Have you ever had a science class that you look forward to? It doesn’t happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs Brown, it’s more than a science class. It’s a science class where ________ is easy and fun. We don’t have to bury ourselves in a huge textbook or listen to a teacher lecture about something we don’t care about.
My experience with Mrs Brown didn’t start with my science class, but with her as my tutor (个别辅导教师). I was always a ________ reader and wasn’t getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored.
One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my ________ tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically dragged me into the library. The first thing that we did was playing a game to get to know each other and get rid of our ________. We didn’t even play a reading game.
We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn’t make me read a boring textbook about something I didn’t care about. I didn’t even pick a book. I selected a ________ about remote control cars. I ________ to myself, how bad could it be? I got to read about remote control cars. She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was ________ reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she ________. I would read a chapter and then she would read a chapter to me. This way I didn’t have to read for long periods of time.
As I got better and ________ at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time as it used to take me to read one chapter.
________ is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it were not for her, I would not be the reader I am today and I thank her for that.
