Now I want to describe one of my favorite teachers from my school. I can’t remember, obviously I remember, when I’m studying 5th grade at school. I use the hate, the English language honestly because of the speaking grammar and pronunciation, all of them. I use the hate but after one teacher, the teacher, she was really kind and helpful. Besides, I can say she was young, roughly 20 years, she started to teach English language as a subject at school. I used the hate but the ones she came near me and she said let’s try to read this. I just said I can’t read and she said believe in yourself, I will teach and I will make you correct your mistake. I said okay but I was really angry because of around my classmates, they are listening to me and that’s fine. I said I read something I cannot remember, I couldn’t read and the teacher said it’s not a problem because of it’s not your native language. Then she said let me read this sentence and she read and she taught me how to read and I read again. It was a great second time and I was really happy. After the lesson, I used to take 5 minutes to the teacher and she used to teach me how to read but once in a month I started to read the English words. I was really happy after this teacher, that’s why it’s one of my favorite teachers.

Now I want to describe one of my favorite teachers from school. I remember when I was in 5th grade. I used to hate the English language because of the grammar and pronunciation. I really disliked it, but then one teacher came along. She was really kind and helpful. I can say she was young, around 20 years old, when she started teaching English at our school. I used to hate it, but when she came near me and said, 'Let's try to read this,' I told her I couldn't read. She encouraged me, saying, 'Believe in yourself, I will teach you, and I will help you correct your mistakes.' I agreed, but I was really nervous because my classmates were listening to me. I attempted to read something, but I couldn't. The teacher reassured me, saying, 'It's not a problem; it's not your native language.' Then she read the sentence and taught me how to read it. The second time I tried, I was really happy. After the lesson, I would take 5 minutes to talk to her, and she would help me learn how to read. Once a month, I started to read English words. I was really happy because of this teacher, and that's why she is one of my favorites.
