I studied in China for four years and for another six years in Canada. There are two teachers from these countries that really impressed me even though they are very 1.
When I 2to Canada, I couldn't even order food on the flight. After two months on an ESL (English as a Second Language) course, I got my first report card. My mark 3English was 65. I was very unhappy. I couldn't imagine 4would be said at the parent-teacher interview.
“Hello!”Mrs Franceschini welcomed my parents. “Richard just came to Canada a few months ago. I am 5at how his English has improved so fast, “ she said. “On his first day, he was very shy and only used 6words. Now he can answer and ask questions by using whole sentences. “
7many other Chinese parents, my mum asked if she could give me extra homework. “Don't worry. Richard is 8working very hard, “ Mrs Franceschini laughed. Then she shook my hand, “Richard, you did a good job. I am proud (骄傲的) of you!” she said.
Back in Shanghai, my teacher Miss Li was very 9. In a test, my average (平均分) was 97, top of the class. I was proud to take my parents to the interview.
Miss Li told my parents, “Feng Yu is doing pretty well. But because he was 10, he lost 3 points in Maths. Otherwise he would be the top of the school. “
I thought she was being unfair (不公平的) to me. But when I was about to 11, I realized Miss Li was very nice. She had a party for me and gave me a big card. Her phone 12and email address were on the card. “Feng Yu, you are my best student. I 13you a successful life, “she wrote. “If you want to talk or need any help, I am always here for you.
Miss Li and Mrs Franceschini are 14great teachers, just in different ways. One built up my learning abilities.15 gave me tons of confidence (自信) and made learning enjoyable. I'm proud to have had them as my teachers.
