Question

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
I was brought up in the countryside by my grandmother. She was a very courageous and inspiring woman and was very beautiful, too. In comparison with her or some of my classmates, I always felt that I was not beautiful or pretty. In fact, when I was studying in middle school, I thought I was not as good as other students and just because of these negative feelings, I was not very confident. One day, I went to the shoe shop to buy a pair of new shoes. When I got there, I noticed a foreign lady talking to a salesgirl. But the salesgirl didn’t understand what the foreigner was saying. They both looked worried. I went up to help them. The lady is an Australian. She wanted to buy a pair of travelling shoes. So I told it to the salesgirl. The lady was very glad when she took them. She spoke high praise for my spoken English and said that I was a pretty girl. Both of them expressed their thanks to me.
As a matter of fact, no one had ever praised me like that before. It was so encouraging. Suddenly I felt confident and happy. It is true that those words turned my life around.

Answer 1

Praise can change a person
The writer was praised for his fluent spoken English when she helped an Austrian and the salesgirl as a translator in the shoe shop. This praise not only made her happy but also changed her attitude towards herself.
Praise is really magical. Perhaps many of us had such experience. Take myself as an example. I was very naughty in the primary school. Most of the teachers and even my parents felt headache of me. But it happened that I once got a very high mark in an examination and the head teacher told my parents about this. My parents praised me highly for this for quiet a long time and told neighbors about that. I felt really happy and greatly encouraged. Every time when I heard others talk to me about my excellent examination result, I thought to myself that I would work even harder and made greater progress.
Praise is very important and inspiring. Just as Shakespeare said, “our praise is our wages."
