Writing exercise

My favourite teacher is the head teacher of senior high school who is a nice and patient women. When I was a student, I wasn’t good at talking with classmates. She gave me a chance to as a commissary in charge of publicity and introduced me to a teacher who is the manager of school radio station. So I need to read many messages of different departments everyday. And I had been school radio director for 1 year which made me improve my confidence. Now I have been learning English for IEITS. I would like to study English Language Education in Britain. If I become a teacher in the future, I guess I will get along with my students very well. I think it must be a good memory in my life.

My favourite teacher is the head teacher of my high school. She is my favourite because she is a nice and patient woman. When I was a student, I wasn’t good at talking with classmates. She gave me a chance to be the commissary in charge of publicity in my classroom. Additionally, she introduced me to the teacher who was the manager of the school radio station. As my classroom’s commissary, I needed to read many messages from different departments everyday. I was also the school’s radio director for 1 year which made me improve my confidence.

Now I have been learning English for IELTS. I would like to study English Language Education in Britain. If I become a teacher in the future, I know I will do my best to get along with my students very well. I think it will be a memorable experience for me.
