As a student, I get so many assignments every day. I have to stay up late in order to finish all my
homework. I used to complain about all this pressure (25)
school with my classmates. We did not
appreciate our teachers for their hard work. We only (26)
(know) that we got a lot of homework.
After a few months, we did not complain about homework anymore (27)
we knew that our
teachers worked (28)
(hard) than we did. We had no right to complain. Sometimes, we said,
“I
didn
?/p>
t go to bed until 12:00 o
?/p>
clock last night. Now I just want to sleep.
?/p>
Our teacher would answer us,
“I
go to bed at 1:00 a.m. every day.
?/p>
Since we knew how hard teachers work, we started to appreciate
them. To give our thanks, we wrote a big card to the teachers (29)
it was teachers
?/p>
day. When they
got our card, they (30)
(touch) because their students finally knew the teachers
?/p>
effort.
After giving the card, I realized (31)
powerful the sentence
?/p>
thank you
?/p>
is. When we give
our thanks to somebody, the world is full of love. I say
?/p>
thank you
?/p>
to my friends, family, classmates,
teachers,
and
even
strangers.
I
like
to
see
the
smiles
on
their
faces,
so
(32)
(say)
?/p>
thank
you
?/p>
every day is the way I make the world a better place.
