Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 10 . Today he can not recall anything 11 about the chapter he wrote, or what 12 Mrs. Branch gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs. Brach wrote in margin(空白处)of the paper:“This is 13 writing.”
Four words. They 14 his life.
“ 15 I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or 16 I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 17 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs. Brach to evaluate. She was 18 , tough and honest.“She was just what I 19 ,”Dalkoff said.
