Writing exercise

I am a teacher,I teach students for painting which was named rock-color painting.

I has been a teacher for two years because I really like this work even though I have to undergo tremendous sacrifice such as times and self-life.For one thing,both my parents and sister are teachers,they have lots of experiences about how to be a good teacher.They put an example to me.For the other thing,I like to stay with my students. I teach them some skills and special materials for painting,they also can teach me something I don’t know in life. The most important reason is that the rock color painting has a long history in China,but majority of young people don’t know it,it is a really pity of the education!

I n my country,people realize the importance of the traditional culture and the education ,so it need countless teachers in different specialties.More and more young people choose to be a teacher.In my point of view, I have a responsibility to rock color painting,and I would do my best to teach my students.
