It was the beginning of a new term. As a           teacher in that school, I didn’t know any of the students. A little girl was standing at the gate of the classroom. She looked very shy.
I walked up to her and           why she stood there. But she said nothing. Then a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the worst student in her grade.” I looked at the little girl. She didn’t seem to be the smart kind. I           why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and           her into the classroom.
“Sit here. Now you are my student and I’m your teacher,” I said. She still said nothing, but suddenly began to cry.
I later learnt that her parents died in a car accident. She became sad and didn’t like talking to others after that.
She learnt very          . I gave her respect(尊重) and never looked down upon (鄙视) her as I know everybody deserves(值得) respect. I helped her after school, and she was making           little by little. As time went by, she was not as       as before. At the end of the term, she seemed to have forgotten all her sadness. She was not among the best students when she left that school, but         , she was not that shy and sad little girl any more.
In the following           , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I           an invitation to her wedding(婚礼). And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.
Everyone deserves respect and everyone can be happy.
