Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history Many people would think of Confucius（孔子）,whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect（尊重）him for his contribution（贡献）to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled（困惑的）. All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.

How reading improves my English
Reading plays an important role in my English learning.
Firstly, I find that my spoken English has greatly improved through reading. It gives me confidence when I talk in English. Secondly, reading helps make writing easier for me. When I do English reading, it reminds me how words are spelled correctly. So I make fewer and fewer mistakes in my English writing. Thirdly, reading develops my thinking ability. What I’ve read makes me open-minded and enables me to think more. What’s more, reading helps me develop a good habit of learning English.
In a word, reading brings me not only much joy but also great interest in English learning.
