Intermediate
A: Who was the best teacher that you ever had?
B: That would have to be Miss.Baymler, my fourth grade teacher.
A: What was she like?
B: She was patient, kind, fun, smart, caring, and yet strict, too. I really learned a lot from her.
A: What kind of things did you learn?
B: She taught us that you can do anything that you want to do.
A: Anything? Do you really believe that we can do anything ?
B: If you really want to do something and you work hard at it, I believe you can do it.
A: You said she was strict. Did she have a lot of rules?
B: She had some rules that helped us to feel comfortable. For example, the students had to treat each other with respect, or they would be disciplined.
A: I see. She sounds like she really cared about her students.
B: Yes. She treated us all fairly. She don’t have any teacher’s pets.
A: Really? Doesn’t every teacher have a teacher’s pet?
B: Well. To be honest, I usually sucked up to teachers because I wanted them to give me good grades. However, miss.baymler didn’t treat me any differently. She really didn’t have any teacher’s pets.
A: Do you know what she is doing now?
B: As a matter of fact, I do. After she taught our class, she got married and moved to another city. Then, she started writing children’s book.
A: Have you ever read one of the books?
B: Of course! Both children and adults enjoy her books.
