No One Words But My Own

The classroom was full of those of us who wanted to work on the school newspaper. 1 didn’t write a lot. but working on the paper sounded like fun. I ____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 ____ . I wrote an article

about the joys of summer,and showed it to my father,a talent 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 1 never said anything to _____ him.

No surprise—his version(版本）was _____ . 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 1 could be ____ 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 lo write at that level, but I couldn’t tell the_____ 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 clearly expressed his ____.

“Can’t you write something more like the first piece you wrote?”he said ,each time 1 turned in my article.

I couldn't, because at that age, I didn't have my fathers ability and experience as a writer. Week after week, I tried hard, but my writing never _____ the level of the first article.

At last, to my total shame, another student took my place. I ____ that my father rewrote my first article himself, instead of simply 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 ____ side.
