A teacher from Ghana has received worldwide praise after people saw a photo showing him teaching students how to use Microsoft Word on a blackboard.
Richard Appiah Akoto teaches computer classes at a middle school in rural Ghana. However, there are no computers at school. To solve the problem, Akoto tries to draw computer screenshots (屏幕截图) onto the blackboard with colored chalks.
He spends about 30 minutes making these drawings. He draws every detail and feature (特征) of the software, including all the tools and the scroll bars (滚动条). To_make_room_for_the_next_class,_these_drawings_will_be_cleaned_when_the_computer_class_is_over. Therefore, Akoto has to draw new screenshots every time.
Akoto has taught computer class for six years and this is not the first time he has taught his students with drawings on the blackboard. He has taught his students how to turn on and off a computer and create a folder (文件夹) in the same way.
Akoto was happy when one of his students got an “A” in the national exam on computer skills last year. He says he loves his students, and this is why he needs to do everything that will make them understand what he is teaching.

I thought that “I” was right and “he” was wrong—and he thought that “I” was wrong and “he” was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson.
She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. There was a large round object on her desk. It was black. But when she asked the boy, he answered, “White.”
I couldn't believe it! Another argument started, this time about the color of the object.
