  1  students like my English teacher. In fact, 2  of them stopped going to class because of her. She has 3  patience if you do not understand something or if you need 4  extra help. If we make 5  mistakes when we answer a question, she gets angry. She gives us 6  time to finish exercises. If we ask her for 7  more time, she usually says no. Sometimes she says, “Okay, okay! Fifteen more minutes.” But 8  minutes later, she says we have no more time. I am learning very 9  in her course. I am glad that I have 10  American friends, so I get 11  practice speaking English with them. I also spend 12  hours on the Snap Language website every week. I am learning a lot there.
