My name’s Evelyn. This February was a special one for me and my family.

On February 17, 2004, doctors took away my heart and put in a new one. I was only three years old at the time. Before I was born, doctors were able to see that I had a heart defect — my heart couldn’t do its job. I had my first heart surgery (外科手術(shù)) when I was three days old. More surgeries followed, and soon the doctors found they couldn’t fix my heart. They had to get me a new one. So I got another child’s heart. My surgery went well, and now here I am. Even ten years later, I’m doing great.

Well, it’s not always easy. I see doctors regularly (定期地). Medicine is part of my everyday life. I had to have a surgery in 2008, and I may need more surgeries in the future. No one knows what will happen, and I don’t worry about it.

I don’t feel different from other people, mostly. I like violin, painting and ball games, and I’m in middle school. I have amazing friends. A few of them and I have been friends since I was a little child. I enjoy going to a special camp for kids with heart defects. The year I turned 11, I decided to get a swimsuit to wear at the camp. The camp helped me to be OK with showing my scars (傷疤).

I celebrate my birthday and also my Heart Day, every February 17. It’s a chance to be thankful for my new heart and the family that gave it to me. I have never met the family, but I’d want them to know how thankful I am for my life.

Some people believe that intelligence (智力) decides a student’s success. But there is no research to support this opinion, and in fact, it is wrong. Students’ success or failure is finally decided by one simple thing: the ways of they’re learning. Some students are lucky when they find ways that are helpful for them to study. But not all students are so lucky. Some students still learn in ways that are not scientific.

Dr. James J. Asher showed a method called “Total Physical Response (反應(yīng))” as a way to teach languages. Studies at San Jose State University showed that students who moved their bodies while learning English learned more words and grammar in a short time. Those who sat still and didn’t move learned less. After a year, the students who learned by moving their bodies still remembered 80% or more of what they had learned, while the others forgot over 80%.

So you should make sure that you keep moving when you learn English. As you listen to a story or an article, do the action. For example, if you hear the word “go”, move your feet. Imagine you are acting out the story or article that you are listening to. By doing this, you will be able to learn more English, remember it for longer and use it more easily.
