Dear Mrs Beattie,
I was so afraid the first time I met you. It was not just that you were really fat and shouted so loudly. Everything about you was scary. All the teachers were afraid of you too. But you were very kind. You would shout at us if we’d done something wrong in someone else’s lesson, and then you would go to apologize to that teacher for what we had done.
Do you remember how you made me draw and paint that photograph of the tennis player Nastase? It was too bad at first but in the end I was so proud of it. You could even see the veins (血管) in his legs. "Mind over matter," you said, or something like that — and you were right.
There was a time when I did really well in everything but Geography, and you said, "Simon has done quite well this year, but I was only let down by his Geography where he didn’t work hard enough." I said I had worked hard but was too weak at it, and asked if you would change my report. You rewrote it, saying, ”Simon has done quite well except for Geography, which he’s not very good at. "Thanks, Mrs Beattie. Hope you’re still teaching there.
Lots of love,
Simon Smith
