Our teacher, Miss Chua, is nearing retirement. However she still commands our great 　36　 　for being an excellent teacher.

She has short hair that is gradually 　37　 　white, an indication that age is creeping on her. The wrinkles that line her face 　38　 　of years of hard work and selfless devotion to her students. She wears a pair of glasses through which her kind eyes are always 　39　 　fixed upon us with affection and consideration. She looks splendid in her 　40　 　clothes which she will not throw away for something more 　41　 , reflecting a thrifty(节俭的)nature. Through her, we have learned to be more careful with 　42　 . Not only that, she has also taught us the 　43　 　of filial piety(孝道)by setting us a good 　44　 　of looking after her eighty-five year old mother.

All her life, she has never 　45　 　her duty towards her family, and her students. For much of her life, she has been working hard, displaying a 　46　 　of discipline(自制力) which she is presently 　47　 　to fix in our mind. As her parents couldn’t afford to 　48　 　her to university, she saved hard and managed to graduate 　49　 　a master degree from a British university. This is an inspiration to us --- that absolute 　50　 　leads to eventual fulfillment of dreams.

The day Miss Chua 　54　 　school and retires, I’ll send her a thousand of flowers with the message “You’ve 　55　 　us well.” I will never forget her. She has made a great impact on my life and on my English.
