And it always reminds me that being a good teacher
20
62100

01:05
means not only how and what you teach, but also,
21
65700

01:08
how you build relationships.

This wall is a symbol of freedom of speech,
25
93569

01:36
peace, and creativity.

01:38
It reminds me of my studies in Bristol,
27
98549

33
119640

02:04
Just like in dance, you learnt the steps to dance freely,
34

35
128069

and pronunciation for you to feel free when using English,
36

When I was a kid, my language teacher told me that I didn’t
40
149669
4081
02:33
have a talent for languages and I wouldn’t improve much.

I hear many students saying the same about themselves.
42
157620

02:41
Well, I believe you can.

This bus is a nice example that everything is possible,
44
166800

if you work on it.
