Question 1
I really liked an elementary school teacher whose name was Mr. Godby. In New Zealand, elementary school teachers teach all subjects and as my school (and town) are very small, one teacher taught one grade. He was my teacher when I was 10 years old.Question 2
I liked Mr. Godby because he liked sports very much, as do I. He was not so kind but he was fair, and he was sometimes funny.Question 3
I never had any terrible teachers. They were all ok, but I hated sewing class at intermediate school (junior high) and I had a few arguements with an English teacher at high school.Question 4
I didn't like sewing class as I am not good at it. The teacher was nice but I think that I frustrated her. On the other hand, my high school English teacher frustrated me. She thought that everything in a book was symbolic of something else. I thought that sometimes a tree is just a tree, nothing more.Question 5
I think I would be good at teaching cooking or history as I am interested in those subjects.Question 6
I do not want to be a sewing teacher as I am hopeless at sewing and I do not enjoy it.Tough Vocabulary
