I still remember my kindergarten(幼兒園)teacher Mrs. White. She looked just like Snow White, because she had the same bright eyes and short dark hair.

We used to______a lot. And I would show what I wrote to Mrs. White for correction. She would look at my writing and see many mistakes in it. But she never made any red correction and she always gave a star. I was feeling_____ of my writing each time I got a star. But it______my mother. So one day when she met Mrs. White at a parent-teacher meeting. Mum asked her why she never corrected my_____and why she never said no to her child.

Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words. Spelling and grammar can wait. We can’t stop that_______ with a red pen.” As it was a long time ago, my mother could only remember the main idea of what Mrs. White said about my writing. However, I grew up learning to use words with loving care and ____ like that.

If Mrs. White had used her red pen more often, I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. Whenever I ____ on those encouraging stars from Mrs. White, I feel they just look like real ones in the night sky-bright, shiny, and guiding me on my way somewhere. I do believe she was such a wonderful teacher, who tried to_______ a red pen less to keep the joy, wonder and excitement in a child’s mind.

Thanks to Mrs. White, I have no fear about writing. Also, I’m not afraid of any mistake in my life!
