Answer 1

I would like to describe one of my teachers who taught me at high school. He had a great influence on me and was a role model whom I look up to.

His name is Duc and he taught me Math for 3 years of high school. He was in his 50s, and so he had a lot of teaching experience. Actually, we met each other almost everyday as he was also my form teacher. He cared about us as if we had been his sons and daughters.

Above all, I was most influenced by the way he taught us in class. His style in teaching inspired me to study Math, even though I had not been interested in the subject before. Thanks to his effective teaching method, I was able to pass the university entrance exam with a high Math grade. Besides, I was also influenced by his lifestyle, which was so simple and worthy of respect that I really wanted to copy his. As she is a warm-hearted person, she always gave us advice about any problems we faced. At times, I felt that she was like my friend who I could share everything with.

Although we have now all graduated from high school, my friends and I often visit her at the weekends to tell her about our daily life at university.
