Read the text below. Mr. Singh is a fifth-grade Literacy teacher. He enjoys teaching children to read graphic organisers and writes very interesting stories which he calls narrative essay. He is always very calm when he has a stick of chalk in the palm of his hand, and when he talks, everyone listens. He always tells us if we work hard we can be anything we want to be. We have children in our class who would like to be engineer, nurse, doctor, chef and many other occupations. Mr. Singh enjoys watching wrestling in his free time. He enjoys hearing the sound of the referee’s whistle. Last Christmas we thought we should surprise him, so we presented him with a brush with yellow bristles and prepared a meal of salmon for him.
