I have been living in overseas for 4 years now, and 4 years that i have not celebrated Teacher's Day with my teachers.

i may never have the chance to express my gratitude to some of my teachers, as i had lost contact with them many years ago. maybe now all they had remember of me was just a little girl who was scared to step forward, not the girl with confidence and determination you all saw today. but no matter where they are, no matter how much they remember me, i want to thank all those who had taught me, and those who are teaching me right now, i want to give them a big "Thank You" for their efforts, and for their endless love for their students!

Happy Teacher's Day! www.lwfree.cn/jiaoshijie

i have an excellent teacher since the day i was born: my mother. she taught me how to speak words, she showed me how to walk, and her hands had guided me through a lot things. whenever i want to cry, i run into her arms; whenever i want comfort, i find her; whenever i am confused, i asked for her guide.

i had a very good teacher when i was in primary school. as i start school a year earlier, my teacher was worried that i may not follow the class. so she spent a lot time teaching me, and watching me play with others, if it is not her, i may not be the open-minded and easy girl i am today.

as i went to singapore, i had a very good english teacher. though you may think my english is quite gd, the first year of overseas was a very tough year for me, and he taught me english. he had always gave me extra tutions. without him, i wont graduate as the first in my class, without him, i would still be a girl struggling with english everyday.

i had a very understanding chinese teacher when i was in middle school, she seem to know what i feel, and always told me that it is not easy to live overseas, and that i should find my own sky. she had given me courage to go on, and with her excellent teaching, my chinese had improved dramatically.

also in middle school, i had a drama coach who introduced me to another part of the sky. he taught me how to act, how to express your feelings, and how to read with feelings. i had create wonders through his hands, i had touched a sky with the help from him. i, had acted as a main role in a school drama production, though my english is still not perfect.

as i came to america, i had an old teacher who had been in the field for over 30 years. he may not be a very good man, but he is a very good teacher. he helped me review all those english skills that i had forgotten, and made my english foundation stronger. under his class, i made it to regular in the second year of living in america. even now my new english teacher find it amazing for a girl from china to study regular english class in her second year of being in america.

everyone will have lots of teachers in their entire life, but not so many teachers will leave a strong expression in your head. i thank those teachers who had touched my heart, and gave me a new world to create, and i thank them for their efforts, their kind heart, and their excellent teaching. without them, i would not be the girl i am today. without them, i would not have the success, the pride, the honors i now owned. without them, my life, will be a hole with total darkness. they, had given me light to go on, they, had given me strength to strive for my goals, they along, had taught me what i need to know about life.

After reading this wonderful story, I can feel love, brave, deep friendship and some other good spirits in the people. The Scarecrow wanted some brains, but on the way to the Emerald City, he thought out of a way to cross the river. The Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave, but when they met the river, he carried other friends to jump across it. And the Tin Man wanted a heart, he said he couldn’t love, but he didn’t want to hurt any animal. In fact, they all have the things they want: the Scarecrow is clever, the Cowardly Lion is brave and the Tin Man is kind-hearted. This book tells us a story of how a little girl Dorothy goes back to her hometown when she is in another strange city. Dorothy is a little girl who lived with her aunt and uncle in Kansas. The weather there is very bad, sometimes there was a cyclone. When a cyclone came, people stayed under their houses. But one day a cyclone blows Dorothy’s house, with Dorothy and her dog Toto in it, to a country called Oz. In that city there are four witches and a very famous wizard—the Wizard of Oz. And Dorothy’s house just fell on the bad Witch of the East and killed her, so the people there were very happy. Dorothy took the witch’s red shoes and wore them. She wanted to go home to Kansas but she doesn’t know how to get there. So the Witch of North told her to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard of Oz to help her. Then Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too. The Scarecrow wanted some brains, the Tin Man wanted a heard, and the Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave. So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. On the way to the Emerald City they met some difficulties, but they solved them successfully. After they met the Wizard of Oz, the wizard gave them another challenge—to kill the bad Witch of the West and they accept. During the way to the Witch of the West’s house, they were caught by the witch and Dorothy was requested to work for her. One day, when the witch tried to catch Dorothy’s red shoes, Dorothy threw some water on the witch by accident and the Witch of the West disappeared. Only water can kill her. So Dorothy went back to the Emerald City with her friends but they found the Wizard of Oz is not a real wizard, he is also a man came from Kansas, and he is just a conjurer. He wanted to go back to Kansas too. So he made a big balloon and prepared to go. But when the balloon is going to raise, Dorothy’s dog Toto jumped away to run after a cat, so Dorothy had to get Toto back and they were left in Oz. Then Dorothy and Toto went and find the Witch of the South and the witch told them they can just use the red shoes on Dorothy’s feet, they’re a pair of magic shoes, they could take anybody go back to their home as soon as she said‘East, west—home is the best!’After Dorothy said goodbye to her friends, she went back to her new home with her dog. It’s really a wonderful risk. Yes, no matter where we are, home is always the best place for us to rest or study. There are our parents here; there are also our favorite things here. At home, we feel safe, we feel comfortable, and we can relax ourselves. From this story, we can see Dorothy is a brave and kind-hearted girl. She killed the two bad witches in Oz; she helped the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard and get what they want. She solved problems when they met difficulties. It’s really not easy for such a little girl. We also learn that teamwork is important for us. When we are in trouble, we can ask our friends for help, and also, when our friends need help, we should go and help them. Just remember, more people, more power. It’s always better has more people to do a thing. Teamwork is really necessary in our lives. And we can see the Scarecrow is absolutely cleaver, he understands things, he can think, he learn quickly, and he suggested Dorothy to cut down a tree to cross the river. The tin man has a kind heart, he laughs, he cries, he loves, he feels sorry for people. The Cowardly Lion is really brave, he did a lot of brave things, he carried the friends to go across the river, and he wanted to find some food for his friends and so on. We should learn from them too. When we are in trouble, we should calm down, watch the things around www.lwfree.cn carefully, and try to think out of a way to solve it, just like the Scarecrow. We also should be brave as we are in danger, we can’t be afraid, we should face the difficulty and try to go through it, just like the Cowardly Lion. And we should learn to love people, to feel sorry for people, to make more friends, to get on well with everyone around us, just like the Tin Man. Yes, we should learn how to get on with other people, we should help each other, we should be brave, we should love other people. If we can do like this, we can be a better girl (boy), more and more people will make friends with us, and more and more people will like us!
