寫作練習
Among all the classes, Mimi loved the writing class the most. Her teacher, Miss Chen, always carefully instructed her students in writing. During every class, the teacher and the students spent a lot of time discussing their ideas about writing skills. When Mimi had difficulty in writing, she always turned to Miss Chen for instruction and support. Inspired by Miss Chen, Mimi practiced writing frequently and thus made steady progress.
After graduation, Mimi followed the literary path that Miss Chen set her on. As time went by, Mimi became a bestselling writer. When promoting her new book, she thought of Miss Chen and how she had changed her life. Had it not been for Miss Chen, Mimi would not have achieved considerable success. Mimi knew that she would never forget this special person and those precious memories.
