Our teacher,Miss Chua,is nearing retirement.However, she still commands our great 1 for being an excellent teacher. She has short hair that is gradually 2 white,an indication that age is creeping on her.The wrinkles (皱纹) that line her face 3 of years of hard work and selfless devotion to her students.She wears a pair of glasses through which her kind eyes are always 4 fixed upon us with affection and consideration.She looks splendid in her 5 clothes which she will not throw away for something more 6 ,reflecting a thrifty (节俭的) nature.Through her,we have learned to be more careful with 7 .Not only that,she has also taught us the 8 of filial duty (孝道) by setting us a good 9 of looking after her eighty-five years old mother. All her life,she has never 10 her duty towards her family and her students.For much of her life,she has been working hard,displaying a 11 of discipline and an attitude of industry which she is presently 12 to fix in our mind. As her parents could not afford to 13 her to university,she saved hard and managed to graduate 14 a degree from a British university.This is an inspiration to us—that absolute 15 leads to ual fulfillment of dreams. Miss Chua is totally committed to the 16 of her students.Armed with a keen insight into the teaching process,she never fails to 17 our minds and most important,her gift to us has been the development of a good 18 of English. The day when Miss Chua 19 school and retires,I will send her a thousand flowers with the message “You’ve 20 us well.” I will never forget her.She has made a great impact on my life and on my English. 1.
