    My best friends are John and Ann. We do many things together(--起).

    John lives near my house. He's fifteen years old and he's tall and slim，with blonde hair and blue eyes. He's a little bit shy but very clever. He's very good at math and he helps me with my homework.  He usually wears a T-shirt and jeans. We also play basketball at a nearby park together and sometimes we play video games at my house.

    The other friend is Ann. She's short and strong, with straight brown hair and brown eyes. She likes wearing T-shirts and a baseball cap. She never stops talking. She says she would like to be a boy. We all have kung fu lessons every Tuesday and Friday afternoon. We love it. Ann is really good at kung fu. We call her the "Kung Fu Kid". She often plays basketball with us, too. We often have great fun together.

    Bill was a boy of 15. His parents didn't care about him. Bill often slept in class and always failed in his exams. Neither his teachers nor his classmates liked him.

    One day, Miss Jones, a new teacher, came to Bill's class. She began her lesson. She asked a question. "I'd like the smartest boy to answer my question. ''Then she said loudly, "Bill, please!”

    Bill was surprised. And he stood up without a word.

    "Just try it! I believe you can!" She encouraged(鼓励)Bill.

    After school, Miss Jones had a long talk with Bill. She told him that she cared about him and believed in him.

    Bill thought a lot that evening. From then on, he worked hard and Miss Jones helped him with his homework in the afternoon. She even cooked for him.

    Later, Bill had another exam. He was very excited to pass the exam. A change took place in Bill's heart.
