"The best teacher I've ever had" sample writings

I've decided to publish some of the best pieces of writing from my three groups here so everybody can read them and learn from them. From the entry tests, I've chosen these three. I hope you like them!

 

Last June, in my speaking exam, I spoke about my best teacher. She was my mother and my maths teacher too. Now, I’m going to tell you about another teacher who worked very hard with me in the music school. She was my guitar teacher and she played the guitar like an angel, but now, she can’t play because her ill hands are slow, so now she’s sad.

When I was a child I wanted to be like her, tall and elegant with long fingers, and to play the guitar in concerts.

The best teacher I have ever had was called José Martínez. He had a long, white, curly beard, round blue eyes, a big nose, a small mouth and a pair of two very small ears.

He used to be always friendly, open-minded and kind to the children, their parents and teachers outside and inside the school.

My favourite teacher taught Mathematics to the children who were in their seventh and eighth years at the ages of thirteen and fourteen years old at the San Juan de las Águilas primary school.

Besides, I liked his classes very much because he explained the theory and practical exercises in a very logical, easy and simple way. Therefore, everybody could understand it.

Finally, I remember that I never spoke or interrupted his classes during his explanations. I would stare at the blackboard and write down all that he wrote for fifty minutes three times a week.

Mrs Leiva has been my best teacher. She was twenty-nine years old when I met her at secondary school. She was very tall and very thin. She had black hair and brown eyes. She was always happy and very optimistic with us. We got on with her very well.

Mrs Leiva taught us History and Geography. I learnt a lot with this teacher. She told us many stories about the Moorish pirates because she loved them. In her classes, we watched films and played games. We went out and took photos too. I had a good time!
