ШКОЛА. Text 19. OUR BEST ENGLISH TEACHER.

If you want to find the best English teacher, you should come to our school. Miss White will meet you there with a kind smile and warm words. She will tell you the best story in the world, and it is always with a happy ending. All of us love and respect her very much.

One day Miss White gave us an interesting task. We had to find the best friend for Tom. All of us wanted to be a good friend for him. So we told her our own stories.

“Once we came to a narrow path with a big rock in the middle of it. We couldn’t go around it. I helped my little friend to push it out of the way.”

Miss White was pleased. “It’s not bad to have a strong and helpful friend,” she said.

“Once it was cold and slippery. My little friend wanted to cross the road. The lights changed quickly. He began to hurry and fell down. I helped him to rise.”

Miss White smiled. “You are careful and helpful, too. It’s great!”

“My little friend was lost in a supermarket. He was very upset. I helped him to find his mother.”

Miss White was very glad and said, “That’s the best thing you could tell me. You have a great heart. My dear children, all of you are good friends for Tom. I shan’t worry about him and you anymore. Thank you.”

The teacher’s words were the best marks for us. We thanked Miss White for the wonderful lesson.
