Last Saturday,David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old.When David passed them,he heard the woman yell.“ How stupid you are ! You're good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy.The boy said nothing.He just stood there,looking upset.
David was reminded of his Engl li sh teacher r Mrs Brown in middle school.After he entered a middle school,David lacked self | confidence because he was often made fun of by others.He was often told that he was good at nothing,which David believed. But one day it all changed.
One day,in an English writing class,Mrs
Brown asked them to read a novel.They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it.A few days later,David handed in his story.He didn't give it much thought.But the next day,to his surprise,the comment “ well done ” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.When David read that,he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day.He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home,he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning.And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them and correct them for him.Mrs Brown
always corrected the mistakes he had made and
gave him good advice to improve writing skills..
One year later, David joined the school
newspaper and became an editor of it.He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence.
He gained his confidence,and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing.Several years after graduating from college,he had his first book published.With some more books coming out,he became famous as a writer in his country.And he owed his success to Mrs Brown's encouragement.
Without her encouragement,his life might be very different now.
Paragraph 1:
Inspired by his own life story,David
decided to do something for that boy.He went to the woman，who immediately recognised him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs Brown. In the end，he said，"I couldn't have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing."
Paragraph 2:
The mother was ashamed when she heard
that.She realised that she shouldn't have called her son stupid，which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said，"Thank you for your advice. I'll never say such things to him again. Instead，I'll find out what he's good at and encourage him." The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy，David felt relieved，hoping his action could make a difference to the boy.
