I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my fulllength mirror, repeating the

　　words，“Hello, class.

　　I'm Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.

　　Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in

　　and the true Mr. Davis was there.

　　I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a

　　12yearold boy.

　　I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut

　　them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets

　　as I required.

　　“All right then，” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I

　　had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you'll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time！”

　　A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
