5.1. Who he/she is;
Well, when I was in primary school, art class was always my favorite. So the art teacher, Mrs. Li, really left a mark/impression on me.
5.2. How you knew him/her;
In my eyes she was like a superhero. She could(can past） do anything! I still remember clear as day that she taught[tɔːt] us to make paper cuttings. I have to say she’s pretty skilled in paper-cutting. I remember that during one class, she took just a few minutes to cut two butterflies. It seemed like she had magic hands. But I couldn’t keep up with her at all.
5.3. Why he/she impressed you most
My fingers were clumsy [ˈklʌmzi] and I could never cut the papers well. But Mrs. Li didn’t look down on me. She personally came to my side and helped me fold[fəʊld] a piece of paper in half several times. Then she asked me to draw an image on it and cut it along the lines. When I unfolded the paper, it really looked like a butterfly. I remember I was over the moon and thanked her a lot.
over the moon: 我记得我欣喜若狂
5.4. explain how you feel about him/herÍ
Actually I learned many art skills from Mrs. Li. She was patient and kind to every student and was always smiling, so I was very fond[fɒnd] of her. After so many years, my memory of primary school is fading [ˈfeɪdɪŋ] , but I still remember tons of moments from art class and with Mrs. Li clearly. I really miss those days in primary school. It was the happiest and most carefree period of my life.

I’d like to talk about the one particular walk I had with my best friend a year ago. It had been a very tough day for me, working on weekends and to top it, the work was a bit bizarre [bɪˈzɑː®] . I was about to crash when Molly called me up for a walk.
I remember running from my work desk and out to the office gate as if I had found my freedom. We initially thought of going for a 15-minute walk, but I came back after around one hour.
We were ambling talking about the unnecessary things, discussing each other and having a beautiful time. It was late in the evening and the winds were blowing beautifully.
4.2 where (office area)
We had burger first then tea followed by corn and then ice cream. There was not much distance that we covered, we were around 500 meters from the office area, but we took many rounds of the same place, and it was amazing.
