Tears

The English teacher had the grade 9's write a short essay about their favorite teacher. Today he gave me a few of them; they're bringing tears to my eyes.
(Note, they have trouble with he/she him/her, and 'use to' means 'usually' or 'does'.)

My favourite teacher is Ms Jackson

I like him because she is a good teacher She don't treat us in bad way and she always when we pass her quiz or test she use to award us something so that we must be serious with her subject. She alway present in her period and she use to teach us until we understand and she gave us many thing like book, pencil eraser bubber and sharpener. When we are writing her subject during test or exam she use to provide us with calculator and pencil. And she use to follow time and when we don't understand she use to give us correction so that we must understand her well. And I would like to say that I thank her too for everything she brought here at our school and we steel want him to be with us next year.

The Article

The last few years she was arrived at the school compined in Divundu town. All of the learner they have come to luve and respect Miss Jenifa Jackson, our math teacher.

It was very great dejected that we have learned about one of our favourite teachers leaving the school at the end of this year.

Miss Jennifa is a real special somehow and we used to feel glad when she give us some encourages to always a pleasure to be in her class. She is great fun.

Her period we used to enjoy when she is in the class room Even she was very proud/jovial at all. I would be sad to see her going back to U-S-A, because she used to give us something wich make us to feel jovial and active so that we must interested in her subject.

Ms. Jackson her way going back to America I will never ever to see her again in my lify until at the end of the world.
