Ted sat next to me when we were in elementary school.　He had serious problems in communicating with people.　One always had to guess what he was saying.　Besides, most of my classmates did not like to be with him because his hands and shirts were always dirty.　I 1 let him know the importance of being clean by telling him several times a day to wash his hands.　But he just could not understand.

One day, our teacher Miss Hsieh walked up to Ted.　Without saying anything, she took Ted to the washroom.　Slowly, Miss Hsieh washed his hands and told him that he should keep himself clean.　She 2 that every day for one month.　Finally, Ted understood.

Miss Hsieh's love has given me a good example to follow when I 3 my job. I always remember to teach my students by showing them the right ways to do things.　And most important of all, I always remember to give them more time to learn and to grow up.
