No One’s Words but My Own
The classroom was full of those of us who wanted to work on the school newspaper. I didn’t write a lot, but working on the paper sounded like fun. I liked the idea of being a reporter, interviewing my friends, and covering middle school events.
To be chosen, we had to turn in an example of our ___25___. I wrote an article about the joys of summer, and showed it to my father, a talented poet. He read it and frowned(皱眉).
“It’s okay,” my father said, taking out a pencil. “But how about changing this sentence to …” And as a result, he rewrote the whole piece─without me, for I never said anything to ___26___ him.
No surprise─his version (版本) was wonderful. He had a gift for language. It was so much better than my piece that I turned in his version instead of mine.
“Welcome to the Dundee School News,” my teacher said to me. But before I could be ___27___ about the news, he added, “based on that excellent article you wrote about summer, I expect you to write a personal opinion article every week for the second page of the paper.”
I was so surprised. I was unable to write at that level, but I couldn’t tell the ___28___ to the teacher, and I couldn’t ask my father for help, either.
That term working on the paper was really painful. And my teacher expressed ___29___, “Can’t you write something more like that first piece you wrote ” he said, each time I turned in my article.
I couldn’t, because at that age, I didn’t have my father’s ability and experience as a writer. Week after week, I tried hard, but my writing never ___30___ the level of the first article.
At last, to my total shame, another student took my place. I ___31___ that my father rewrote my first article himself, instead of trying to help me to improve it. But in my heart I knew it was my fault (错误) because I allowed him to do it.
Later, I did become a successful writer on my own. Looking back, I realized that the pain and shame of that school experience had a ___32___ side. It taught me to depend on myself and be myself. So every day, I try to use my own words, find my own style and be my own best self. It feels great.

“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students__38__them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw that well ”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a_____39_____, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student—Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you.” she cried.
I realized at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never_____40_____anything in her whole life.
