 Mrs. Shinta is a good looking person. She has sparkle eyes and pointed nose. She is very beautiful with her
wavy black hair. Her body is slim. She is just a bit taller than I am.

 She always smiles to us as we bump into each other in the hallway at school. She seemed very strict the first
time I met her. However, we always have a lot of fun during her classes with her English jokes. She is skillful
at teaching, friendly, patient, easygoing and has great sense of humor. During my study, Mrs. Shinta always
inspires her students. Whenever we are bored by the lesson, she sometimes tells jokes that make all of the
students laugh. Her jokes always excite us. I hope that she will continue teaching us until graduation.

 I am proud of my English teacher. She is a great teacher. Her name is Mrs. Shinta. She is my favorite teacher.
Mrs. Shinta studied in America and returned to Indonesia to be an English teacher.

Pak Dasono is a janitor in our school. He’s a hard worker. He sweeps the yard every morning
and afternoon. He cleans the toilets. I like him because he is friendly, and he knows our names. But
sometimes he’s annoying. He often teases me, and laughs at me in front of my friends. He’s
sometimes fussy too. He tells us not to litter, again and again. He gets mad when we don’t put our
rubbish in the rubbish bin.
