My teachers thought I was the worst student. My family also had the   【小题1】    thought as my teachers.
When I was going to   【小题2】  my studying, a new teacher, Miss White came to our school. She was young, beautiful and knowledgeable.
One day, I was sitting alone in my classroom. Miss White came up to me and talked to me happily. Soon her smile took away my unhappiness.
“Do you think I can go to college?” I didn’t know why I asked such a question. I thought she must say “no”, because everyone else said so. But she said, “Dear, you can do anything you want. Just try and you will   【小题3】  success. I believe you are the best!”
I was moved deeply by the words. I   【小题4】  to study hard. From then on, we became good friends. She often helped me with my study in her free time.
 【小题5】 , I did well in my studies and went to a good college. Miss White is an angel. Her words have kept me going forward. She helped me to see that I am special and can be successful in life.

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved*.

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not enjoy the long train journey and had brought along many magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sat down and started to read magazines.

         It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just a city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond* the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive, I decided to wave back.

         From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

         The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. When my uncle arrived, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

         I looked forward to the return journey.

As a teenager, I am often asked what I am going to be in the future. A lawyer? A doctor? Or a scientist? No, my ideal career is to be a teacher. One of the       for that is I want to be a teacher like Mr. Chen.

“Look! Do you know what it is? A-ha, it’s the      ! And it will always move around the sun.” Mr. Chen said and pointed to his head. He then touched the nose and      , “Can you tell me the name of this mountain? It is the highest mountain on Earth! What’s the       of it? Yes, it’s 8844.43 metres…” I’ll never forget my first geography lesson. He was       humorous that we all fell in love with his lessons      . It’s Mr. Chen who opened the door of geography for us.

Generally speaking, most of the teachers are strict       students and sometimes a little bit demanding（苛求的）, not so with Mr. Chen. He is a lighthouse, showing us the way to the treasure of knowledge. He is a friend and easy to get         with, always encouraging us to speak out loud without        our shyness and other disadvantages. He is an example, volunteering his time to students and other teachers.

One day I happened to meet him in the hospital. Seeing the cut on his arm, I realized he was donating his        . I was moved and was         another lesson, a lesson of love and devotion.

Every time I see my globe（地球仪）, it would        me of Mr. Chen. He is the most unforgettable teacher I have      met and he will always be. Someday I hope I am        to be a teacher like him.

Thank you, Mr Chen, thank you for making learning not a job but a joy.

Thank you for helping me to discover what I do best and to do it even       .

Thank you for understanding all of us and giving us the time and care each of us needs.
