Tyler was a troublesome student. He sat in the back row. Every time I called him to answer questions, he’d reply with a flip（轻率的）answer. If he got it wrong, he would get very angry.

Usually kids could sit quietly in class. However, Tyler was just loud. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. I said to him, “Tyler, why not join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” He got up from his chair, pushed it over, and shouted something I can’t remember. I sent him to the office and he received a week’s out-of-school punishment.

The week was a wonderful time for me, but when it came to an end, I began to feel worried. So I came up with a plan. On the day of his return, I told him I wanted to start over with him. If he felt like he was going to lose control in class, he could step outside the door for a moment.

From then on, Tyler was a changed student in my classroom. In fact he was a smart child and he even stopped a fight between two students one day. And he never used the privilege（特权）to leave the class for a moment. I believe that just letting him decide for himself made all the difference.

When the year was over, he wrote me a thank-you note about how good the year had been for him. I still have it today and find it very moving to reread when I get stressed about teaching.

1.When Tyler was talking in class, the teacher advised him to 　　　　　　 .

He rode along until a strange sound stopped him.. He looked up to the sky. What he saw frightened him. A huge group of bees filled the sky like dark cloud and seemed to be flying angrily towards him.
