As a teacher，I think it is right to tell my students to write about their true feelings and real experiences．I always taught my students how to learn by experience．And I also found that it helped me a lot to get on well with the students．

    One day after explaining a tex，I asked my students to write a passage about their families．I encouraged them to write about their real experiences with their closest family members．All the students wrote quite well but the best one of them was written by a little girl．She was Hao Fang．I was deeply moved by her story．In her passage，she said her father had died years before and her mother had to work hard to support the family．Many times she had seen her mother work deep into night but never seen tears on her face．She also wrote that she needed to stay strong and she would do the best to give her mother an easier life in the future．Like her mother, Hao Fang also worked hard at her lessons and she was really good at any of them．I don’t know anything about her unlucky family till then．She always appeared happy and never showed that she needed anyone’s help．

    In order to make her an example to the class．I read this passage to the class．When I finished reading it，I found my throat choked and my students’ eyes full of tears．After class nearly all my other students crowded around Hao Fang and gave their money to help this girl．We knew her family needed money very much．Many students decided to offer her more help．To tell the truth，I was really proud of my students．

    But to my surprise，this student of mine didn’t express her thanks to her classmates and left school without even telling me the next day．I was puzzled about this．

Mo Yan, a well-known Chinese writer, won the Nobel Prize for literature(文学) in 2012. He was also the first Chinese writer who got this prize in history. When he was interviewed, he said he was only a normal person who could tell stories. He especially thanked his mother. He thought his mother had a strong influence on him.

Mo Yan was born in a poor family in China’s rural area. When he was young, he was a little bit shy because he thought he wasn’t good-looking. His classmates often played jokes on his look. That made him very upset. His mother encouraged him to face the fact bravely. She told him not to look down on himself. She said it didn’t matter if a person didn’t have a good look and it was important to work hard and never give up. She hoped that his son would be a useful person in society.

Mo Yan didn’t let her mother down. He worked hard at writing. He wrote many famous novels, such as Hong Gao Liang(《红高粱》)and Wa(《娃》). His success tells us a truth,“Nobody can beat you unless you beat yourself.”Hold on to your dream and your dream will come true in the end.
