Learning Is Like a Journey（旅行）

We can remember some important times in our lives. Some things have become good memories. The memories are always in the comer of our mind.

When I was in a kindergarten（幼儿园）, I had many toys and friends. They made me laugh and cry. The teachers taught us many songs and games. We played all day. Although we did not know what learning was at that time, we were learning every day.

When I was a primary school, I was excited to learn school subjects. Nearly every subject caught my attention. However, my favorite subject was science. I remembered on the first day out science teacher told us the sun was like a big fire ball. We were quite surprised and kept our mouths open. We began to wonder at the secret of nature. Later many other things came to our ears. We began to learn carefully.

When I was ten years old, I began to read newspapers, keep a diary, visit museums and make many friends. Every day was something new, interesting and exciting.

Now I am in the middle school. Each day is new to me. Happily, I am still learning. It is like a journey to me. I have learned a lot, but there’s still a long way for me to go. I hope to become a learned（有学问的） person some day.

　　In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline(惩罚 ) students in several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the students' parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves(行为) very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The students can't go to school for one, two or three days, Mr. Lazars, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didn't let the students come to school, they were happy. “A three-day holiday！” They thought.

　　One day, a boy was in Mr. Lazars' office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr. Lazars telephoned the boy's parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won't stop him having classes,” he said. The boy's father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed(难为情). After that he behaved better. And, of course, other students behaved better, too.
