Today, English lecturer praises my essay!
Aww…I am happy. (although it is for first paragraph only)
I want to thanks to Mr. John Chua who was once my tutor ( I know it is not Grammy Awards). He had been a really good teacher either teaching me english or giving advice about life. It is very hard to find such ethical teacher nowadays. He hold umbrella for students when it is raining, never upbraid us using words like, ” Why I told so many times already, you still cannot understand?” with impatient expression, always like to say his stories and tell politics in Malaysia, he gets excited when people ask questions and always reply with a broad smile. I still remember vividly the way he tells us “in the future, you all must already forget what I have taught now” He says it’s like that one, not all can absorbed, but got some can remember in the mind. I always get very sad when he said like this because he teaches us like really ‘yong xin’. I never saw a teacher so concentrate in teaching.
He used to tell me not to trust everyone, study english is like life-learning process, think logically. He used to tell me so many things that influnce me so much in building up the character of myself. Last times I never pay attention to the grammar of other people used in essay. But, John chua always give me one passage from newspaper and we will read through the passage. He purposely choose the one with grammar mistakes, then he tells me it’s like this not like that in a picky way. This disease within a little time spread to me. Don’t underestimate him although he is nearly 70 years old. I must say hehas a good memory and have sensitive thinking. So, now I also cannot bear with someone’s essay that is full of grammar mistakes now. Certainly! Yes, he becomes mean and serious when comes to anything related to english. this leaves a tremendous impact on me, really, teacher you have no ides how you affect me so much to become a good person and improve my english and help me to score an A1 in 1119, some of my friends who speak fluently in english also didn’t get that score. I really appreciate what you have done. you not only teach me, you give me an opportunity to know me again. I am not splasing horse’s butt (pai ba pi).
But now, I am sad because I got no you teach me English. I know although sometimes I almost sleep during your classes (let’s face it, i am sleeping), i did not pay attention to what you teach, I didn’t pass up my essays on time and keep on delaying, I think it is boring to have you in one-to-one tuition class, even now, I still mix up present tense and past tense. haha..serves me right. Till now, i miss the way you teach us. Everytime i think, so many memories flood in. Serves me right.
To Mr John chua,
You have been the most incredible, wonderful, marvellous, excellent teacher I have ever met.
p/s: and you shall never see this, it has some is full of grammar mistakes in this passage. ouch.. kepala pening >.<”
This is why i have to mop the floor, do the laundry and pack all my things before i go. I can’t bear after coming back here have to do all these again. Instead, i try to finish my assignments here also, so i no need to bother and can sit back and relax at home. Doubtfully, it’s seem like an *impossible mission*.
