Feet on the Ground
The university application essay workshop was announced with a warning: 'No big words. No empty promises. Just the truth, told well.' Each student was to write about an experience that had shaped them. Han Mei immediately knew her topic: the volunteer teaching trip to the mountain school. 'But what do I say?' she asked Cozy teacher. 'It was only three days.'
大学申请文书工作坊带着一条警告开始：“不要大词，不要空头承诺，只要把真相讲好。”每个学生要写一段塑造了自己的经历。Han Mei 立刻知道写什么：山村小学的支教之旅。“但我该说什么呢？”她问 Cozy 老师，“只有三天。”
Cozy teacher read Han Mei's first draft, then put it down gently. 'This essay says you helped children,' she said. 'It does not say what the children did to you. An essay is not a report of your kindness. It is a mirror of your change. What changed in you, Han Mei?' Han Mei thought for a long time. 'I used to think I was too young to matter,' she said slowly. 'The children did not care how old I was. They just wanted someone to teach them.'
Cozy 老师读完 Han Mei 的初稿，轻轻放下。“这篇文书说你帮助了孩子，”她说，“但它没有说孩子们对你做了什么。文书不是善行报告，而是变化的镜子。Han Mei，你内心发生了什么变化？”Han Mei 想了很久：“我以前觉得自己太年轻，微不足道。孩子们不在乎我多大，他们只想要有人教他们。”
She rewrote the essay, starting with the smallest moment: the girl with the rocket drawing. 'She drew a rocket and a smiling sun,' Han Mei wrote. 'When I asked where she wanted to go, she said: to see the stars. Then she asked me if I had ever seen real stars. I had. But I had never looked at them the way she did — as a destination, not a decoration.'
她重写了文书，从最小的瞬间开始：画火箭的女孩。“她画了火箭和微笑的太阳，”Han Mei 写道，“我问她想去哪里，她说：去看星星。然后她问我有没有见过真正的星星。我见过。但我从未像她那样看它们——把它们当作目的地，而不是装饰品。”
Jack's essay was about his football trick and the children who laughed. Lily wrote about teaching drawing to a boy who had never held a crayon. Li Lei wrote about the little school's library and the book that had fallen apart in his hands. 'The pages were soft from being read so many times,' he wrote. 'It was the most beautiful book I have ever held, because it was the most loved.'
Jack 的文书写他的足球花招和笑作一团的孩子；Lily 写教一个从未握过蜡笔的男孩画画；李雷写那所小学的图书馆，以及一本在他手里散架的书。“书页因为被读了太多次而变得柔软，”他写道，“那是我捧过最美的书，因为它被爱得最深。”
When the essays were shared, the classroom was quiet in a new way. 'Now these are essays,' Cozy teacher said. 'They do not boast. They do not beg. They simply say: here is what I saw, and here is who I became because of it. That is what universities want — not perfect students, but students who are becoming. Feet on the ground, and the ground is the truth.'
分享文书时，教室安静得与以往不同。“现在这些才是文书，”Cozy 老师说，“它们不夸耀，不乞求，只是简单地说：这是我看到的，这是我因此成为的人。这就是大学想要的——不是完美的学生，而是正在成长的学生。脚踏实地，而大地就是真相。”
A month later, Han Mei received a reply from the university she had applied to. The admission officer had written a note at the bottom of her essay: 'We hope you keep looking at the stars. And we hope you keep coming back to teach.' Han Mei folded the letter carefully and put it in the box where she kept the rocket drawing. Two pieces of paper, one promise: to keep looking up, and to keep giving back.
一个月后，Han Mei 收到了申请大学的回复。招生官在她的文书末尾写了一句附注：“我们希望你们继续仰望星空，也希望你们继续回来教书。”Han Mei 小心地折好信，放进她珍藏火箭画的那个盒子里。两张纸，一个承诺：继续仰望，继续回馈。

3语法小课堂：全语法综合（时态语态专题）
时态语态综合
时间标志词 → 时态；主语是承受者 → 被动
The donation has been delivered to the school. （捐款已被送到学校。）
We had been preparing for months before the trip. （出发前我们已准备了好几个月。）
The children were being taught when we arrived. （我们到达时，孩子们正在上课。）
⚠️ 完成进行时 have been doing 表持续；进行被动 be being done 表“正在被”。
时态易错点
since/for → 完成时；by + 过去时间 → 过去完成；this time tomorrow → 将来进行
She has volunteered since she was fourteen. （她从十四岁起就做志愿者。）
By 5 p.m., the work had been finished. （到下午五点，工作已完成。）
This time tomorrow, we will be travelling to the village. （明天这个时候，我们将在去村庄的路上。）
⚠️ 看到 since/for/by/this time 等标志词，先定时态再定语态。
👨🏫Cozy 老师说：高中语法重在「在语境中理解」——多读课文里的例句，语法自然就活了。
