Question

 I'm Alfred. I was born with a problem in my backbone and mobility (行走能力) was a big challenge (挑战) for me,but thanks to my teachers and friends,my school life was excellent.

  My friends and I used to sit together and have lots of fun. Whenever we got a free period,we used to start shouting or play games. I took part in all competitions,such as poetry writing,story writing,painting and all activities on Teachers' Day or somebody's birthday and had much fun.

  My English teacher was very tall. The moment she entered the class,we would all sit quietly and open the books. She would encourage me by giving me important assignments and also morning news to read during the assembly. She would come down and listen to my English debate (辩论) ，which made me participate (参加) in all debate competitions.

  The same was true of my biology and science teacher. She was very nice and sweet. She would always give me extra information on the biology project. I could not go to the lab for practicals ( lessons or exams in science,cooking,etc. in which you have to do or make something yourself rather than write or read about it) ，so she would bring down the lab and help me with the biology and science practicals and would give me excellent marks.

  My friends made me monitor and the naughty boys listened to me. My friends used to help me with my notes when I was absent (缺席的) .My teachers always gave me important project work and I felt proud when they patted me on the back after I finished it quickly and correctly. I was never shouted at or made fun of or scolded (批评) by any of my friends or teachers.

  Today I often see the terrible punishments given to students on TVs. I feel very sad.

  I really want to express my love and thanks to all my wonderful teachers and friends,without whom my school life would not have been so excellent and unforgettable. I really pray to God that each child in the world is blessed with caring teachers and friends.
