2、ly has great achievements in her work, but also can cook delicious food for my dad and me. Furthermore, since she is well-educated, she can tolerate different opinions from varied people.

3、 saves the money and donates all of them to the people who may need them. The ways she does and thinks make me want to be the person like she is.

4、ave the following personalities. First of all, a good teacher makes herself available to all students and she knows which students need extra assistance. Furthermore, a good teacher is an effective communicator, who knows when she needs to change her communicating techniques to be sure students can

5、grasp instructional concepts. What is more, she would show her great ability when her students are making mistakes, she would let them know why they are wrong and how they are going to do to correct them, rather than simply punish them.

FriendsA good friend should have the following personalities like trustworthy, helpful and positive. First of all, a

7、trustworthy person is someone whom I can rely on especially when I am in difficulty; he/she will be just a phone-call away to get me out of trouble.

9、me those dark days with the encouragement she had given to me. Last, a good friend is someone who is positive.
