a good teacher is like a shining star to students. miss li, my senior high school english teacher, is a shining star in my life.when i began my senior high school years, i had difficulty in learning english. i dared not speak english aloud in public because of my poor pronunciation and intonation. i could not get high marks and my grammar was not right at all. frustrated and afraid of being laughed at, i never put up my hand to answer questions in english class. when miss li found out my situation, she encouraged me and lent me a hand. she patiently taught me english grammar, helped me understand how to write a good sentence,and lent me many english books and magazines, which rapidly improved my english. with her help, i became interested in english and eventually got high marks.

　　miss li, like a shining star, shines in my path of success.
