Most Chinese people these days know what it is like tohave an “English teacher”, since almost all pupils study English from theirthird year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely ladyin primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father.Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created anEnglish environment by providing me with flashcards，fun English- language toys and even dolls which cansing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened (唤起) when I began to learn English at school. Justimagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English bymyself! I was puzzled and even angry. I could not understand why a father couldbe so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gentlyinsisted that I follow through with his idea. At first, I read stories withtears and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In theend, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was alwaysthere with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got sofar without his support. And that’s why my father is not only my first Englishteacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is one who awoke my interest, and whogave me much confidence .
