Let me tell you about my Chinese teacher in high school. His name is Mister Li, and he is one of the smartest people I have ever talked to．He is now in his late fifties, and he has taught Chinese as well as History for many years．I graduated last year, but I still keep in touch with him.
First of all, Mister Li is extremely knowledgeable. He loves reading, and he has read every single classic from Chinese as well as foreign literature. When he taught us, he always made references to different authors．He was able to cite and use many famous philosophers and poets to illustrate his ideas. As a result, his class was always lively and fascinating.
Mister Li got a Master's degree from Tsinghua, a prestigious university in Beijing．This is a school for the Chinese elite. Only the top-notch students can get into this university. I know this because my classmates and I asked him about his educational background once after class．Otherwise, he would not brag about it. Although he is very bright, he's a very modest（＝ humble) person.
Mister Li also told us that he used to be a member of Tsinghua' s debate team, and he competed against many other universities from all around the country. Apparently his team won many prizes and competitions. He can think and react very fast. He's so quick-minded.
In addition，he just finished writing a book on education. I haven't read it yet, but I think I will during the holiday. He's a very intelligent person, so his writing style must be very elegant. In class, Mister Li always asked us to think for ourselves．He always wanted to hear our opinion. He shared a lot of stories with us, but he always tried to make things as simple as possible for students to understand clearly. You know, in China, we recite a lot of things, but we don't always understand them, especially with old Chinese literature. But I remember he told us many times that it was meaningless to learn something by heart if we could not use it again.
