TEACHER'S DAY
One day
every year, we celebrate Teachers' Day in honor of the teachers who spend so
much time teaching us so many things. This year, Teachers' Day began with a
school assembly in the hall where the headmaster delivered a speech. After that
we adjourned to our classes, not to have lessons, but to enjoy ourselves.
My classmates gave a small party
for the teachers who taught us. Each of us contributed a small sum of money to
buy cakes, drinks and other titbits. On that day we arranged the chairs and
desks so that they surrounded an empty space in the middle of the classroom.
So began a round of eating,
drinking and playing games with the teachers. Most of the teachers were very
sporting and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was so different from having
lessons.
The other classes gave parties
too. So, the teachers had to move from class to class and participate in the
fun. I would think that this was quite tiring on the part of the teachers but
they managed it. After all it was their day to enjoy and have fun.
One class even gave a short play
for their teachers. I did not get to watch it as I was busy tidying up the
classroom after the party.
All in all, it was a great day.
The whole school was immersed in an atmosphere of gaiety. So when the school
bell rang for dismissal I felt a little sad that it should end, but end it
must. The day was over and we went home tired but happy.
