SUSANNA SMILES J  by Susanna Ng

Hello, members of Oasis! I’m a new member of the club and I’d like to introduce myself to you here. The title of my article is ‘Susanna Smiles’. Yes, I’m going to tell you why this person, Susanna, always smiles.

Susanna loves English very much. Ever since she was a teenager, she was told that English was going to be very important in her future life. She loved the articulation of the English sounds, especially listening to people from the BBC. So she listened to the BBC world news as early as she was in Form Four and Form Five. Of course she wouldn’t understand a lot of the content. But when she picked up a piece of news she understood she smiled.

In her career as an English teacher, she always smiles too. But behind her smiles, every morning she wakes with a tired face. (Nowadays, almost everyone has heard about how difficult a teacher’s life can be.)  You know what she does to make herself look better. She puts on make-up. It works magic. She looks refreshed and confident again. Then she looks into the mirror and she smiles.

The third thing that makes her smile is listening to intelligent and witty people speak. Very often these people either open up your mind to a higher level of thinking or they entertain you with their humorous jokes. Whenever Susanne luxuriates in this marvellous feeling, she gives a sigh of deep satisfaction and she smiles.

Susanna loves to listen. Beautiful songs, music, poems or humorous speeches are all wonderful food to her ears. She always laughs heartily whenever she’s treated to a feast of such food. And when she remembers all these fantastic things, she smiles.

Being an English teacher, she loves to teach young people how to enunciate English words clearly and carefully. She believes that young people are easier to mode. Sometimes she plays with the sounds she is going to teach and her students are often tickled pink. Whenever her students can pronounce a difficult word correctly, she smiles.

Last but not least, Susanna smiles when she goes shopping. She loves shopping for all sorts of things, clothes, shoes, earrings, necklaces etc. When she tries these things on one by one, she smiles! If they are the ones which she thinks are meant for her, she’ll welcome them home with BIG SMILES!!!

Members of Oasis, now that you’ve learnt more about Susanna, would you like to join her in some of her favourite activities? Do you like singing or going to concerts? How about shopping?
