink(墨水). 7 and grammar can wait. The wonder of 8 won’t... ”.Maybe she didn’t say it exactly like that at that moment. And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember.

I 9 now and think Mrs White must have been a rather 10 teacher. She encouraged joy, wonder and excitement — even if our expression of it was 11 . Because she believed a bud(花蕾)once nipped(掐断) never opens.

I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. Never could quite remember that the e went 12 the a. It annoyed my teacher in high school very much. If I was going to use the word so often, she considered the 13 I could do was spell it right. Finally the e’s and a’s were in their right places. Am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is 14 to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And 15 Mrs White I had no worries about writing what I meant. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s Baeutiful.
