Describe a person who encouraged and helped you to achieve a goal

You should say:

Who this person is

What this person encouraged you to do

How this person has helped you

And explain why their encouragement helped you achieve the goal

我的高中英语老师是鼓励过我的一个人。她发现我在学英语上的天赋，鼓励我发挥天赋，努力提升英语成绩。她通过在我的作业上留评语，单独找我聊天鼓励我。通过她的鼓励我找到了学习的信心，最后取得较好的高考成绩。

Speaking of a person who encouraged me and helped me to achieve a goal, I am reminded of myEnglish teacher, Ms. Wang, without whom (没有了他/她) I would never have made it to university.Ms. Wang was an experienced, gentle and easygoing teacher in her thirties, who was well knownamong her students because her classes were never short of (从来不缺少) laughter and joy.

However, no matter how interesting the classes were, I was once a very naughty student, reluctant to(不愿意) follow teachers’ instructions and listen to classes. Needless to say, I was among the worst students in most of the teachers’ eyes, but not in Ms. Wang’s. During our interactions, Ms.Wang somehow discovered that I had a special interest in letters and was actually quite talented in language acquisition, but it was my unwillingness to concentrate on studies that(强调句，正是…) prevented me from making progress. Therefore, she began to put more attention on me, trying toencourage me by leaving positive messages on my notebook, in which she wrote: you are better andtalented than you think you are, so please work hard and make me proud. She also began to havesome private conversations with me after classes, encouraging me to make full use of my talent toachieve better grades. Touched by her encouragement and kindness, I eventually found myconfidence and began to concentrate on my studies. Thanks to her encouragement, Iwas able to discover my gift in language learning and achieve outstanding grades, enabling me toenter higher education.

常见提问：

Who do you think has the greater influence on the goal-setting of children? Teachers or parents?

To be fair, I think teachers play a more important role here, on the goal-setting of children. The truth is, Chinese kids nowadays spend way more hours at school than at home, that is, if we regard sleeping as 'not effectively at home', cuz they do not interact with their parents at all during sleep, do they? Given that they spend so long time with their teachers in classes, they are significantly influenced by their teachers' behaviour and words, especially development-wise.

1. 2.What will encourage children to learn more?

I think the answer to this question is quite certain. Cuz if we really wanna ENCOURAGE children to learn, the best way would be to find their interests. Many people say 'Interest is the best teacher', yet they never actually carry out the words. From what I see in China, most parents make, or shall we say, push, their children into learning piano, Sinology or robotics, and justify these all in the name of 'better future'. You see, the way I see it, they should try their best to find the kids' natural interests and talents, then cultivate those with proper guidance they can find.

3. Why is it important for teenagers to set goals?

Um… Let's just say, goals are actually the source of one's motivation. Without goals, one would not be able to find the direction in which they should proceed. Teenagers are too young to lose their way, so they must try to set proper goals. With achievable short-term goals, they would be able to enjoy the success once they meet them, and they'd also need a larger, long-term goal.

4. Do parents and teachers punish children physically nowadays?

Well, in fact, I believe this kind of phenomena still exists in some places, especially in rural areas in our country. You see, we did have a saying in China like 'Strict teachers make smart students.' or 'Beating makes a decent kid', which are implying that students, or kids, can be legitimately punished in physical ways. Now, with the development of educational theory and civilisation, physical punishments are basically stamped out in the cities. But in some remote areas, news still shows that there are such behaviours.
