Read All About It

When I was at high school, studying Chinese, I was very close to my teacher. Whenever she set an essay for us to write, I would always ensure that the contents I wrote were interesting and different from those of my classmates, and was always engaged in class. She, for her part, took an active interest in my education, and taught me to find a love of Chinese language and Chinese culture, which is, in its own way, more important than any of the mere facts she taught me in school. In my last year of high school, for my birthday, she gave me a set of chopsticks, as a way of thanking me for my efforts in studying. To this day, I treasure these chopsticks, as a token of my teacher’s respect and care for me.
