74、assed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! Youre good at nothing.”David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing.

75、fconfidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But one day it all changed.One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished
76、reading the book. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didnt give it much thought. But the next day to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He neve
77、r expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some selfconfidence.That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised.David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them
78、and correct them for him. Mrs Brown always correct them for him. Mrs Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked selfconfidence. He gained
79、his confidence and was hopeful about his future.He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Browns encoura
