This story happened when I was 11 years old. I’ll never forget it.
I was at my friend Jenny’s after school one day. We were doing homework when a friend of Jenny’s mum’s came over to . I don’t remember her name or even what she looked like. I remember her hands, her voice and the lesson she taught me.
I remember her hand reaching out for mine. What hands she had, I thought; rich, dark skin going well with the orange nail polish (指甲油). Then I heard her saying, “Oh no, that is NOT you shake hands. Let me show you.”
After that, I just remember her voice explaining the importance of a good , having a sense of self, looking the other person in the eye… At that moment I felt respected.
I think of her every time I meet someone . I’m so thankful for her little lesson.
I thank her for the time to teach me something I didn’t know. I thank her for the that she didn’t talk down to me because I was 11 or because I didn’t something. I thank her for instilling (灌输) the idea that if someone doesn’t know something, don’t be afraid to share your knowledge.

“Hi! John.” Mary ran towards me with a bright smile, saying, “I’m going to have a dance performance tonight. I hope you’ll come. Here is the ticket. Don’t forget!” Then she 41 in a hurry.
“What? Dance? Is that 42 ?” I asked myself. Mary was not such kind of girl. She was quite common one. I had never seen her wearing colorful clothes. In fact, she really did not know 43 to dress up. What a terrible thing!
“I should go to, I must go to.” I thought.
I arrived at the hall with the ticket, found my seat and sat down. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would have a 44 time before her turn, for I had no sense of art, 45 her performance was worth(值得)watching, no matter how long I would wait.
Time went 46 , I tried my best not to fall asleep.
Just then, came the words, “Let’s welcome the next exciting dance – Latin!”
Hearing this, I opened my eyes as large as possible, 47 to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shiny skirt, Mary appeared. She danced with a sweet smile, looking like a pretty butterfly flying … I could 48 believe my eyes.
After all the performance ended, I 49 her at the gate.
“Hi!” She stood in front of me with her crystal(水晶) shoes. “How do you feel?”
“Fantastic!” I answered.
“Ha, ha. I knew it would be.” She could not hide her excitement, laughing 50 a child.
At that time, I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.
