In my school I am taught by many teachers. Each one teaches us a different subject. Although all of them are fairly good, there is one teacher whom I love and admire the most.

Her name is Ms. Paul. She is the most pleasing personality that I have ever come across. She is an ideal teacher. She has all those qualities which a good teacher is expected to have.

Ms. Paul is a science teacher. She loves the subject that she teaches and has an in-depth knowledge of it too. She teaches science almost as though it were a hobby class. She does not adopt the old methods of teaching. In fact we even forget at times that she is teaching us from our text books. Science comes alive in Ms. Paul' class. When she teaches, no one talks about anything but the topic that she discusses.

She has the ability to draw out attention to the subject and also to sustain it. She brings various experiments to the class and demonstrates them thus making it much easier for us to understand what she teaches. She does not merely read from the book but she gives us concrete picture of everything, so that we see everything before us.

Although her subject is science, Ms. Paul has a good knowledge of other subjects also. She is well versed with all the current affairs of the world and she often links what we are studying to something that may have been taught somewhere else in the world. She encourages us to ask questions so that we may be able to understand the subject well. She never loses patience with those students who take long to grasp the subject.

Ms. Paul gives personal attention to all the students. If, by chance, any student tries to play the fool in her class, she is firm and does not allow that to happen. She is a great combination of kindness and strictness. She encourages the students to ask each other and her anything with regard to the subject so that a healthy discussion generates new ideas and increases our curiosity about the subject.

Ms. Paul is very popular, but she is not conceited. She is courteous to her colleges and the principal of the school. I have never seen herfroun or lose her temper. She remains calm even when there is a crisis of any kind. She makes me love going to school. I always look forward to my science period.

Ms. Paul is an ideal teacher and she provides the students with a good role model. I love her the most and hope to be like her one day.
