Question

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do. Her name is Mrs. White.

I don’t remember much about what we learned in her   36  , but my mother once told me we used to   37   a lot. And I would   38   what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many   39  , but no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a “Good”! That made my heart filled with   40  , but worried my mother. So one day when she met Mrs. White. She asked her why she never   41   my mistakes; why she never red-penciled in the wrong   42   of words or pointed out grammatical errors.

My mother said Mrs. White said “The children are just   43   to get excited about using words, about   44   sentences. I don’t want to dampen that   45   with red ink. Spelling and grammar can   46  . The wonder of words won’t …” And maybe she didn’t   47   it exactly like that because it was a long time ago and   48   my mother told me was just what she could remember.

Thanks to Mrs. White, I   49   up learning to use words with loving   50  . I had no qualms （顾虑）about writing what I meant   51   I couldn’t quite spell it out. A thought comes into my mind that if Mrs. White had used her red pen precisely, I   52   wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look   53   now and think she must have been a rather   54   teacher ——to exercise such red-pen-restraint （不纠错）——to   55   the joy, wonder and excitement of expression.
