Test 1Never shall I forget the writing class presented to our English teacher today.Yesterday Mr Wang, our English teacher, told us that many other teachers would visit writing class he would present to us. We were looking forward to it. It struck us as a big surprise was that Mr Wang, who was used to be punctual, didn’t appear when the school bell had rung. The teachers sit behind the class were quite puzzled. We were quite worried about him, wondered what might have happened to him. Five minutes late, Mr Wang showed out in front of us!
