Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new house in Arizona . He moved there a few year ago , and I wanted very much to see his new place and meet his friends .
In my earliest memories my father was a tall , handsome and successful man . He loved his work and family , but was uncomfortable with his children . As a child I loved him ; as a schoolgirl and young adult I was afraid of him . He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s in my study and unhappy with boyfriend if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was . Whenever I went out with him on weekends , I used to try hard to think up things to say to protect myself .
On the first day of my visit , we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch . We walked along that afternoon , did some shopping , ate on the street table , and laughed over my son’s funny talks . My father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules were gone . He seemed so friendly and interesting to be with us .
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me many stories about his own childhood . Although our times together became easier over the years . I never felt closer to him at the moment. After so many years , I’m at last seeing another side of my father . And in so doing , I’m happy with my new friend. My dad , in this new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was .

Most children don’t enjoy doing the housework . They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms . But in Australia Jim and Robert’s mother , Mrs. Black , has good and proper methods to get her children to do it . Here is an example .
“Mum , have you worked out next week’s housework Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can’t wait . It’s fun!”
When Robert shouted out , his mother has already put all the cards on their big table . On the cards , there are some words like these , “sweep the floor , clean your bedroom , help mum cook , wash vegetables , make the bed , feed the fish , cut the wood , clean the bathroom”and many others , Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday . Then they would hang them on the board . Jim likes to clean the bathroom , so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card . Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.
To help the children do the housework , their mother thought hard and came up with this idea . Of course , the parents did the housework on weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free .

When it comes to the letter grade on you test or homework , you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system , the first four letters are typically considered passing grades . An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean “not-passing” or “fail” . Some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory” , or I grade for “incomplete” .
Even with all this said , we should also point out than E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use tody is Mount Holyoke College . In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale :
A: 95%-100% (excellent ) B: 85%-94% (good ）
C 76%-84%（fair) D 75%(barely passed )
E: below 75% (failed )
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually , the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However ,, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence (证据） really support this , but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent” .
Why do we have letter grades Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools . As the 20th century began , growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms . Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy , fair and clear way to grade students .
Today , more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) student learning . However , as teachers try to improve grading methods , many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids . They are familiar (熟悉) and easy for parents to understand . So while they might not be perfect , the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon .

When was the letter grading system first used in the US college

When it comes to the letter grade on you test or homework , you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system , the first four letters are typically considered passing grades . An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean “not-passing” or “fail” . Some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory” , or I grade for “incomplete” .
Even with all this said , we should also point out than E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use tody is Mount Holyoke College . In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale :
A: 95%-100% (excellent ) B: 85%-94% (good ）
C 76%-84%（fair) D 75%(barely passed )
E: below 75% (failed )
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually , the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However ,, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence (证据） really support this , but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent” .
Why do we have letter grades Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools . As the 20th century began , growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms . Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy , fair and clear way to grade students .
Today , more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) student learning . However , as teachers try to improve grading methods , many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids . They are familiar (熟悉) and easy for parents to understand . So while they might not be perfect , the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon .
