Andria, a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom revolution (变革). “We are going to make a change,” she said. “I’ve started a project to improve the teaching of the arts in our schools.”
The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort—whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star—into schools to work with and inspire children.
Andria has worked on the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. “I’ve seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by their eyes are shining and their faces light up,” she said. “We need artists more than ever in our schools.”
Artist Michael said: “Andria’s brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded (低估) in schools.” “It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary,” he added.
Historian Sir Simon is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not just an add-on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young.”

2 . Long long ago, there was a beautiful girl. She was alone because she had no family or home. She only had her clothes and some bread. But she was very kind.
A man asked her for something to eat. She gave him her bread. A child cried and told her that his head was cold. So she gave her hat. Then she met a child with no coat. She gave him her coat.
One day, in the cold dark forest, she met another child. He asked for her dress. The little girl thought that it was dark and nobody could see her, so she gave her dress away. At last, she had almost nothing: no family, nowhere to live, nothing to eat and little to wear. Suddenly, stars fell from the sky. These stars became beautiful pieces of money. With the money, she bought a new dress and a coat.
The little girl was rich for the rest of her life and she still helped the people with her money.

5 . Tony loves his grandma. She often tells him stories about Santa Claus.
Today is December 24. Tony’s grandma takes him to a store. She gives Tony fifty dollars and says, “Take the money and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Tony thinks of everyone he knows: his family, friends and classmates. Then he thinks of Bobbie. Bobbie sits behind Tony. He doesn’t have a warm coat. Tony knows it because Bobbie never goes out to play in winter. So Tony buys a blue coat for him. It looks really warm.
In the evening, his grandma helps Tony put the coat in a Christmas box, and writes “To Bobbie, From Santa Claus” on it. “Santa always helps people but never lets them know,” Tony’s grandma says. They put the box in front of Bobbie’s house and then go back home.

7 . It was a hot summer day and I had just pulled into the gas station to fill up my car. After filling it up, I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw: five yellow jackets (小黄蜂) building a nest around their gas cap. I suddenly felt scared (惊恐的). I shared the ladies’ fear.
Yellow jackets have never been friends of mine. Several times these wasps (黄蜂) have attacked (攻击) me while I was cutting the grass, stinging (蛰) me each time I ran over their nests. The worst time, however, was when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their nests again because before I knew it, both of us were being chased and stung by the yellow jackets while we ran away screaming. I ran to my mum with tears in my eyes. She ran a cold bath (浴盆) and put us both in it to ease (减轻) the pain before giving us medicine to help us feel better.
Still, I knew I couldn’t let fear stop me now. I reached into my pocket for a paper towel I had there, took the nest down and stepped on it while the wasps buzzed around me. Both of the ladies thanked me for what I did.
You can’t let the fear of being stung keep you from doing what is right. We need to love each other and change the world for the better. And the only way you can do this is through helpful acts and kindness. Don’t let the yellow jackets in your life hold you back.
