有一个来自我初中生活时代我永远不会忘记的人是王老师，我七年级的英语老师。
The one person from my junior high school days that I will never forget is Mrs. Wong, my English teacher in Grade 7.
当我首次开始七年级生活的时候我很腼腆不敢与任何人交谈。
When I first started Grade 7, I was shy and did not dare to speak to anyone.
我的英语很不好，
My English was not very good,
在课上我回答问题时感到很紧张，
and I felt nervous when I had to answer questions in class.
即使我知道答案但在说话时有点困难，
I would have problems speaking even though I knew the answer.
我自己感到很伤心。
I felt quite unhappy with myself.
有一天王老师课后跟我谈话，
One day she spoke to me after class.
她鼓励我慢慢说。
She encouraged me to speak slowly.
她还对我说她坚信，
She also told me that she believed,
如果我多多练习我就能流利地说话。
I could speak well if I practice more.
我被她所说的话深深感动，
I was touched by what she said,
她的话让我更加努力训练口语技能。
and it made me work harder on my speaking skills.
王老师连续不断地鼓励我，
Mrs. Wang continued to encourage me,
我更加充满自信。
and I became even more confident.
我进步如此快以至于赢了那年的英语演讲赛！
I improved so much that I won an English speech contest that year!
我将永远感激王老师的良好建议与大力支持。
I will always be thankful to Mrs. Wong for her advice and support.
当我们班在校运会上获得了一等奖时我感到格外激动。

在七年级第一天我感到很害羞，不敢跟任何人交谈。

我难以相信今天便是初中生活的最后一天，
I can’t believe that today is the last day of junior high school.
我依然记得七年级的第一天就像是昨天一样。

我以前的确是个腼腆的人，

于是在初中第一天，
so on the first day of junior high,
我是那么恐惧和紧张。

我原以为我交不到任何朋友了。

But now, I realize that I was just being silly.
自从那时起一直到现在我已经结交了这么多好朋友，
Since then, I have made so many good friends,
还与他们分享这么多美好回忆。
