Its called the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and its been leaning more ever since it was built about 700 years ago. Some say that long ago the great Italian scientist Galileo dropped weights from the tower to learn how fast things fall. Even then , the tower was a leaning tower.

The farther it leans out of line, the faster it tips. You can climb stairs to the top of the tower and see the bells that once called people to a nearby church. But no one rings the bell now. The clang(铿锵声 ) might make the tower fall faster. The government of Italy once offered a prize for the best plan to keep the tower from falling any farther.

The training I received, though excellent, didnt tell me how it was to work with a real student, however, when I began to discover what other people s lives like because they couldnt read, I realized the true importance of reading.The first student Marie was a 44-year old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule（时刻表）, she told me it would not help because she couldnt read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldnt always remember what she needed. Since she didnt know words, she couldnt write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize(认出) items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Maries self- confidence, which encouraged her in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the programme, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bed time stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard in learning to read to paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.1.
