A Portrait of Our English Teacher
“He＇s always in a hurry”----that is what everybody says of our English teacher, Mr. Hong. He gives importance to efficiency① in everything, so his lessons are always arranged full. We cannot afford to be absent-minded, otherwise, his fluent English will go by our ears. How disappointing it would be if we should fail to grasp his valuable and meaningful words!
Learning a foreign language may be uninteresting work, but it becomes interesting in Mr. Hong＇s classroom.
“Why?”you may ask. That is because his lessons are always full of humor and liveliness. He tells us humorous stories and draws funny pictures on the blackboard. He is firmly against just having the students recite the texts mechanically. He wants to improve our abilities in listening, speaking, writing and reading. The results are impressive: Most of us have passed the aural comprehension② examination; we are not afraid to stand in front of the class to make a speech or talk in English; we can even write some compositions and read SSP (Shanghai Students＇ Post ) without difficulty.
Mr. Hong is not only an excellent teacher, but also a hard learner. He has broad knowledge, and has already written and translated a thick pile of essays and books, but he is not satisfied with his achievements. On the contrary, he is studying even harder than we students. He is interested in all kinds of new things and likes to ask questions.“Example is better than precept③”, and we have decided to learn from him his spirit.
Our progress makes Mr. Hong happy, for he regards us as his close friends. His smiling, expecting eyes show that he loves us and wishes us to be useful citizens of our country.
Will his wishes be realized?
Please wait, Mr. Hong. We＇ll give you a satisfactory answer in the future and we also wish you----our dear teacher every success in your work!

【写法指要】
本文是一篇人物精神的动态写照。文章写了洪老师的四种精神：敬业精神、情趣精神、勤奋精神和为人精神。第一段开门见山写洪老师的工作作风，第一句引句中的话是主题句；第二段是过渡段；第三段写洪老师的教学风格，第二句中的“…his lessons are always full of humor and liveliness.”是主题句；第四段写洪老师勤奋刻苦，第一句中的第二分句“…but also a hard learner.”是主题句；第五段写洪老师的为人，“… he regards us as his close friends.”是主题句；第六段又是一个过渡段，与第七段共同构成全文的结尾部分；第七段中的称谓变成第二人称，使结尾具有亲切感。
