Finally, around 9 p.m., we stopped at a gas station to fill up on gas. My husband asked for a phone book and told the woman at the counter that we were trying to find a motel. He tried for 15 minutes. When he was unsuccessful, the woman, Linda, said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home.
My husband was stunned at her offer. She called her son to direct us, since she had to stay at the gas station till midnight.
When we reached their home, her husband greeted us. He took out two sleeping bags for the children. He invited us to have coffee and chat while we waited for his wife.

It is 6:00a.m.on the first day of the school year. In Chery brook Technology High School, mathematics teacher Eddie Woo is already at work.
One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod(三脚架)and iPad in the middle of the classroom. “I’m Mr. Woo. I record my lessons. I record all of them. In fact, I’m about to record this one,” he explains to his new maths class.
He started posting videos online in 2018 for a student who was sick with cancer and missing a lot of website, so he started sharing them across the country and beyond. Wootube now has more than 38,000 subscribes(用户)and has attracted almost 4 million views worldwide.
Cherybrook Technology High School principal(校长)Gary Johnson said Mr.Woo was helping maths teachers in Australia and making maths popular again. “He has an ability to simplify(简化)maths to a level where kids can really understand it.” Mr.Johnson said.
12-yearold student Emily Shakespear said Mr. Woo’s teaching style made maths easy and interesting “I don’t want to say it, but he sucked me into maths,” she said. Owen Potter, who attends high school in Cobar. agreed. “It’s difficult to understand how someone in Sydney can influence thousands of people across the whole country,” he said.
Mr. Woo won the 2018 University of Sydney Young Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievement, and he was one of 12 Australian teachers honored at the Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards.
28. Eddie Woo set up an iPadin the middle of the classroom with the purpose of ________.
