Praise can change a person. It is true that    (inspire) words turn our lives around. Praise is really magical. Perhaps many of us had such experiences. Take myself       an example. I was very naughty in the primary school. Most of the teachers and even my parents felt headache of me. But       happened  that I once got a very high mark in       examination and the head teacher   (report) this to my parents. My parents praised me       (crazy) for this for quite a long time and told neighbours about that. I felt really happy     became polite to others. Every time      I heard others talk to me about my excellent examination result, I thought to myself     I would work even harder and make     (great) progress. Just as Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages”.
