My name is Tom White. I go to Clenvel high school in Brighton. I’m in the 9 thform.
John Striter is our history teacher. He has a lot of classes at our school but he is never
tired. He is always helpful, patient and funny. Mr. Striter likes his job very much. He
explains all the lessons simply and clearly. He is about fifty years old. He goes
swimming every day. At the weekends, he plays tennis with his sons.

His wife, Suzan is a Maths teacher at our school. She doesn’t like her job because
the students don’t usually like her subject. Sometimes students don’t like history
either, but I think it’s very interesting. We do a lot of interesting things in the class and Mr. Striter always
helps us. He comes with us to our school trips and he knows a lot about historical places, plants and
animals. I admire him and I like his subject, too.
