A
When I was in my fourth year of teaching，I was also(and am still)a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year, I had a student，John，who entered my class when he was a junior(三年 级学生)John changed to our school from Greece，and seemed to be interested in athletics，so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before，I did believe that he could do well in any event，and l would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country．I went to him asking，“John，I really appreciate that you came out for the track team，but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more，since you’re so good at it.”
John answered，“Well，I like tennis，but you told me that you believed in me，and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”
From then on, I often remember my student’s reply．I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的)students can be of themselves．I've found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!
