a teacher just likes a shining star to students. miss fu, one of my english teacher, is a shining star in my life.
i happened to be in miss fu's class when i began my high school years. at that time, i dared not speak english aloud in public, for i was shy and my pronunciation and intonation① were poor. afraid of being laughed at, i never put up my hand to answer the questions miss fu raised in class, even if i had some good answers to them. for a time, i even lost interest in practising spoken english. when miss fu found out the reason, she encouraged me to speak. first she bought me some english tapes and told me to listen to them carefully, and try to recite them. in class, i was often asked questions and given a lot of chances to practise speaking.little by little, i became brave enough to speak, and was not afraid to speak english before others. miss fu smiled sweetly when she heard the news that i had been chosen to take part in an important oral english contest②.
