六、完形填空。
I studied in China for four years and for another two years in Canada. There were two teachers from these countries that really _1_ me even though they were very different.
When I first moved to Canada, I couldn't even _2_ food in English. After two months' ESL (English as a Second Language) courses, I got my first report card. My mark in English was 65. I was very _3_. I couldn't imagine what would be said at the parent-teacher meeting.
"Hello! " Mrs. Franceschini welcomed my parents. "Richard just came to Canada a few months ago. I am amazed at how his English has _4_ so fast," she said. "On his first day, he was very shy and only used _5_ words. Now he can answer and ask questions by using whole sentences."
Like many other Chinese parents, my mom asked if she could give me _6_ homework. "Don't worry. Richard is already working very hard," Mrs. Franceschini laughed. Then she shook my hand. "Richard, you did a good job. I am _7_ of you! " she said.
Back in Shanghai, my teacher Miss Li was very _8_. In a test, my average mark was 97. I was proud to take my parents to the _9_.
Miss Li told my parents, "Feng Yu is doing pretty well. But because of his _10_, he lost 3 points in math. _11_ he would be the top of the school."
When I was _12_ to leave, Miss Li gave me a card. Her phone number and e-mail address were on the card. "Feng Yu, you are my best student. I _13_ you a successful life," she wrote. "If you want to talk or need any help, I am always here for you."
Miss Li and Mrs. Franceschini are both great teachers, just in different ways. One _14_ my learning abilities. _15_ gave me tons of confidence and made learning enjoyable. I'm proud to have had them as my teachers.
