US President Obama gave a TV speech to his country’s students on the  1.  (第一) day of school. He made it from a    2.   (教室) in a high school. He told them to study as   3.  (努力) as they could.

“NO matter(无论) what you want to do with your life, you will need an education, ” he said.

As a teenager, I am often asked what I am going to be in the future. A lawyer? A doctor? Or a scientist? No, my ideal career is to be a teacher. One of the       for that is I want to be a teacher like Mr. Chen.

“Look! Do you know what it is? A-ha, it’s the      ! And it will always move around the sun.” Mr. Chen said and pointed to his head. He then touched the nose and      , “Can you tell me the name of this mountain? It is the highest mountain on Earth! What’s the       of it? Yes, it’s 8844.43 metres…” I’ll never forget my first geography lesson. He was       humorous that we all fell in love with his lessons      . It’s Mr. Chen who opened the door of geography for us.

Generally speaking, most of the teachers are strict       students and sometimes a little bit demanding（苛求的）, not so with Mr. Chen. He is a lighthouse, showing us the way to the treasure of knowledge. He is a friend and easy to get         with, always encouraging us to speak out loud without        our shyness and other disadvantages. He is an example, volunteering his time to students and other teachers.

One day I happened to meet him in the hospital. Seeing the cut on his arm, I realized he was donating his        . I was moved and was         another lesson, a lesson of love and devotion.

Every time I see my globe（地球仪）, it would        me of Mr. Chen. He is the most unforgettable teacher I have      met and he will always be. Someday I hope I am        to be a teacher like him.

Thank you, Mr Chen, thank you for making learning not a job but a joy.

Thank you for helping me to discover what I do best and to do it even       .

Thank you for understanding all of us and giving us the time and care each of us needs.

"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever things weren't going my way. "Don't worry. One day your luck will change."

Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education, I had decided to try for a job in radio. One day, I wanted to host a sports programme. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I got turned down every time.

    In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn't got enough experience. "Get some work with a small station and work your way up," she said.

I went back home. I couldn't get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a store and needed someone to help him. But again, I didn't get the job.

    I felt really down. "Your luck will change," Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Lowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone.

    As I left his office, I asked, "How can someone be a sports announcer(播音员) if he can't get a job in a radio station?"

    I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call. "What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?" He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game, I succeeded.

    On my way home, Mom's words come back to me, "One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, it'll feel doubly good because of all the hard work you've had." At that moment I knew just what she meant.
