You Life is What You Make It Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teacher's certificate last year.His parents wanted him to get a good job in Shanghai.But he was inspired by the idea of living independently away from home.So he applied for and became a volunteer teacher in a village school.Bringing with him lots of books，clothes，and two pairs of trainers，Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart.He imagined all sorts of exciting things about living and teaching in a village.
    However，not everything lived up to Zhang Tian's hopes.The school was much smaller than he expected，with only three classrooms.In front of the classrooms，there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days.Living in the village was also more challenging than he had thought.The power and water supplies were unstable，so he could only shower every three or four days，and he had to learn how to cook.The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind，but he quickly gave up the idea and found ways to deal with the challenges.
    The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only English teacher.The other two local teachers were responsible for maths and Chinese.To make school life healthier and livelier for his students，Zhang Tian introduced more subjects to the school— music，art and PE.It is not surprising that PE is the kids' favourite subject!Their school lives are now more attractive and interesting，and they enjoy playing football in the playground，as well as singing songs they've learnt.The school is now full of laughter and music.Zhang Tian is planning to organise the first ever school concert!Everyone is very excited.
