Title: The most important person in my life

Introduction

"What is a teacher? It is not someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student in order to discover what they already know”. Could we ever imagine a teacher who never feels disappointed and always sharing the knowledge with students, without any complaint? Today, I'm going to talk about the most important person in my life, Puan Tan Hui Ling, my Mathematics teacher. I will start by describing my first impression to my teacher, how she influences me and finally what lesson I had learned from her.

Title: The most important person in my life

Before I start to present, I would like to ask who is the most important person in your life? It is means the first person that come across your mind. Is it your parent, maybe sibling, grandparent or friends? But, the most important person in my life is my teacher. It sounds weird, right? Yes, it is truth. Why am I said like this? This is because she is the one who guided me to a proper way to study and gradually influence my life. Before I move on, I believe that we may think that teacher is kind, friendly. But, in real life, we encounter many this type of teacher, they look very scary, even make us want to escape from the classroom, agree with me? Yes, I know that this is really familiar with us. So, I am standing here today to share with you all the most important person in my life, Puan Tan Hui Ling, my Mathematics teacher. I will start by describing first impression to my teacher, how she influences me and finally what lesson I had learned from her.

When I was small, I had great difficulty in school because of Mathematics. From Standard One to Standard Five, I often failed my Mathematics tests. I have no idea to handle Mathematics.Fortunately for me, Puan Tan Hui Ling was my Mathematics teacher in Standard Six. I will never forget her. I still remember the first day Puan Tan walked into my classroom. She was tall and slim. She wore a bright green scarf on her head and a dark green baju kurung. She looked strict and did not smile at all. After introducing herself to the class, she announced that she was giving us a Mathematics test. My heart leapt into my mouth. I knew I was in trouble. As I expected, the questions were terribly hard. I did not answer half the questions.

The next day, Puan Tan returned the test papers to us. I had scored only 20 percent. She told me to see her after the class. For once, I dreaded the end of class. When I was alone with Puan Tan, she asked me if I wanted me to improve my Mathematics. I nodded miserably. She coached me after school. She gave me tons of exercises for practice. She always teaches me patiently vigorously and never shows her tiredness in teaching. She teaches us Mathematics with high-knowledgeable information and experiences.  I never see she opens her book during her teaching. It seems like all the information is in her head, and she delivers the information to my class confidently. Puan Tan made me work hard.

She is a great combination of kindness and strictness. If any student tries to play the fool in her class, she is firm and does not allow that to happen.

Besides, she also strict about hand in our homework. She said that homework is very important as to test our effort in understanding a topic that has just been taught in the class. Her teaching method likes a rope that pulls me out of my laziness, slowly I become a hardworking and exuberant towards learning Mathematics. Gradually, I improved. I began to pass my tests. In the end, I scored A in the final exam. The lesson has stayed with me even now. I promise to be a wiser person for the sake of a great person.

Let me conclude my presentation, Puan Tan Hui Ling is the most important person in my life that I could not forget. I would never forget the first impression to Puan Tan, the ways she influenced to make myself love in Mathematics and how she trained me to become a Mathematics lover. Puan Tan is a teacher who is willing to sacrifice herself for my life and my future. She showed me that if I am determined enough, I will achieve whatever I want. Today, whenever I face difficulties, I will remind myself that I will never give up. Thank you, Puan Tan.
