A Good Teacher（一位好老师）

Dear friends, do you have teachers? You may say, “Yes，everyone has his or her own teachers.” I’ll never forget my first English teacher. Without her help, I couldn’t have written these very words. I think she is the best teacher I have ever had.

She is not tall, and she has two big eyes. Her voice sounds nice and she speaks English very well. When I first attended her class, I noticed these things about her.

English was a new subject for me and I was not willing to speak English in public. She taught me and my classmates carefully and patiently. She always gave us chances to speak English. Whenever we finished a role-play or a dialogue, she would praise and encourage us. Once I participated in a dialogue with my classmate. I spoke very well that day. When we finished, she said to me: “ You’re a very good speaker.” In my primary school I was considered a silly girl, because I was silent in class and a slow learner. Now, my English teacher had praised me. Her words were very important for me and gave me confidence and courage. She gave me what I needed. I am still very grateful.

In my eyes, she is not only an English teacher, but also a kind mother. She cared about me just like my own mother. One day, as we played a game in our English class, I fell down. My knees were hurt, and turned black and blue. She was very worried and hurried to help me.

She moved to another city with her family half a year ago. I can’t express how much I miss her. Whenever I think of her, I listen to a tape that contains her words. I may never meet her again, so I want to send her my best wishes in this essay. I wish my dear teacher happiness, good health and good luck. I also want to say to her: “ Thank you, my teacher. I love you!”
