Mark Smith and Jarryd Haines are good friends.The two boys from Sydney have known each other for most of their lives.Both of them enjoy playing Australian football.
A few years ago,when Mark was nine,he developed brain cancer.The disease robbed the boy of his sight,part of his hearing and his ability to play his favorite sport.However,throughout the years,Jarryd remained his closest friend.They still share their love of Australian football.And they still enjoy talking about the Sydney Swans,their favorite team.
Two weeks ago,I took my seat at Sydney Cricket Ground to watch the Swans.The old stadium was crowded with fans.Shortly into the second quarter,heard some great commentary from a boy.Play by play,Jarryd was bringing the game to life.I turned and saw him.Mark was sitting next to him.
Although he cannot see anymore,Mark still loves the Swans very much.Usually,he goes to the stadium and listens to the commentary on the radio.However,in the second quarter of that match,the radio system broke down.That was when his friend Jarryd stepped in.
I hardly looked at the Swans and Buddy,the team's star player.Instead,I was focusing on Jarryd and Mark. "What's happening now,mate?" Mark asked. "Don't worry.Mark," Jarryd replied. "Okay.Buddy's got it.Will he go for it?He's going for it!It's his tenth goal!Buddy is on fire!" Mark listened carefully.He was lost in the magic of Australian football brought to life by his friend.
Sports can be competitive.However,they can also allow us to share wonderful moments with others,may they be close friends or perfect strangers.Here,Jarryd and Mark have moved me,and perhaps some other spectators,with the best commentary.

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
