The passage is mainly about a retired teacher in poor health received a thanking letter from one of his students, an accountant working at a medical center, to whom she attributed her success and expressed her gratitude.
What a touching story, which reminds me of my favorite teacher, Jeffrey, who sets a wonderful example for his students to follow through the rest of their lives. And for me, Jeffrey is always a role model to look up to and learn from, whose energetic commitment to work always earns him respect and praise both from his colleagues and students. I feel fortunate to be blessed with such an excellent instructor who didn’t give me up when I failed so many times in English test. Instead, he patiently cultivated my interest in English, gave me timely help with my study, and praised me for my small progress. Little by little, I felt increasingly confident in myself and showed more and more enthusiasm in English learning. At last, I made up my mind to be an English teacher like him.
In my eyes, a teacher should be the wind beneath the wings of students, helping them fly higher and faster. Rather than fill a pail, a teacher should light a fire, inspiring students to develop their mind, character and skills, and empowering them to take control of their lives. In one word, a teacher should be a role model, exerting a far-reaching influence on the development of students.

A retired teacher received many letters from his former students, one of which was read as not only a thank-you note for his inspirational teaching in his mathematical class, but a warm comfort for his poor physical condition.
Reading the passage, I’m touched and link my memory to the most supportive mentor of my own -- Mr. Xu, an experienced Chinese teacher, was in charge of my class in Senior Three. As the senior year is characterized by running a tight schedule on everyday basis, we students were loaded with heavy coursework, frequent quiz and exams, and pressured by our parents’ high expectations. Increasingly, I felt a need to consult with Mr. Xu on reducing the amount of our workload so that we could be given more time to digest what we had learned over the past couple years.
Unlike some of the stern supervisors, Mr. Xu was open-minded and patient enough to allow me to raise the above argument. “Besides the study efficiency,” he added with a friendly simile, “I also concern for your morale and well-being. So don’t you worry; I’ll talk to other teachers and see what we can do to help the class decompress.” Thanks to his approval and consistent support, we systematically adjusted our pacing and stayed upbeat in preparation for the college entrance examination.
A teacher can be influential in either positive or negative ways. In my observation, a good teacher can bring out the best of his students while a bad teacher may, regrettably, affect the young mind in most discouraging manners.
