The relationship（关系）between teachers and students is an important part of school life. A new Indian movie called Hichki（《嗝嗝老师》）tells us such a story about it. In the movie, the teacher Naina Mathur helped some bad students.     1    

In the movie, the teacher Naina had a serious illness. The illness made her hiccup（打嗝）often. Naina wanted to find a job as a teacher. But she failed several times because of this.     2    

She soon realized that it was not easy to teach those bad students. They laughed at her and imitated（模仿）her sounds during her first class.     3    

She tried to find the students’ strength（力量）. These students still caused a very serious accident. The school asked them to leave. Naina tried her best to solve the problem. Finally Naina won the students’ hearts.     4

【推荐2】Have you ever paid attention to your school’s security guards or dining hall staff? Would you say “good morning” to your school’s cleaners? For high school student Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students ignore the important jobs done by the non-teaching workers. He wanted to make a change.

The boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, carried out a project—“The Invisible are Important”. They hoped more students would see and respect such staff on campus. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social issues.

“My team members and I sent questionnaires to 158 students,” said Ding. “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would say hello to those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so.”

The team also observed(观察) the interactions between students and workers. “While most students follow the rules of the teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants(宿舍管理员),” said Ding. It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.

The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff. They also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding’s team shot videos to show staff working on campus. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their interactions. “We’ve also made a series of stickers,” said Ding. “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching workers more. The activity helped me understand that we all can make a positive influence through our creative ideas.”

【推荐1】

I lately gave my adult class homework, which was to “go to someone you love and tell them you love them. It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or haven’t shared those words with for a long time”.

That doesn’t sound like a difficult task, but most of the men in that group were over 35 and were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉的)”.

At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. One of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit shaken.

He began by saying, “I didn’t feel that I had anyone to say those words to. But as I began driving home, I knew exactly who I needed to say ‘I love you’ to. Five years ago, my father and I had a quarrel (吵架) and never solved it. We hardly spoke to each other.”

“The next morning, I called my dad. When he answered the phone, I said, ‘Dad, can I come over tonight? I have something to tell you.’ I told him it wouldn’t take long, so he finally agreed.”

“At 5:30, I was at my parents’ house ringing the doorbell. As luck would have it, Dad answered the door.”

“I took one step in the door and said, ‘Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you.’”

“His face softened, his wrinkles (皱纹) disappeared and he began to cry. He reached out and hugged me and said, ‘I love you too, son, but I’ve never been able to say it.’”

“Dad and I hugged for a moment longer. I hadn’t felt that great in a long time.”

“Two days after that visit, my dad had a heart attack and ended up unconscious (昏迷) in the hospital. I don’t know if he’ll make it.”

“My message to all of you is this: Don’t wait to do the things that need to be done. Take the time to do what you need to do and do it now!”

【推荐2】Is there a hero in your heart? What did he do? Today I’ll share a story with you, which happened many years ago.

My family has always been poor, but we are a close family. In December, things got even worse. We went from being poor to being homeless, and finally we lost everything but our two beautiful dogs. However, after one week, all of our money was gone and our dog food was running out.

We called all over the town, trying to find someone to help. However, nobody would give a hand. I was worried that our dogs would die without food. I called one last place in town—a small pet food store. There, a young girl answered the phone. She checked the dog food prices and told me how much they were. I told her about what we were facing. Then, this sweet girl told me that she had some money and that she would buy the dog food for us. She didn’t even ask to be paid back.

Hearing his, my fears went away. I knew that our dogs would have food, all because this young girl paid for it out of her own pocket. She didn’t know me, but she would help my dogs. This young girl will always be an angel(天使) to me, and an angel to my dogs as well.

So try to reach out your hand next time when others need your help, just because someone has done it for you and it really makes something different. Then you will be the hero in your heart.

【推荐3】My grandma came over to look after me when I was young. Laughter always filled the tiny but warm house. Watching Grandma in the kitchen was amazing: she walked around the kitchen, busy but happy. She never seemed to need the recipes (食谱) and everything she made tasted delicious.

At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch. Even though I didn’t understand what she was doing, I really enjoyed watching her and waiting for the cakes. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring (测量) the sugar. The day I helped her bake (烘焙) cakes, I felt like I found complete pleasure.

Later my parents decided that I could take care of myself and my grandma stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes. More often they turned out pretty good. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandma for advice and she would always give lots of useful advice patiently. Sometimes I would call her just to talk. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.

My grandma passed away three years ago, but I still think of her sometimes. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me in her bedroom. It included her recipes for cakes, cookies and my favourite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice and see her smile. She was the one who taught me not only about baking, but about life.
