四、连句成篇
Writing
Here is a picture of our head teacher, Ms. Chen, who is at her desk, busy going over students’ homework.
In the picture, Ms. Chen sits at her desk, with her body leaning forward slightly and her eyes fixed on the exercise books. She has her pen held tightly in her right hand, marking mistakes and writing gentle comments. Her eyebrows are furrowed a little, like she is thinking carefully about how to help us make progress. She tends to tap her fingers lightly on the desk when meeting confusing answers, and she has a tendency to block out all outside noise, fully focused on our work.
From these small body movements, I get the impression that Ms. Chen is devoted and thoughtful. The way she bends over our homework and reads every line carefully explains why I see her as a caring teacher who truly values every student’s growth.
