The clever teacher
In the beginning of 2007, when I started to study at Leonardo da Vinci, I was meeting my new teachers. The first days were normal, for I had met only ordinary types of teachers. But when I had my first history class, I knew not all of them were that way. Alessandro was a really different kind of teacher, who’d make history even more than interesting.
As the classes went by, and as my grades were always high, I knew his method really worked. Everybody in the classroom had their grades increased. People used to call him Chokito, what I don’t know why, once he didn’t have pimples. To everything he taught there were some laughs, for he was really fun. He used to tell us things about when he was studying history and about situations he lived as a lawyer, a job he also had, but in the afternoon. I just don’t know how he could ever make every simple thing in history interesting and fun.
He would always help us with our doubts, and during revision classes he wouldn’t tell his jokes, what really worked and made the test a success to everyone. Regardless he was funny, he took learning very seriously. To help us learn some processes in history, he’d dress like the Pope to teach us the Protestant Reformation or like the French King, Louis XVI, to teach us the French Revolution.
I take Alessandro as the best teacher I've ever had for all these reasons. For being creative and shrewd enough to help us get good grades whereas having fun during his classes.

By the way,
About your question related to toward and towards, I found out it is just a difference between American and British English http://tenser.typepad.com/tenser_said_the_tensor/2004/05/toward_and_towa.html

Hi Caetano,
It is correct. It can be used as a noun. I really knew it was a noun. I guess was the default "laughter" on my mind that prompt the correction.
See you

Caetano comp 4 frst drft.docHello Caetano,
What a great history teacher you have. I also had a wonderful history teacher. Her name was Maria Aparecida and she made me love history and until today I think that history is a wonderful thing to study. If I had not become an English teacher, I would have certainly become a history teacher. Please check my notes for correction.
