My English teacher
There are so many people who contributed to our progress. Unfortunately, we may forget who they are. Since we first came to school until today, we cannot mention their names one by one completely with all the detailed information about them. Including how they have contributed to us so that we can become who we are today.
I still remember there was a very good teacher who taught me when I was in senior high school.
He was the most down-to-earth male teacher I had ever met at school. He is very patient, kind, and resolute. He never gets angry with his students even though they are so naughty and irresponsible. He never punished them harshly like the other teachers. He only advised them not to repeat it in the future.
His pair of eyes had a shady, fatherly look. His eyes are pitch black. His nose is so pointy. His face is slightly round. He is about 170cm tall and weighs about 75kg.
He really likes white. I’ve never seen him wear a shirt in a colour other than white. He once told me, white symbolizes cleanliness. People who like to wear white clothes will always try to keep themselves and their clothes clean because if they are dirty, the dirt will be very clearly visible on the clothes they wear.
He always brought a pile of books when he entered my class. His leather shoes were black and barely made a sound as he walked around the classroom checking the students’ work.
He loves to tell stories. There’s just something to tell. Sometimes he told how he almost arrived late because the car he was in had a flat tire. Sometimes he also told me about the literary books he had just finished reading. He always spoke in English. We listened carefully because every time he finished his story he would ask us about the contents of the story.
