Last Monday, we were having our Chinese class while the teacher suddenly slipped and fall. We were all worried about her. One of the boy carried her on the back, under the help of some others, to the clinic immediately. It turned out that her right leg was breaking and she had to stay in hospital. The following day, we went to visit her with flowers and fruit. Seeing her lying in bed with leg wrapped in bandages, we felt sorry for her and hoped that she would recover soon. Lucky enough, this Thursday she returned back to the class in a wheelchair to give us lessons. We were both deeply moved and proud of have such a responsible teacher.
