导语：
最近我阅读了Pat Zitlo Miller的作品 "Be kind"，深受启发。"Be Kind"是一本适合3岁至7岁儿童阅读的故事书，由Pat Zietlow Miller撰写，Jen Hill绘制插图，于2018年出版。Pat Zitlo Miller是一位儿童文学作家，他的作品涵盖了多种不同的主题，包括友谊、家庭、自我发现和同理心等。他的作品通常面向儿童，但也适合成年读者欣赏。他的作品被认为是温馨、深刻和感人的，常常能够帮助读者理解世界上的不同文化和经历，并激发他们的同理心和理解力。Pat Zitlo Miller曾获得多个儿童文学奖项，其中包括美国儿童图书中心的“新书奖”。
尽管这是一本书为儿童撰写的作品，但它强调了同情心、善良和小善举的力量，我认为不论年龄大小都能从中获益。故事讲述了一个名叫Tanisha的女孩被同学嘲笑后，通过经历学习到如何对他人表达同情和关爱的故事。这样读物看似浅显易懂，但从中折射出来的喻意却是那么的深刻。尽管我已年逾花甲，但我仍然迷恋这样的读物，因为此类读物依样能够引发我对人性和生活的深刻思考。通过阅读这本书，我不仅对同理心和善良有了更深刻的认识，同时也意识到阅读和写作的意义和力量。阅读可以让我们感受到不同的情感和经历，扩展我们的视野和思维方式。而写作则可以让我们表达自己的想法和感受，同时也是一种抒情和放松的方式。下面是我用英文写的读后感，与大家分享，欢迎批评指正。

Written by Prof. Zheng Xinmin
"Be Kind," a children's story written by Pat Zitlo Miller, emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion towards others. The story follows Tanisha, a girl who spills grape juice on her new dress at school and is laughed at by her classmates. Through her experiences, the protagonist learns about the power of small acts of kindness and how they can make a big impact on others.
Reading "Be Kind" brought back memories of my own childhood experiences. I recall a time when I made a mistake in class and my classmates laughed at me. I felt embarrassed and ashamed, but my teacher came over and offered me a kind word and a reassuring smile. Her small act of kindness made me feel better and helped me realize the importance of treating others with empathy and compassion. As I grew older, I started to apply the lessons I learned about kindness and empathy in my personal and professional life.
As a teacher, I made it a point to create a safe and inclusive classroom environment where students felt comfortable sharing their experiences and expressing themselves. By using words of encouragement and support, I showed my students that I cared about them as individuals, not just as students. For instance, one of my students was going through a difficult time at home and was struggling to focus in class. Rather than scolding them or getting frustrated, I took the time to sit down with them and listen to their concerns. This small act of kindness made a big difference in their day and reinforced my belief that small acts of kindness can have a big impact on someone's life, especially during times of difficulty or uncertainty.
The story of Tanisha and the power of kindness resonated with me and reminded me that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone's day. By showing empathy and understanding towards others, I believe we can create a positive and supportive environment that helps them thrive both academically and personally. As I continue to navigate through life, I will strive to treat others with kindness and empathy, just as my teacher did for me all those years ago.
