葛瑞絲：高中英語老師 

我在大學時開始閱讀《空中英語教室》。 成為高中英語老師後，也在課堂上使用這本雜誌，結果學生的英語考試成績都進步了。 此外，我鼓勵學生採取積極態度，並接受空英雜誌教授的正面價值觀。 我在有一年陪同高三學生一起畢業旅行；期間，我的一個學生跳樓自殺。 她的死深深震撼了全班。 事發後，我們返回學校，我翻開《空中英語教室》當天的文章。 〈如何找到你的正能量〉正是我們所需要的。 學生和我都哭了。 那篇文章撫慰了我們的心，並給予了我們新希望。

有一天晚上，家人和我在一間餐廳前發現了一隻幼鳥。 這隻可憐的小鳥瑟縮在角落，於是我們便把牠帶回家。 雖然我在很多年前養過鳥，但沒有信心能照顧好這一隻。 突然間，我想起在《空中英語教室》讀過的一篇文章，是關於溫哥華一間鳥類收容所。 我上網搜尋我的居住地紐澤西的鳥類收容所；沒想到，還真的找到了一家，然後我立刻打電話過去。

成功聯絡後不久，我們就把那隻幼鳥送到收容所。

謝謝你，空中英語教室！

Grace: high school English teacher

In university, I started reading Studio Classroom. When I became a high school English teacher, I used it in my classes, and my students' English exam scores improved. I also wanted my students to adopt a positive attitude and be influenced by the positive values the magazine teaches.

I accompanied my high school seniors on their graduation trip. On the trip, one of my students jumped off a building. Her death shook our whole class to the core. When we returned to school after the suicide, I opened to that day's Studio Classroom article. "How to Find Your Positive Power" was just what we needed. My students and I wept. That article comforted our hearts and gave us new hope.

One evening, my family and I found a baby bird in front of a restaurant. The poor bird was cowering in the corner, so we took it home. Although I had raised birds many years before, I didn't have the confidence to take good care of this one. Suddenly, I remembered a lesson about a bird shelter in Vancouver that I had read in Studio Classroom. I searched online to find a bird shelter in New Jersey, where I live. To my surprise, we found one and called immediately. We delivered the baby bird to that organization soon after we called them. Thank you, Studio Classroom!
