Grandma takes good care of us. She is a really good cook, and her dishes are the best in the world! Dinner at my grandma’s is the happiest time. We all enjoy her wonderful food, and her egg fried rice is my favourite. Wherever I go in the future, I will never forget the taste of her cooking.
A few weeks ago, my grandma got ill. She is in hospital now. We are very worried, and we hope she gets well soon.

My teacher
Mr Li is my maths teacher. He is really smart. He knows how
to keep our attention in class, and his lessons are always
interesting. For example, he likes to show us how to solve real-life problems with maths, and tells us stories about famous mathematicians. Sometimes he even uses fun games in his teaching! That’s why I seldom feel bored in his maths lessons.
Mr Li is strict about our schoolwork, but he gives us lots of support when we need help. If we cannot work out a difficult maths problem, he will encourage us to think about it in a new way. Mr Li often says, “Never give up, and you’ll be successful.” I think he is the best teacher in our school.
