My Teacher
There are many teachers that help me in my lives before. Most of them are very strict but also very kind. They always help their students when we are in difficult. Teacher is described as a candle, they burned themselves to brighten students’ lives.
The teacher that I remembered and admired the most is my Junior Middle Three form teacher. She is the best teacher I have seen. She was very strict to us and wanted us to do everything perfectly. Until now, only I knew that she treated us so strict is to make sure that all od us have good attitude.
Althought she was very fierce when she was teaching, but she also could play with us happily after class. Sha gave us a lot of good advice and take care of us a lot. She will put all her effort to help us when we have difficult. We have learned many things and moral value under her taughts.
She also helped our class to cook delicious food in the school anneversery. Junior Middle Three is the most beautiful and best memory in my life because of her.All the students in our class became more union is also because of her. She gave that whole class a good memory because she had a lot of activities with us.
I think I will not forget such a good teacher. She is the one who let me become more responsible .
