Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.
In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.
A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.
Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!
If you look at the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.
For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.
【小题1】There is ______ special on this wall.

Dear Kitty,
I am sorry that I did not write to you earlier because I have been very    1  . I was helping with a charity show to raise money    2   Project Green Hope. A lot of work needed to be finished, so I did not have much free time.
I felt very happy when I was chosen to be the host. It was exciting,    3   I was also very nervous. I knew that lots of people would watch the show and that many famous pop   4   would come, too. We started working on the show half a year ago so that we could do everything on time. My job was to introduce each star and I also had many other duties. We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to    5  the right camera at the right time.   6  , I thought I would never be able to remember all the words. Slowly, everything became    7  .
The big day came very quickly, and I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the big event, we opened the doors and many people came into the theatre to watch the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a noise, so I had to speak    8  .
Everything seemed to happen so fast. A lot of    9 has been given to Project Green Hope. I hope more events like this will be organized to raise money for charity and I think more people should be   10  to take part in them.
See you soon.
Best wishes!
