Story

Two years ago, a young enthusiastic Chinese teacher was put in charge of our class. He was a talented teacher because he had his special ways of teaching a lesson. He always started the class with a song version of the poems he wrote while playing his guitar. The word he used in his poem were amazingly beautiful, and made me feel an appreciation for the art. Since then I was inspired to write poems of my own. I began to search for materials and literature about poems. The teacher and I discussed a lot about the way to write poems as well as the reason of why we write them. Under his guidance, I started to write the poem about beautiful scenes I saw. Soon after, I changed my method to a more emotional style of poetry. I really enjoy the moment that I could actually express my feelings in a more fluent and graceful way especially when searching for the right words. I really appreciate my Chinese teacher’s encouragement in language and inspiring me in write both poetry and literature. But after teaching us for one year, he went back to his hometown.
