Do you remember the name of your kindergarten(幼儿园) teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs White.
I don’t remember much about     we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we    write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she could see there were so many mistakes.    no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! It worried my mother, so one day she went to    Mrs White and asked her why she     corrected my mistakes.
And my mother says Mrs White said “The children are just     to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to lose the interests with red ink(墨水).     and grammar can wait. The wonder of     won’t... ”.Maybe she didn’t say it exactly like that at that moment. And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember.
I     now and think Mrs White must have been a rather    teacher. She encouraged joy, wonder and excitement — even if our expression of it was     . Because she believed a bud(花蕾)once nipped(掐断) never opens.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. Never could quite remember that the e went    the a. It annoyed my teacher in high school very much. If I was going to use the word so often, she considered the    I could do was spell it right. Finally the e’s and a’s were in their right places. Am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is    to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And    Mrs White I had no worries about writing what I meant. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s Baeutiful.

     When Webster was young, he was a teacher. But he quickly became tired of the books he used in
classes. They were all about the English people and places. Since he wanted books that would be
interesting to American children, he wrote three books with many American examples.
      Webster worked industriously (勤奋地) to change the spelling of American English. He wanted
words to be spelled in the same way they were pronounced (发音). For example, he thought the word
"laugh" should be spelled "1af".
     One day he walked into a print shop and gave the boy there a piece of paper. "Young man," he said,
"when you print any please don't spell as English people do. For example when you print these words
"theatre, centre, colour, and labour (劳动)", please always print them as "theater, center, color,
and labor'." The boy studied it and answered, "OK, but I must ask my boss first."
      With the money he made from his books, Webster could start his work, which took him more
than twenty years to finish. In 1828, the first American English dictionary was born. And today,
Webster's dictionary is thought to be the most important American dictionary in the whole world.
