| Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher?I do.Her name was Mrs White. I don't remember much about what we learned in her class,but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot.And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and find there were so many mistakes,but no red corrections,and always a star.Sometimes even a Good!This worried my mother,so one day when she went to meet Mrs White for one of those ParentTeacher meetings,she asked her why she never redpenciled my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors. "The children are just beginning to get excited about usi  ng words,or forming sentences.I don't want to damage that enthusiasm with red ink.Spelling and grammar can wait.The wonder of words won't." Mrs White said. Later I knew that if Mrs White had used her red pen often I probably wouldn't be telling you about this now.I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher to exercise such redpenrestraint (限制)．I used to misspell "beautiful" a lot,and never could quite remember that the "e" went before the "a"．It annoyed my teacher in high school. If I was going to employ the word with such lavishness (华丽丰富的语言) she figured the least I could do was spell it right.Eventually the e's and a's settled into their right hold as much as you mean sometimes. And thanks to Mrs White,I had no worry about writing what I meant even if I couldn't quite spell it out.Because life isn't "Pretty"．It's "Baeutiful"． |
