Ted sat next to me when we were in elementary school.　He had serious problems in communicating with people.　One always had to guess what he was saying.　Besides, most of my classmates did not like to be with him because his hands and shirts were always dirty.　I 16 let him know the importance of being clean by telling him several times a day to wash his hands.　But he just could not understand.

One day, our teacher Miss Hsieh walked up to Ted.　Without saying anything, she took Ted to the washroom.　Slowly, Miss Hsieh washed his hands and told him that he should keep himself clean.　She 17 that every day for one month.　Finally, Ted understood.

Miss Hsieh's love has given me a good example to follow when I 18 my job. I always remember to teach my students by showing them the right ways to do things.　And most important of all, I always remember to give them more time to learn and to grow up.

Weight-training has become very popular all over the world in the past few years.　Many years ago, weight-training classes were usually for men only, but today 19.　Weight-training is now a fashionable sport for people who are interested in becoming stronger and healthier.　Books and videos about weight-training 20.　Any sports fan can get copies of them easily.

Before you start a weight-training class, you should remember two important things: first, you have to wear the right size clothes.　It's impossible for you to enjoy weight-training if your clothes are too big or too small. 21, never show off, even to yourself.　Start with a weight that is not too heavy for you.　Showing off is the easiest way to get hurt.　Remember, you want to be stronger and healthier.　You don't want to 22 after your weight-training class.

Reading is an activity people enjoy a lot in their free time.　Some like reading newspapers, and others enjoy novels or comic books.　I like reading about the lives of great people.　This always gives me a lot of ideas on how to make my own life better.

Great people are remembered not because they were handsome or beautiful, but because they did not give up when their lives were difficult.　They used every opportunity to change their lives and make the world better.

One good example is Orville and Wilbur Wright, the two brothers who invented the airplane.　The plane has made the world into a small village.　Hard work, not good luck, is the reason why the Wright Brothers could invent this convenient machine and become remarkable people.　Today we still remember them when we see planes in the sky.

When I feel sad, stories of great people always help me feel better.　This is why I enjoy reading about great people's lives.

Karen Finley was born in the U.S. in 1956.　When she was only fourteen, she became interested in performing.　She graduated from a performing arts school in 1981 and then began to perform in theaters.　In her performances, she showed people some of the problems in the world.

Karen's The Constant State of Desire was first performed at The Kitchen in New York City in 1986.　In this performance she wanted people to notice some of the difficult experiences women have because of men.　It soon became controversial.　Many people did not feel comfortable with the performance.　They thought that Karen hated men too much and was out of control.　She was strongly criticized by the newspapers.　But some other people thought differently and spoke for her.　They said that they felt the experiences Karen showed in this performance were true to life.

Karen hoped that people would think about the sad stories that happen every day.　She believed people would understand her and learn some lessons if they could "read" her performances more carefully.
