On a Monday afternoon, my classmate Tomas almost ran into the class and quickly began playing the piano. “Miss Helen,” he said, “I have dreamed of this music running through my head all day!”
Tomas spent much time playing the piano and was often absent from English class. So he was bad at English. One day, he was asked to meet his teacher in the office. “Your English grades were so low. You couldn't miss the class anymore,” his English teacher said. So, Tomas practiced harder in his free time. Besides practicing playing, he also studied how to write music, and he wrote many beautiful pieces for the piano. Luckily, writing music had improved his English spelling and writing abilities. By the early that year, Tomas told me that his grades went up. I almost shouted in excitement when he brought me an article about what music meant to him. He wrote and rewrote his story many times before giving it to me. From the article, I could see his hard work. I really took pride in him.
Tomas's hard work in both piano class and English class was spoken highly by the headmaster. Two years later, Tomas was accepted by one of the best high schools. He said, “I will create a lot of beautiful music and play them, so that everyone can feel the warmth and happiness of music!”
