I’m Alfred. I was born with a problem in my backbone and mobility(行走能力）was a big challenge, but thanks to my teachers and friends, my school life was excellent.
My friends and I used to sit together and have lots of fun. Whenever we got a free period, we used to start shouting or play games. I would take part in all competitions, such as poetry writing, story writing and painting and all activities like Teachers’ Day or anybody’s birthday and had much fun.
My English teacher was very tall. The moment she would enter the class, we would all sit quiet and open the books. She would encourage me by giving me important assignments and also morning news to read during the assembly. She would come down and hear my English debate(辯論), which made me participate in all debate competitions.
The same was true of my biology and science teacher. She was very nice and sweet. She would always give me extra information on the biology project. I could not go to the lab for the practicals (lessons or exams in science, cooking etc. in which you have to do or make something yourself rather than write or read about it), so she would bring the lab down and help me with the biology and science practicals and would give me excellent marks.
My friends made me monitor and the naughty boys listen to me. My friends used to help me with my notes if I was absent. My teachers always gave me important project work and I felt proud when they patted me on the back after I finished it quickly and correctly.
I was never shouted at or made fun of or scolded(批評(píng)) by any of my friends and teachers. Today I saw the terrible punishments given to students on television news. I felt very sad.
I really want to express my love and thanks to all my wonderful teachers and friends, without whom my school life would not have been so excellent and unforgettable. I really pray to God that each child in the world is blessed with caring teachers and wants to attend school every day.

　　Wu Bing was a tall boy. He liked sports very much. He didn't do well in his lessons. He was often asleep in class. He was the naughtiest（淘氣的）boy in his class.

　　He would have a biology（生物）lesson next class. Wu Bing knew that his biology teacher was nearsighted（近視的）. He took off his coat and put it on his desk. Then he took Li Lei's seat. Li Lei wasn't here because he was ill. Wu Bing's seat was at the back of the classroom and Li Lei's was in the middle.

　　When the bell rang, the teacher came in.”Good afternoon, class,”said Mr. Zhang.”We are going to learn a new lesson in this class. But before that, You'd review（復(fù)習(xí)）our lessons. Now, please answer my question. Why are bears often asleep for about six months in winter?”

　　“Li Lei, could you tell me the answer?”asked Mr. Zhang and he looked at Wu Bing. Wu Bing had to stand up and answered,”Because no one dares（敢）to wake them up.”All the students laughed.

　　The teacher shook his head and said,“You are a good student, I think. But please get ready to answer my questions next time. Now, You'd begin the new lesson.”

　　The teacher looked around and found that Wu Bing was asleep. He became very angry.”Don't sleep in class, Wu Bing. If you don't look at me, you won't know what a hippo（河馬）looks like.”All the students laughed again.

　　Wu Bing stood up and said,”I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. I'm not asleep. I'm here. That's my coat”. The teacher and the students laughed loudly.
