Who do you want to thank most? Maybe your parents or other family members. But for some of the most successful people in the world, their answer is the teacher in their childhood. The teachers behind famous people

Can you imagine a life without the personal computer? Well, without two of Bill Gates’ high school teachers, we could live a life like that today. Gates’ maths teacher, Fred Wright, asked him to push himself just a little bit harder. And his drama teacher, Anne Stephens, helped him become the star of the school play. Gates thanked his teachers—without them, there would be no Microsoft. An adult you can trust

For some children, teachers are the only positively influential people in their lives. Antwone Fisher, a best-selling writer, grew up with step-parents, and didn’t have many adults that he could trust. But his primary school teacher, Mrs Profitt, was the first adult he ever trusted. “She spoke to all of us with respect. I think that it was Mrs Profitt’s respect that made all the difference in my life.” A day to say “Thank you”

There are thousands more stories like this, from famous people to ordinary people all across the world. That’s why UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) calls on people to celebrate World Teachers’ Day on October 5 every year. UNESCO wants us to remember that education is a basic human right and every child should have free education. UNESCO also hopes to train 69 million new teachers by 2030 so that everyone can go to school, because, sadly, 264 million children in the world today are not in school because there aren’t enough teachers.

If you have a teacher, you’re one of the lucky ones. One day, you’ll probably look back at your life, your success, the dreams you’ve made come true or the difficulty you’ve gone through. It’s likely that you’ll find a teacher whose words have helped you achieve these things. Perhaps you already know who that teacher is. Why not find him or her and say “thank you” next World Teachers’ Day?

1.Who asked Bill Gates to push himself just a little bit harder?

2.What made all the difference in Antwone Fisher’s life?

3.When is World Teachers’ Day?

4.How many new teachers does UNESCO hope to train by 2030?

5.Why is it lucky for us to have a teacher?

Gregory is my brother. He is eight years old and I am ten. We always look forward to the first big snow of the year. We have a snow day from school.

On a snow day, Mom often makes hot dogs for us and we bake cakes. It is always something special when we have the first snow. Mom likes to make vegetable soup for us to eat. She says it helps to keep us warm when we play in the snow.

Gregory and I go outside early in the morning. We bundle up so we can stay warm. The first thing we do is to make snow angels (天使). Then we slide down the hill on boxes with our neighbours. Finally, we spend the whole afternoon making our first snowman of the year.

The snowman is right out there in our front yard (院子). Mr Bowman is our neighbour across the street. He gives us an old black hat for the snowman to wear. Mom gives us a green scarf to put around the snowman’s neck. We use sticks from the yard to make the arms. And we also use coal for the snowman’s eyes and mouth and a carrot for his nose.

Mom always takes our picture with the snowman. Gregory is fun to play with when it snows. He is a good brother most of the time.
