    My stutter（口吃） had always been much of a problem. I'd had so many specialists(专家) for my speech over the years. It hurt me until I met a new one in the hall.

"Hello! I'm Mrs. Claussen. I hear you're from Texas!"

"Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am..."My heart felt like it was pounding ( 剧 烈 跳 动)through my chest and my hands were dripping wet.

"Well,” she said with a _________smile. "I've always like Texas."

She turned out to be the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like ________who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was different from others. She spent the first several weeks just talking to me — asking me all kinds of questions about myself, ______my feelings. And she listened . She then began to teach me about the speech. Not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

I __________in my old school and was a pretty good tenor（男高音）, but I learned that the new school's singing group was all _______. It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well- and I could do it .However, Mrs. Claussen finally got me in the group. I felt like she really cared about me as a person, not just a ________________student.

During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better - except with her. When I was in college( 大学), things got worse. I once even wanted to know ____I would ever be able to communicate！ It was a very sad time, and I often felt alone. When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs. Claussen had told me whether I could change my speech was all up to me. She had told me to fight for perfect speech, just _______speech. She was right about that. I finally improved my speech greatly.

Many years have passed, but I think of her from time to time, wondering (想知道)if she had as much _______on her other students as she had on me. I like to think that she did. Her name was Mrs. Claussen... and she __________me . I'll never forget her.
