My favourite teacher
To this date in my life I have been taught by more than forty teachers.
All of them have had an impact on me, but one stands out: Mr. Green, my
middle school English teacher. He is my favourite teacher for a number of
reasons.
First of all, Mr. Green had a positive attitude. He always looked on the
bright side of a situation and he was able to see the good in us. In
addition, he often inspired us. I can never forget when he encouraged us
to do everything to our greatest ability. His words always made us feel
good about ourselves. He was full of energy as well. Every single day, he
was as energetic as a fully charged battery. Nobody knew how he
managed to get all this strength. Besides, he had a great sense of humour.
He always made a joke about the topic we were learning. It kept us
involved, awake, and best of all, we laughed a lot. He also had endless
patience. When I was stuck on a problem, he helped me out. He never
screamed at me.
Finally, he was trustworthy. I felt comfortable when I talked to him. Whenever I had good news, he was the
first person I wanted to share it with. Whenever I had a problem at school, at home, or anywhere else, he was
there to listen with open ears and ready with helpful advice.
In a word, Mr. Green is the definition of the perfect teacher. He made learning enjoyable and exciting.
More importantly, he loved and cared about us. He is my role model. I hope I can be a great teacher just like
him when I grow up.
