Yes, I'll describe a time I make a promise to my childhood friend. When I was a child, I'm a shy boy and I don't have another friend for me. So one day I went to park to to hiking and I met a boy, maybe he is same age with me. And he asked me, who are you? and do you like to play with me?

Okay, so the person I would love to share with you today is one of my favorite teacher during the primary school. Her name is Nancy and she used to be the Chinese teacher in my primary school. She was around her 20s and she always dressed up in a really fancy way so she was really popular among the students and also the teachers. And she shined a lot when she smiled. She was a very loving and caring person. So one of the reasons why I was quite fascinated about this teacher was because she was like a mother to me. You know, my family was kind of broken when I was a little boy. My father and my mother got divorced when I was around two and I never felt the...the feeling of having a mom. And after she heard about my story, she really cared me a lot when I was in the class. Like during the lunch break, she would actually brought me back to her office and she would share with me a lot of snacks she loved and she also told me whenever I felt lonely, I could talked with her and that really helped me a lot when I was in the primary school. So I guess that was why I fancied her a lot.
