“My Favorite Teacher” is a nonfiction story
which written by Thomas L. Friedman. This story talks about Friedman’s favorite
teacher who named Hattie M. Steinberg. In the beginning of the article,
Friedman was thought of his most important person by the annual review on New York Times Magazine. Steinberg was
Friedman’s high school journalism teacher. He took her course—Intro to
Journalism in 10th grade. Friedman thought she was good because of
her belief. Steinberg believed that “the secret for success in life was getting
the fundamentals right.”Steinberg taught her student how to make a
high quality work quickly. In addition, the author also took her class in the
11th grade. In this time, Friedman became a business manager to
selling ad to the local pizza parlors. Later, he became one of Steinberg’s
friends. After she died, the author and his friends were all think of her.
Furthermore, Judy Harrington sent Friedman a pile of his stories written by
Steinberg. For instance, Friedman could think of Steinberg and her classes a
lot this year. The reason is that Steinberg’s belief—fundamentals of reading,
writing and arithmetic, church and so on was the real secret of success in the
information age. Friedman said Steinberg’s belief cannot be downloaded from the
Internet and only can upload in the normal classes. At last, the author regretted
he did not write his teacher when she was alive.
I really like the transition words you use in the summary. It makes the organization looks better.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what kind of society you in, fundamental is the basic and important points for the success. why Hattie became success and why all of the students, who taught by Hattie were all success, i think it cant without Hattie's belief. Hattie was the most serious teacher I have never seem before. i can not imagine how she is, can make all of the students that taught by her admired her. i think Hattie had become the most important part in these students life.
