One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder² of the class period to finish the assignment³, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the paper.

在一个星期五，我让同学们把班上除自己之外其他同学的名字写在两张纸上，名字与名字间留点空隙。然后我让他们想想每位同学最好的地方是什么，并把这也写下来。大家用那堂课剩余的时间完成了这项任务，到下课离开教室的时候他们把各自的两张纸交给了我。

That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate⁴ sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her list.
