Mi profesora favorita
Querido diario:
Ya sabes que hay muchos profesores simpáticos en el colegio, pero la semana pasada decidí cual es la profesora que me gusta más.
No es guapa, lleva gafas, es muy delgada, pero es una profesora excelente. Le encanta la música y explica la teoría con calma. Tiene mucha paciencia y no le da rabia cuando un estudiante no comprende todo y entiende que sus alumnos necesitan mucha ayuda. Sus clases son siempre interesantes. Sonríe frecuentemente y es una persona que nos comprende.
Pero cuando la clase es muy ruidosa o cuando alguien no se comporta bien o no hace sus deberes, la señora es menos amable y se pone seria.
Por eso, siempre hago los deberes que nos da.
Hasta la próxima.
