我生活的一个新开始(A New Beginning of My Life)

　　i'll never forget the day when our teacher told us to use pens instead of pencils. that was a new beginning of my life.

　　it was in the primary school in grade twoit was when i was in grade two of a primary school that the teacher came in and said to us one morning：“now boys and girls， you have been writing with pencils for about two years， and from now on， each of you should put a pen in your pencil-box. you'll never use pencils to do your homework.”

　　“but why should we?”i asked.

　　“well，”the teacher replied.“when you use pencils， you can get a rubber to erase your mistakes you madehave made， and then correct them. but it is not everything in life that can be regretted and done again. you should be more responsible for what you do and consider it well before working. today is a new beginning to you in your lives.”

　　then the teacher taught us how to use pens correctly， and showed us some pen-written copybooks of our elder school brothers' and sisters. it was clear that the more they wrote， the fewer mistakes they made.

　　now i have been writing with pens for over nine years. i'm sure that i've become a responsiblea more responsibleman.
