Our art teacher is the
best
(GOOD) teacher in our school. She always encourages us to be
creative
(CREATE) in our lessons. Her lessons are very interesting and
original
(ORIGIN). She gives us problems and puts us in groups to find a solution. She says that this will make us more
imaginative, which will help to make our
paintings
(PAINT) more original. She says that she did the same thing at university and it helped her when she became a
sculptor
(SCULPTURE). Unfortunately for her (but fortunately for us), although she was very
talented
(TALENT), she didn't earn much money from art, so she became a teacher.
