It’s my honor     1     (recommend) Educator of the Year, a teacher     2     is a master in teaching and also sets a good example for students. She is Ms. Sulliva, who makes a difference to her students.

First of all, she has great passion for her work. She teaches many different classes — Language Arts Enrichment, Writing for Publication and Reader’s Theater. Ms. Sullivan is also responsible     3     directing the school play. Every year she makes great efforts to put on an     4     (amaze) school play. I     5     (play) an important role in the performance last year and I enjoyed it so much!

In addition, Ms. Sullivan always tries to make     6     (she) classes interesting and lively. In writing classes, she makes us have a group discussion first, which is a good way to develop our creative     7     (idea). Then she lets us write our stories     8     (free) at our own speed. After checking what we write, she always gives us     9     honest opinion about it. By     10     (follow) her advice, we are getting more confident in writing a composition.

In conclusion, I think Ms. Sullivan should be Educator of the Year. She deserves our respect and love.

9 . Everything to Know About Beijing

Beijing has much to offer: everything from culture, art and nature to night life, food and shopping.

When to Go

Beijing usually sees cold winters and hot summers. Spring and autumn, however, are quite comfortable and dry. April through May and September through October are considered the best months to visit, but try to avoid the first week of October, as it marks the national holiday celebrating the founding of the People’s Republic of China, causing famous sites to be overly crowded.

Souvenir (纪念品) to Take Home

To shop for something different, head over to Panjiayuan Flea Market, where shops sell kinds of second-hand paintings, statues, and souvenirs — some mass-produced (大批量生产的) and some perhaps of real value. The best time for a visit is on weekends during early morning.

Travel Tips

Avoid Beijing’s traffic jams and save your valuable time by taking the subway. The Beijing subway is cheap and easy to use even for foreigners, although rush hour can get much crowded. China is also advanced in bike sharing. As biking is one of the best and fastest ways of getting around in Beijing, most hotels do offer bikes to their guests.

Worthy(值得...的)View

For a special view of the Forbidden City, head over to Jingshan Park across the street from the north entrance (入口) to the Palace Museum. Climb to the top of the hill and you’ll find yourself on the highest point in central Beijing with an impressive view of the Forbidden City.
