She almost c ouldn’t see anything and was, at one time, locked in a dark underground room of a mental institution (精神病院) because of mental problems. Little Annie S ullivan would attack anyone who came near sometimes. However, an elderly n urse believed there was hope and she offered to help the child. Every day she made all her efforts to give little Annie words of love and encouragement.At last, doctors noticed a change in the girl. They ever saw anger and hostility (敌意) in her eyes, while now they noted a little gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to become better. Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she, herself, was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw hope in Hele n Keller. She loved her, played with her until the flickering candle became a bright light to the world. Anne Sullivan brought w onders into Helen’s life. But without that kind and warm-hearted nurse, how could little Annie become suc h a kind-hearted teacher?And so it goes. Just how far back does the chain of love extend?

This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life by living with British families.We came two days before Christmas and during our stay, we have had everything we expected. Christmas turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas puddings, Christmas parties and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing（有趣的）, but above all these, we are deeply touched by the hospitality（好客）of the family, Roger and Anne Marie.Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days, she had been busy cooking meals, washing dishes and showing us around. Roger, who was a doctor, knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings, we all sit around the fireplace with Tim, a lovely dog, by our side. Like long-time-no-see friends, we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know.After three months away from home, we are again feeling how sweet a home can be. Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person-to-person feeling, instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures, one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved.How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here, the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about “when we go back home next year…” and soon we will turn this into “when we go back home THIS year…” for the New Year’s Day iscoming. Miss you.LoveCao Wen51.
