I was in the 23 with my mother when a woman whose daughter was in the choir started 24 us. The woman suggested I 25 ,and for some reason I still dont know,I was 26  and told my mother that when she drove me back.

             During the days leading up to my audition for the choir I was very 27 . My worst fear was singing in front of someone I didn't  know. I had many,many 28 . about auditioning,but I knew I couldnt back down. I was shaking when I first started 29  for the director of the choir,but I 30 to get through the song. To my 31  , I was accepted. Immediately,my 32  grew.

             I believe that being a 33  of the choir helped me greatly with the transition into high school. That summer,I learned that I had been 34  into the advanced choir.

         School-age children who do charity work are likely to display better moral judgments than those who play sport,according to a large-scale national survey conducted by Birmingham University.

         The survey of 10 ,000 pupils aged 14 and 15 in secondary schools across the UK found that more than half failed to identify what researchers described as good judgments when responding to a series of moral dilemmas,leading researchers to call for schools to have a more active role in teaching character and morality.

        “A good grasp of moral virtues,such as kindness,honesty and courage,can help children to succeed as human beings,and can also l^ad to improvements in the classroom. And that level of understanding needs to be educated and encouraged/' said Prof James Arthur from Birmingham University.

         Overall onlv 42% of students’ responses matched those selected by a group of experts. Students wno saia they did charity work outside of school scored 50% . Those doing music (48%) or drama (48%) were also better able to make good moral judgments. Contrary to popular opinion,students who said they participated in port did not show better moral juagmenib. me researchers also found that girls displayed greater moral : awareness than boys in all areas,with 47% of girls making the right choices compared with just 37% of boys.

        The Department for Education (DfE) has recently encouraged the teaching of moral values,but a majority of teachers surveyed as part of the research said the focus on academic attainment prevented the development of students’ character. A Dffi spokesperson said, “Character education is a central part of our plan for education. That”s  why we are investing £10 million to help ensure pupils develop the virtues they need to succeed in both their academic studies and in later life. 

        But the researchers found that a school s GCSE(普

通中等教育证书) results did not seem to influence the moral dilemma results among students. UA school with below-average GCSE results could still rank highly when itcomestomoraldilemmas” the researchers noted.
