Our junior high school life is coming to an end. So my classmates and I decided to make a special1for our own favorite teacher in the ceramics (陶艺)class.

After being dried for a long time in the fire, our gifts for teachers were 2. Chen Hui took them out of the kiln (窑). CRASH (碎裂声)! His cup, Xiao Yao's 3, and my heart broke into pieces all over the floor.

"My elephant lost her trunk (象鼻)!"Xiao Yao shouted." My heart is broken!" I4 almost at the same time.

"I'm so sorry!" Chen Hui said.

"Bring5to the repair station," said Xiao Yao.

"Let's see what we can do with some magic glue." We tried many times, 6 the magic glue worked only on Chen Hui's cup. The trunk and the heart were in too many broken bits to put back together.

"Now my elephant has a short nose instead of a trunk," said Xiao Yao. "It7 like a little dog with big ears. And it's8 lovely! Let's call it doglephant!"

"A cute doglephant! Cool! You just turned the accident into a happy one!" I said. And right then, I knew 9to do. Maybe I could make a mosaic (镶嵌画)by using the pieces of my broken heart.

When it was all done, everyone thought it was pretty cool. Yes, my present didn't turn out the way I'd planned, but it turned out even 10!

If you're having a hard time getting along with your new teacher, going to class can be a bad time. But if you really want to get good grades, what should you do? Here are some suggestions for you.

Talk to your teacher. A short discussion can clear up the clouds between two persons. Always be polite and show admiration. Express yourself bravely and show the ideas from your heart.

Ask your teacher how you can do well in class.

Teachers have years of education and experience in the subjects they teach. Learning more about this fact helps make a good relationship between you and your teacher.

Discussing the best ways to succeed in class shows your teacher you care about the class.

Learn to understand his teaching method. Sometimes, the reason why you don't like your teacher is the way he runs the classroom. If you're used to a very relaxing class, learning to develop in a strict environment is difficult. In fact, giving yourself time to accept this new style of teaching is possible.

Take part in activities with your teacher. Studies show that teachers would like to pay attention to you, if they feel you have something in common. Joining a club or taking part in other activities with your teacher creates common ground between you. And it makes you get on better with him in class more easily.
