- Romain, did you use to have a favourite teacher? - Yes, my favourite teacher was Mrs Martin. She taught French in my secondary school. - What was she like? - She used to smile all the time and she was kinder and more patient than my other teachers. Everyone loved her! - Did you enjoy her lessons? - I was often bored at school, but Mrs Martin always made her lessons very interesting. And at the end of the year, to reward her students, she would organise a little party for the class!

I'll be right with you...
