Describing a celebration: Teachers’ Day
Every year, on November 20th, all schools throughout our country celebrate Teachers’ Day. It is a good time for students to show their love, respect and gratitude towards their teachers. On the morning of November 20th, all students are at school to attend the celebration and enjoy the music show played by our school band and other students. After that we give our teachers beautiful flowers, cards and best wishes. We also pay a visit to our former teachers in the afternoon.
I enjoy Teachers’ Day because it is on that day that we can show our gratitude towards our teachers.
