Robert is a thirty-five-year-old American. He becomes a man in science. Once, he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he could be so much more creative than other people. He said that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his when he was about two years old.

That day, when he was trying to a bottle of milk out of the fridge, but he dropped the milk bottle. The milk spilled all over the _ floor, which turned out to be a sea of milk. He was afraid.

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of him, she smiled. She said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have __ seen such a huge puddle of milk before. Well, since it has already been done, would you like to get down and play in the milk for a moment before we clean it up?” Robert did his mother told him.

After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and put to its right place. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop(抹布). Which do you prefer?” He the sponge and together they cleaned up he milk.

His mother then said, “You’d better learn to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands, OK? Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without it.”

The little boy that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(瓶口) with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!

It was at that moment that Robert knew he didn’t need to be _ to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just to learn something new, and that is what scientific experiments are all about. sometimes the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually can learn something meaningful from it. Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would do the same as Robert’s mother does?

As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another one for Grades 4, 5 and 6. The third one was for me.

The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. Though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.

I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

I have worked in Longzhou for a year so far. I’m very happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village school and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.
