Question

17．I worked from the time when I was four and raised seven children，all of them college graduates．It seemed I'd done everything I'd ever wanted to do in my life，but I had one regret．I was born in 1898，the oldest of five kids．Papa couldn't spare me to go to school，so I worked in the fields with him till l was 21 years old．
Everywhere I went，I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can't read the alphabet．People cheat you out of wages．They sell you a ticket to one city，take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else．By 1928，I'd been wandering for nine years．I met a woman named Elzenia．We fell in love，married and moved to D allas，where I got work fixing roads for the city．WhenA melia，the oldest of our seven children，first went to school，I took my wife aside．"Elzenia，"I said．"I don't want the kids to know I can't read or write．"
In 1938，one day my boss called me in．"George，"he said．"No one knows those machines like you do．I'd like to promote you．"But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said，"Fill out this application and we'll get you a raise．"I couldn't admit the truth．I thanked him and walked out of his office．I did stay right where I was，until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire．But I didn't stop working．For the next 25years，I lived a happy life，but it still seemed to me like something was missing．A young fellow handed me a piece of paper．It's information about adult education classes．People can learn to read and write．Now I'm 98．I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn't read．After all these years，my secret would be out．But all my life I've wanted to read．It was high time for action．

The young man drove me to…The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom，which was crowded with elderly people like me．Through chatting，I learned that they had all been longing to read and write out never had the chance to go to school．As the bell rang，in came the teacher，a woman well past forty．After a warm and brief greeting，we started our lesson．First we learned to read the alphabet and though I made mistakes at times，no one laughed at me．Everyone helped each other with open-hearted enjoyment．
Paragraph 2：
I'm still going to school．I'm still going to school．Though faced with the most challenging event of my life，I'm full of courage and confidence．With the generous help of my teacher，friends and my children，I have made huge progress in study．Now I'm never shy about admitting the truth that once I was not able to read and write at all．Besides，I'm eager to encourage more elderly people to attend the adult education classes，because it's never too late to learn．．
