The Most Memorable Lesson I’ve ever Had

I’ve had quite a lot of lessons in my school life. Among them the one

given by an American young teacher was the most unforgettable. It was on Tuesday morning in May last year. Our teacher told us all of a sudden that an American visitor would give us an English lesson. Then came in a young man. He greeted us in English and then began his class, which was quite different from what we’ve had before. During the class he taught us English songs, played games with us and helped us act out a dialogue. He neither taught us English grammar rules nor asked us to do lots of written exercises. He was not serious at all. He was always smiling at each of us. Happy time was always short. The class was over before we realized it. Finally, we took a photo with the American visitor and said goodbye to him.

Though we just spent two hours with him, I would never forget his smile, his songs and everything he had done with us in class
