能给出一些修改的意见吗?

深海lavenderUID: 2350207

不知道我说的有道理没,自己给TT批评过N次,现在还怕怕......
看最后两句,LZ写的这是WHY ESSAY?如果这样的话MS只有后面那么一点扯到了WHY上,前面关系MS不是很紧密.看到最后才知道你要写的是WHY......

Last summer, I was so happy because I got the top score on my final exam and become the No. 1 student of the whole school. Like the others, I’m considering what to do during that long summer vacation.

I can still clearly remember, on that pleasant sunny day, while I was hanging out with my friends, my father called me. “Do you want to do some volunteering? “ He said. Actually, at that time, I did not what “volunteer” really is. But I think that might be interesting and something I haven’t experienced yet. So I said, “Okay!”

On the way to Hong Yuan, dad told me something more about it. He works near Hong Yuan and he heard that Hong Yuan middle school is lack of teachers, so the Education Ministry of Hong Yuan wanted a volunteer teacher to come and help the children. Dad knows that I am good at English, history, teaching and like playing with children, so he got this opportunity for me.

For the real society, I don’t know much of it; I don’t know what the hunger, poor, pollution, war really is. I just get information from the Medias. So my disadvantage is I don’t have enough experience while my advantage is that I have passion, I have a sense of responsibility for the society. For that reason I consider the coming volunteer work is not a hard work but an opportunity to get closer to the real society.

But I am very clear that this is my decision to come.

This requirement really shocked me, because I didn’t see this situation before in my school, but I soon permitted him with a smile.

Admittedly, it is still the biggest feature of Chinese education that teachers talk a lot during class and students take notes a lot during class. The more silent class is the better class. Whatever you think it is right or not, you can’t refuse to acknowledge the fact that students do not have their own freedom to search the knowledge themselves. I realized this way ever since I went to visit Arizona State University this winter, several months after my volunteering at Hong Yuan middle school. The American college students are just like the students I met in Hong Yuan, they are a lot more positive than our outstanding Chinese student selected from China Youth Space Academy (CYSA).

During my visit in the States, I feel that teachers in ASU play a role as a leader; they lead students to think and give them freedom to search knowledge they want. Although I admitted that being quiet is certainly important, but the freedom is the condition to encourage students to study hard and well. It was then that my dream to attend ASU began, and for that one instant, I belonged to ASU, ASU belonged to me.

I am not a real teacher; I cannot give them so much knowledge compared with professional teachers. However, I can be the one who open up the window of their hearts and let a ray of sunshine come in, to warm a little mass of solid and produce the growth of the flower of the dream. What a beautiful name of “opener of the heart window”, isn’t it?

我在修改的时候发现自己好象文章的中心不是很突出, 说清楚一点是可以写两个重点
一个是自己volunteer为主的介绍,另一个是通过volunteer的经历来反思城市里面的学校课堂死板的缺陷,从而羡慕ASU的课堂氛围..
