Some people can’t look after and robots can help them. For example, some people can’t see, and they use dogs themselves move around. This kind of dog is called a guide dog (导盲犬).

As a teenager, I am often asked what I am going to be in the future. A lawyer? A doctor? Or a scientist? No, my ideal career is to be a teacher. One of the for that is I want to be a teacher like Mr. Chen.
“Look! Do you know what it is? A-ha, it’s the ! And it will always move around the sun.” Mr. Chen said and pointed to his head. He then touched the nose and , “Can you tell me the name of this mountain? It is the highest mountain on Earth! What’s the of it? Yes, it’s 8844.43 metres…” I’ll never forget my first geography lesson. He was humorous that we all fell in love with his lessons . It’s Mr. Chen who opened the door of geography for us.
Generally speaking, most of the teachers are strict students and sometimes a little bit demanding（苛求的）, not so with Mr. Chen. He is a lighthouse, showing us the way to the treasure of knowledge. He is a friend and easy to get with, always encouraging us to speak out loud without our shyness and other disadvantages. He is an example, volunteering his time to students and other teachers.
One day I happened to meet him in the hospital. Seeing the cut on his arm, I realized he was donating his . I was moved and was another lesson, a lesson of love and devotion.
Every time I see my globe（地球仪）, it would me of Mr. Chen. He is the most unforgettable teacher I have met and he will always be. Someday I hope I am to be a teacher like him.
Thank you, Mr Chen, thank you for making learning not a job but a joy.
Thank you for helping me to discover what I do best and to do it even Thank you for understanding all of us and giving us the time and care each of us needs.

Murrayhad never been to . At the age of fourteen, he left his villageschool inScotlandand taught himself while working in bank. he became a great teacher. After Oxfordgave him the job.Murrayhad a small house inhis garden to do the work. Every morning,Murraygot out of bed at five o’clock and inthe small house several hours before breakfast. Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years but after five year, he was adding（增加）words for the letter “A”! He worked on the dictionary he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished the dictionary.
