There’s always hope
I was sitting around the other morning thinking about some of my former(以前的) students. When I do that, my thoughts always turn to Vincent.
Eighteen years ago, on the first day of third grade, when I had my class write something about themselves, he just sat there. So I took him outside to see what was wrong. “You can ___________about something else; anything you want.” I offered .He turned to me and shouted,” I can’t write!” and threw his pencil.
Vincent was difficult and _________ .He acted out. He threw things. He refused to work, to be quiet, to sit down.
So these many years later, I wondered what he was up to. With time on my hands, I googled him and looked him up on Facebook and before long I found him .And after a few texts we agreed to meet. And he told me his _________.
Vincent knew he was smart, but he also knew he couldn’t do what other kids did. He had to move around and talk. For him, sitting still, listening and reading, didn’t __________. The more he tried to do the things on his terms, the more we forced him to do the things on our terms and the angrier he got. The angrier he got, the more trouble he got into.
In other words, we __________ him.
But he wouldn’t let me tell him that. He took full responsibility for his behavior. He remembered feeling _________ for acting out.
That __________ me. Kids like Vincent are always angry about something ;they hold the world responsible for the consequence(后果).
This story also had one of us turning Vincent around. But none of us did that for him. There were no excellent teachers like Annie Sullivan or Jaime Escalante. That didn’t mean we didn’t ___________. I remember countless conversations, trying to understand them, going to his little League games.
It was Vincent who turned Vincent around , along with a junkie (吸毒者) house painter he worked with after failing through high school. This guy clearly scared (惊吓) him straight; talked him into going to ___________.
But it was Vincent who attended classes and got straight A’s for two years .And it was Vincent who got accepted into ten different universities, including Stanford and UW. And it was Vincent who landed a great job at a big tech company.
Vincent is completely different from 18 years ago. I couldn’t be happier for him.
And for me, the ___________is simple but powerful---there’s always hope.

Our trip to the Mining Museum
On Tuesday 4th April, we took a bus to travel to the Mining (矿业) Museum because we had learning about the Gold Rushes.
__1.__. We went past some famous places such as Sydney Harbor and the Open House along the way. We also chatted to our friends about what we had seen on TV last night.
When we arrived at the Mining Museum, we were taken to a room where we stored our bags. Our guide, Alison, then introduced us to a man named Bruce Binkley who is a miner.
Mr. Binkley talked to us about how people used to look for gold. __2.__ . It seemed simple. You get a pan, fill it with dirt and water and then swirl (旋动) it around until the big stones are washed out along with other things. Gold, being heavier, is left at the bottom.
Next, we walked upstairs to look at pictures, information and samples (样品) of gold. We filled in a worksheet about the early discoveries of gold in Australia. ___3.__. That part was really exciting because you had to imagine that you were a miner digging for gold.
