A Teacher Entering A Classroom...

I encourage my students to be creative, and to put in emotions into their essay, especially if they write a story. Last week, I held a competition to test their creativity. They were to rewrite this situation 'A teacher entering a classroom..' The winner of the competition put a very creative work indeed (although his grammar was not good enough).

During the exchange of teachers for today’s third lesson, every student’s face in the class was pale. Nobody was laughing or joking like they always did. Everybody was sitting idly at his or her own table, vigorously finishing their uncompleted homework. Some of them were sweating while the others were sitting uneasily on their chairs. The class was very quite like a creepy graveyard.

          Suddenly, they heard the dreaded footsteps, edging closer towards the class door. Everybody became even more scared. Not one of them dared to even look at whoever might be arriving at the door.

          Moments later, the footsteps stopped. Everybody slowly looked up. There stood an unfamiliar face, and it was not the face of whom they had all been thinking about. The class suddenly burst into laughter when they found out that the person standing at the door was not their Additional Mathematic teacher but a relief teacher instead. Some of the students shed their tears happily as though a big burden has been lifted from their shoulders.
