There are many kinds of friends. Some are always   36  you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only   37   friends leave footprints (腳印).
I shall always recall (回憶) the autumn and the girl with the   38  . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.
It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves   39  on the cool   40  . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves,   41  to the sound of them.
Autumn is a   42  season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me   43  . But one day, the sound of a violin   44  into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was   45  in playing her violin.
I had   46  seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been   47  there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.
Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building   48  I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became   49  .    50  we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly   51  . To my astonishment (驚訝), the girl came over to me.
“You must like violin.” she said.
“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
Suddenly, a   52  expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that   53  me.” she said.
“In fact, it was your playing   54  gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”
The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a        55  —so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

As a music teacher，I have always known that music touches the soul. It can 36 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way.It can be the  37 for each child to find their light.I would like to 38 a story about it.
For a few years I was  39 with the opportunity to teach disabled students.One of my most 40  students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa，who had difficulty walking，and could not speak.We  41 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to  42  on my lap．One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit.It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students  43  twice while singing the repeating phrase，“Oh，yes！” Vanessa liked to  44 her hands together with mine and clap with me.We probably performed that song during every class，Vanessa and I clapping together.But she  45  said or sang a word.
One day，when the song was finished，Vanessa turned around， 46 me in the eyes，clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words“Oh，yes！” I opened my mouth in  47  and for that moment I was the one who could not speak.When my heart  48  started beating again，I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also  49 .Through music，we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later，I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big 50  on her face and then clapped her hands twice，imitating the song we had 51  so many times in our music class.The little girl， 52  her connection with music，left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 53  to learn and grow. It is up to us to  54  the way to reach each and every one of our students.We all must find each child's  55 .
