Mr. Wang is one of my favorite teacher in middle school. He wants his students understand what they are learning, and not just to learn things in heart. His classes are such interesting that I ’d like to do more research after class. You ’ll stay awake in class just to listen to the way he talks even if the subject doesn’t interest you. Beside, he always made himself available to help students. Every time I go to my office he is there and willing to teach students as many as they want to know. I have been learned many great things from Mr. Wang. He is a truly excellently teacher.
