If you have problems with your schoolwork, who can you get help from?

Teachers are important persons for you because they can give you useful advice (建议) on your problems. They can also give you some useful ideas about how to finish schoolwork better. Helping children learn is their job, so be sure to ask them for advice!

Many places have after-school care for children. Homework help is part of it. There, you can get some help from adults and other children as well.

You might also try a local homework help line (热线) . It can help you by phone. In this way, teachers, older students, and other experts (专家) in school subjects can give you some help.

You can also use the Internet to visit online homework help sites (网站). These sites can give you much knowledge. But sometimes you can’t stop copying information from a site. It isn’t right. So knowing how to use information right is necessary.

Another choice is a tutor (指导老师). The tutor can spend time going over schoolwork with you, but you should pay for him or her. If the price is high, you can share a tutor with a small group of children.

When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch(腹部抓痒) and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.

My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Step by step, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human friend. Finally, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was attracted by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. However, as they began to grow, I became their friend.

Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound(收容所). It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged(耸肩)and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.

Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (围栏), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.

My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.
