Deep down my heart

小编：学习不是沉重的包袱，而是一件快乐的事。在孩子们的世界里，能传授给他们知识能力，又能给他们的学习带来快乐的老师很受欢迎。

Summer is almost around the corner. The memory of those days still haunts me. Recollections have been in unbridled spread.

Last year, I suffered a setback from Zhongkao (The entrance examination before you go to high school). Buried myself in English World, it relieved myself from the sadness. I frequently went to Talking Street (An English Corner), in which I encountered a Spanish guy called Iñaki.

One day, I went for my upper class and welcomed our new teacher Iñaki. OH MY GOD! He’s really a spunky guy, full of passion and vigour. We talked about “Survival”. He created several contexts like “When zombies overwhelmingly came into our city”, what shall we do “Our ship is sinking, there is only one lifeboat, and what will we do”...At last, we chose the first one. It looked like a brainstorm, and we rose up diverse kinds of points. And he helped us to write down on the whiteboard, communication twisted with discussion…

That was the first time that I had realized the fascination of English, from a higher perspective, the unrelenting mystery of language.

As we further our English lesson, we took more and more compelling topics into account. We talked about “Fear”, expanding this main topic into several small points, which are related to “ghost, “nightmare”, “betray” and “farewell” .More seriously, once we continued the topic “War”, which is not as vivid and relaxing as other topics. But Iñaki converted it into imagination. He advised me to take a step further. What we need to learn is to go overboard with the main topic and think it out of the box. Later, I thought the “war” is the embodiment of “art”. Kind of like “survival” ,“grow up” and “modernization” .What’s more, we even talked about prestigious Shakespeare, with his groundbreaking sonnets ,plays ,verses emerging.

 Now I flash back, to be frank, Iñaki is a person who can always state the abstruse theory in a very simple example. I truly admire the way you express opinions on issues. I guess there are some underlying and intangible charms. Likewise, I discovered that there was an ineffable inner-strength burgeoning sneakily in me while I totally focused on Iñaki’s class. I believe the wings of imagination could make things possible. I learned to breathe with my dreams, shaping the eagerness into writing and debating with him. So he is ever a treasured memory for me. The experience will always remain in my memory.

夏季已经结束，关于Iñaki的记忆始终潇洒不去。去年，我经历了一次中考的挫折，把自己深埋在英语的世界帮助我减轻了许多悲伤。那时，我常常去英语角，在那里，我遇到了Iñaki，他是一个充满吸引力和热情的老师。当我们讨论复活节时，我们头脑风暴，讨论“当僵尸来到城市后”的话题，我第一次意识到英语的乐趣。我们在英语课上有许多有趣的话题，当我们谈恐惧时，我们讨论噩梦、灵魂、背叛、告别等；当我们谈战争，我们讨论兵法……他总能把复杂的道理用简单方式教导我们，他的课堂重视充满了想象与可能性。我学会积极思考、用写作释放，有时还会与他争辩。他是我记忆中宝贵的财富。
