School life about a teacher
Hi, guys! I am an English teacher from a mixed school. I teach students English every day. They think learning foreign languages is fun. Our school ends early every afternoon. If students need help with English, I always offer them help after school. During lunchtime, they often discuss sports like baseball with each other. The sports meeting is coming. I hope they can win each game. And I also hope my students can be happy every day!
