Three years ago, teachers at Denton School knew there was a big problem.The school buildings were very old，the gym(体育馆)wasn't very good and the library was small.There were1modem science labs(实验室).They knew they2a new school!

    The teachers3to ask the students what kind of new school they wanted.They didn't expect the students to be4.but they were surprised.The students wanted to plan and design(设计)5new school! Headmaster Simon Roberts thought this was a fantastic6.A group of students worked with an architect(建筑师)to plan me buildings.They talked about all the different possibilities and looked at different designs.In the end, they chose to have small classrooms7this meant there was space for a big new library, a modem science lab and a great gym.Other groups of8chose things like desks，chairs and books for the library.

    Everyone in the school，both teachers and  students，helped9the planning in some way.It took two years to10the new school and there was a special event to open the school last year.Of course.all the students love their new school!

    It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family didn't know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.

    When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state*. On my knees, I said softly, "Hello, Grandpa."

    Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. When I asked about how he was, he told me, "I'll be fine, Henry." But we both knew that wasn't true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.

    Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage* I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, "Grandpa, I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet. I just want to make sure." By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know became free.

    Smiling, he said," I know. Thank you for telling me that." "All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family: your mother, your father, and your brother. That's all I want of you."

    From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I got in touch with others to show my thanks. I went down into the city once a week and tried to help the homeless. I woke up every morning and listed everything I was thankful to in my life.

  --I haven't decided where      ．
