We have created a lot of memories in his class. He is one of the greatest teachers we have ever got in our life. He taught us English grammar in a very simple and practical way. We can never forget the rules and examples he used during teaching us important grammar chapters. Besides that he used to describe detail stories behind any story or novel included in our syllabus. We are completely grateful to get the chance of learning English language from him. It was indeed a sorrowful day for all of us. We are no longer get the classes of our respectable teacher. We wanted to make that day memorable for him and all of us. We performed singing and dancing to create some colourful event. We decorated the hall room with all our pictures along with sir for making it special. All students gave some gifts for sir as per their interests. We bought some cake and a picture framed to give him as memory. We were fed well with delicious dishes and sweets from our teacher’s side. He blessed us all to be honest and hardworking in every sphere of life. He taught s there is no short cut of hard work so we should be focused on our goals with it. We were totally inspired and emotional at the same time by the words of our great teacher.
