Class: CM1A
School: SR1
Letter:
I’ll be a teacher to educate pupils. I want to be supported with materials like handbooks and practical courses, so that I can give lessons to pupils like my teacher does when I grow up. My wish is to see schools move towards practical learning instead of theoretical lessons.
