Hank is a good teacher because

he makes me laugh.


There are many teachers in Swell, and they all have different teaching styles.  One teacher stands out, and his name is Hank.  Hank is a good teacher because he speaks slowly, he knows where to find the answers, and he makes me laugh.

Some teachers may know all the ways to help a student learn, but they speak too quickly for students to understand.  On the other hand, Hank speaks at a speed that students can understand, and he checks their understanding by watching their faces when he talks.  He slowly says things in several different ways to make sure that he is clear.  He says, "Open your book to page 23," and "Turn to page 23," so that everyone can follow along in class with his slow voice.

Hank has a lot of experience teaching English, but sometimes he does not know all the answers.  However, he knows where to find the answers: researching on the internet, looking in textbooks, and asking a co-worker. Because Hank can find the answers for me, I feel comfortable asking him all types of questions.

Hank also makes me laugh.  This is a very important thing for a teacher to do because sometimes studying is not fun.  Noun clauses don't usually make me smile, but when Hank explains them I laugh a lot so I'm able to pay attention for a long time.  Sometimes his jokes are stupid, but overall they are probably his best feature.

We can learn something from everyone, but we can learn so much more from a great teacher.  A teacher like Hank has special skills, as explained above, that make him special.  Because of these reasons, Hank is a good teacher.
