  My dad is very unique because of his personality and lifestyle.For instance, put his watch on his left hand, even though he's a lefty, and parking his car only in the garage is just his thing and doesn't change.

  My father only wears suits during the week because it's something very professional and formal.He loves to teach what he knows, from teaching my mother, aunt, and sisters driving skills to teaching his kids vocabulary.Also, whenever he is asked to do something at work, whatever it is, he will always complete the task on time.

  My mother buys most of his clothes, as he hates big crowds.In his house, children watch TV only after finishing all homework, which he believes is the best, because the child does his homework and still stays happy.

  One of my father's main focuses in life is making sure his children grow up the right way, like he did.He grew up with one sister in Chicago.As he got older, he got married to my mother who is three years younger than him.

  My dad is an individual with numerous qualities.His personality is just very wonderful to live with.The manners he shows are so refined and probably much better than most people.I admire my father and want to be just like him when I grow up.

A good relationship with teachers today may help you in the future. You will need teachers’ written recommendations (推荐信) to apply to a college or for a job after high school. Teachers are another group of adults in your life who can look out for you, guide you, and provide you with advice. They are willing to answer questions and help you with your personal problems.

We all have our favorite teachers—those who seem truly interested in us and treat us as smart people. You can do lots of things to develop a good relationship with you teachers. Show up for class on time, finishing all homework. Be respectful and ask questions. Show an interest in the subject. Show the teacher that you care.

If you’re having problems with the teacher, try to figure out why. If you don’t like the subject being taught, it can affect your relationship with the teacher. If you find a subject hard, talk to your teacher or a parent about extra tutoring. If you find it boring, talk to your teacher about some other ways of learning.

What if you just don’t like the teacher?When it comes to working with teachers, personality (个性) can come into play just as it can in any relationship. Learning to work with people you don’t connect with easily is a good skill no matter what your goals are.

Before you try to get out of a class to escape a teacher you don’t like, here are a few things you can do to make a difficult relationship work.

●Meet with the teacher and try to communicate what you’re feeling. Tell him or her what’s in your mind.

●Turn to the school counselor (指导老师), who can offer some suggestions for getting out of a

difficult relationship. Sometimes a counselor can act as a mediator between you and the teacher.

●If your relationship problems can’t be solved in school, then it’s time to tell your parents. Let them meet with your teacher and try to work them out.

Teachers are there for more than just homework and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner. Undoubtedly, there will be a few teachers along the way who you’ll always remember and who might change your life forever.

Life is full of challenges. School has to be the most challenging difficulty in the lives of youth today.

Elementary school brings about a few challenges characteristic of those years spent there. There’s the challenge of coloring in lines, a very real problem to any youngster. Or how about the challenge of remembering to raise one’s hand before one speaks? There are hundreds of rules and regulations that govern these children. The one thing that keeps these children in line is the hope of reward. Yes, this is the brass ring. The reward for a clean desk is an extra five minutes of rest! The prize for having all homework done, a shiny – new pencil topper! These small wonders keep small people in line. They make the children love challenge.

Middle school is not so easy. It is not easy for the students, and it also isn’t easy for the teachers. The challenge of staying out of trouble, or writing that research paper – these are the new challenging of an older, wiser group. This group has outgrown the rest and pencil – topper tricks. They know that their efforts have to bring them something really useful, so daybreak and pop are pulled onto the scene. How does five, ten dollars for each “A” sound? Or, how about no telephone if one doesn’t do good in school? Need I say more?

By the time high school arrives a student’s place in educational excellence or else their unlikelihood to even graduate has been founded. Little can be done now to make life’s challenges seem interesting, especially where school comes in. The lazy are rewarded with a nice job at a gas station, and a fifteen – year – old Ford. The diligent are rewarded with an SAT score of over 1100, acceptance into Yale University, and a ticket to life. By meeting the challenges of school, sticking it out, and pulling through, they are given their greatest reward: success. (from Creating Miracles by Yourself, The Most Beautiful English)
