A Students Wisdom

My teacher always speaks well of the students. I paid attention to the
teacher. My teacher asked us a question. I was praised for the right
answer. She patted me on the back. She spoke highly of me. She paid me
a high compliment. It felt good to hear words of praise. When I was
praised, I felt proud. She cheered us up by praising us.
