Teachers are so great
Teachers are good,
They try to teach us as well as they could.
Teachers work all day long,
They try to teach us right from wrong.
Teachers always have little time to rest,
They never feel tired of comforting us whenever we are upset.
Teachers are hard working every day,
They are our friends and they are really great.
