How will geography affect your life？For some children around the world，the environment they grow up in has a huge effect on their lives.This is the case in Madagascar，an island country in Africa，where a 3 D-printed school is now being built.

Maggie then drew a design for the school.She thought about what the people might need and where they worked best.
Next，Maggie found an architect and 3 D printing company for the job.To make it environmentally friendly，they use a special 3 D printer to build the school.It meant up to 50 percent less concrete（混凝土） used and less CO2.Plus，the school could be completed in just a week.They also used local materials to build the doors，windows and roof.
What's more，Thinking Huts trained local workers to use a 3 D printer so that they could build more schools on their own in the future.Maggie plans to print more new schools in other parts of Madagascar because one in five children don't have the chance to attend primary school there.

1．I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others.Slowly，most of the people around me tried to keep away from me.
One day，as I was getting ready for school，my busy mother handed me a vest（背心）.When I saw it，I knew that was my father's—I was taller and stronger than my father.So as I put on the vest，I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe!The feeling of anger was rising in my heart.My mother said sorry with a smile，but I was so angry that I let out a shout.Soon，I pulled the vest off my chest（胸口）—so wildly that I made a hole in it.Then I put on my own vest and rushed out before she could stop me.
Later，my mother shared these with my father.Instead of saying he would scold（訓(xùn)斥） me，my father just asked my mother to mend（縫補(bǔ)） the vest.Then he wore it to work as usual.
When my mother told me about my father's action，I sat alone and thought a lot .Just imagining that he was wearing that broken vest in his office the whole day made me feel so terrible.But I had to say，my father did set a great example for me.That night I thought a lot.I promised myself that I would never let anger control my mind any longer.
Of course，there are times when I get angry.However，whenever that happens，I will try to remember my father's vest.
