As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On the way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, I felt sad 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 Grade 1,2 and 3, and another one for Grade 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.
The children weled 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. To my surprise, 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 now. I’m very happy, and the experience had been very useful for me. I love the small village school and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.

Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to bee a better reader in English. It’s also the most important way.
Some students say they don’t want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and the new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy.
Many experts say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing.
Dr Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in different ways. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.
Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books and you don’t have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you:
