monica, milly and mary were our student teachers. last term they came to our school to practise teaching. they have been away from us for a long time. i miss them very much.

　　i still remember the days when they were in our school. the first day they came into our classroom with a smile and introduced themselves to us. they came from guangxi teachers' college. they major in① english, but also study japanese. they each would give us one month's english lessons; i felt very happy for it.the lessons they taught us were as lovely and interesting as my english teacher's. i was always absorbed in②their lessons. i listened to them carefully with great pleasure. happily for me, they often asked me some questions in every class. i always tried my best to answer them. they were satisfied with my answers. i was very glad. from then on, i became more interested in english and studied harder than ever.

　　after class, they often taught us english songs. they were not only strict in our studies but also strict with us. we looked on them as our elder sisters and respected them. they encouraged me to study every subject harder, especially english so that i could become a college student like them one day. they gave me a great deal of good advice on how to learn english well.

　　time passed quickly and a month went by before we knew it. they had to leave us, and i felt very sad for it. before they left, we had some photos taken with them, as a memento③. i am sure i will meet them again one day.
