Before， I thought that a man who was wise and good would become rich， but now I know this is not always true． I learned it from my teacher． He is both wise and good， but he is not rich at all． He may become rich if he gives up(放弃) teaching and goes into business． But he likes his job and thinks it，s wonderful to help young people． He stays at school from morning till night and works very hard． He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help． He is kinder to us than any other teacher in our school． I think it must be easier to learn history or math than to learn how to become a man like him． He scolds(责备 ) us when we do something wrong，but it makes us try to do better．We all wish to study with him as long as possible． But that may be impossible． Some of us may become doctors， some become businessmen， some be- come engineers， some become writers， but we all want one thing very much． It is that we all want to be teachers in the future．

Dear Vicky,

I live in Aberdeen, in the north of Scotland. My family live in Cornwall, at the other end of the country. My parents are getting old now, and I really want to go and see them this Christmas. The problem is my boss. He only gives us 2 days' holiday at Christmas. It's 500 miles to go from Aberdeen to Cornwall and then 500 miles back again, and I'll be exhausted(筋疲力尽)when I get back. I want to ask for more time off, but I don't get on very well with my boss. A few months ago, he walked into the room and heard some of us saying rude things about him. Since then the atmosphere(气氛)has been very difficult.

Anxious in Aberdeen

Dear Anxious in Aberdeen,

It's obvious to me that you need to rebuild your relationship with your boss. You have hurt his feelings, and now that you need something from him. You have realized what you have done. There is only one thing to doit's time you apologized. I'm sure your boss will be relieved(宽慰的). If you explain why you need the time off, he will probably be more than happy to let you go. Good luck!

Vicky
