One day when a little boy was watching _ take off  her prosthetic假體的legs, he asked her     she didn't have any legs.  Thinking quickly she asked him whether he had read The Little Mermaid美人魚.He said“_     .”So Nadya told him that she was a mermaid. The Little boy was        and said,"Wow! That's so cool!” And then he ran off to tell his Dad.
The       of becoming a mermaid became clearer and clearer in Nadya's mind. After      it over, she wrote to Weta Workshop in Wellington to ask if they could      her. She never believed they actually would, so she was excited when she knew they_    _. Weta workshop's manager, Richard Taylor, was very pleased to make it true, and wanted Nadya to be _     .
It took Weta Workshop two years to make a special     for Nadya. "A prosthetic is a prosthetic, and your body has to be comfortable      it and you have to make it part of       ". After practicing in the     , Nadya went to the open sea to try on her mermaid suit. It was       amazing and great to watch Nadya swim, and to see her dream come true.

Although she has a hearing aid(助聽器., she does not let that prevent her from being a great teacher. She told the class about it on the first day and told us not to let it get in the way of our learning and not to treat her differently.
We all like her class, especially an activity which is called the station. Stations are when our tables of four or five become our groups and we go through four various activities, such as Ancient China, in which we need to put together a sentence and write it using ancient symbols. Each station needs about 40 minutes to complete.
Ms. LaRosa has a policy that not many teachers give a second thought to. That is writing in cursive (草書的.letters. She will provide you with various resources so that your cursive handwriting is the best that it can be. Ms. LaRosa always says that she has a reason for everything that she does. Recently we just understood her reason for supporting cursive handwriting. Cursive writing can force you to think in words but not in letters. Also it has been proven that people who write in cursive letters do better on tests.
Ms. LaRosa’s class gets to do various fun and exciting things. She also uses real examples from her own life, such as things that her daughter has done. Ms. LaRosa also has absolute trust in her students. She always leaves her purse on her desk.

Peter Qwen has been making wigs (假發(fā))since the 1980s . He has made wigs for the stars of more than seventy movies ,including Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow and Nicole Kidman in The Others. One of his biggest jobs so far has designed the hair and makeup for the three Lord o f the Ring movies .

"Often we are covering up beauty and making them look ordinary."
All Peter's wigs are handmade using human hair, so they look as real as possible. This also makes them very expensive -between US $ 4,500 and US $12,500 each! He knows he's done a good job when people don't realize the star of the movie is wearing a wig. So he was pleased when one newspaper said that Nicole Kidman had dyed her hair dark brown for a movie.
