题目内容

“Scotty!” Mr. Brown, my Year 11 English teacher, called me by my nickname (绰号) across the classroom. His eyes were bright and a secret   36   was half hidden behind the beard.

Once he finished joking over my unbearable   37  , I realized he was going to read my story aloud to the class. I turned red, feeling at once both embarrassed and   38  . I had my very   39   reading audience! Though my classmates were a ‘passive audience’, it didn’t weaken my feeling of being   40  .

After that, I came to   41   those Year 11 English classes. Throughout school I had always studied hard and achieved well in my school subjects. But creative   42   was a passion, and it was not an assignment, but a way of understanding the world and of   43   my thoughts and feelings about events and attitudes.

Mr. Brown was the first to   44   me for my writing so openly. My scores were always 19/20 or 20/20. My stories were often read out to the class. He even   45   one with the respected Head of English teachers, which was the most   46   part that is impressed on my memory. But   47   that, he offered a belief in me that no other teacher had.

My school   48   often stated, ‘Candice is a quiet achiever.’ I thought it was meant as a(n)   49   for being hard-working. I was someone that no one really   50   before, but Mr. Brown managed to   51   all that by bringing me to the attention of the world. Though it was the relatively   52   world of school, it put the seed of belief in myself that some day I could be an   53   person rather than the person who faded into the background.

I   54   touch with my teacher long ago, as we do when we move away from the school system and enter life. I wish I could tell him now how much he   55   me.
