This morning, Li Lin and I went to see Mr. Wang, he used to be our English teacher.
On arriving at Mr. Wang’s, we presented our gifts to him, which he liked them very much. He talked about some interested things and persons he remembered. When he began to teach us, I was quite poor with English. Learned about this, Mr. Wang offered lots of help to me. Without his help, I wouldn’t have made so rapid progress. Mr. Wang is retired now. He leads active life and does some voluntary works. Before we leave, he impressed upon us the importance of knowledge and inspired us to study hardly. We wished him a happy life forever.
