Hi teacher. I'm not sure wether or not you and your brother are like two peas in a pod but you look flattering in this picture. The green suits you and I've noticed you have changed your glasses.

It's been time since I last wrote something about my math teacher here. You know I love her...Well, when it comes to behaving in front of other people, my math teacher is downright clumsy. She's my neighbour (although I'd be better off if she wasn't) and she's often asked over for dinner by my mother. However, I've got no idea why mommy invites her if she's quite acquainted with my teacher's terrible demeanour at the table. It's a hot potato to discuss my mother's acceptance to such a person and therefore I'm not going to press the point. I've already tried the carrot-and-stick approach with my mother saying that I would drop out of school and live with my father if she kept coming round unexpectedly (for me, of course) for dinner...it didn't work. She said that my brother Daniel (I hadn't mentioned him before) loves her, which is enough for a lifetime entrance in my house.My brother and teacher are like two peas in a pod, but not physically. They behave as though two kids at the a nurcery school, completely dim-witted!You could reach the conclusion that I'm fed up with her, she keeps messing me about even without knowing she is sickening! (it continuous...)(the story isn't factual)I don't know why, but I love writing here at 成人快手 learning English, even though I don't do it well. The teacher is really funny, and I've been able to learn lots of wonderful idioms with his video classes. Keep on with the wonderful job; the President's award you won was really deserved!!!

Alex Wang, Canada
I think that schools and universities take advantage of some kind of a carrot and a stick policy. If you learn well, you'll get your name onto some honorable list. If the opposite happens, which means that you fail a course or two, sorry, you'd have to repeat the course or even get kicked out of the door.To some extent, the highly effective mechanism of a carrot and a stick policies should be listed among the greatest human inventions, along with the breathtaking invention of market economy.

Myen, Vietnam
Hello The Teacher! Congratulations on the 2007 Presedent's award! Well, I have a friend who faced a hot potato. She was forced to choose either the parents or the guy she loves. That's a carrot and stick! Anyway, please don't stop the classes.

Agnes, Hungary
My sister has devoted her life to playing music, which may be an honourable thing, however, she ignores everything else in the world so this issue may be called a hot potato in our family since she refuses to change her approach. I can say we are not like two peas in a pod, I prefer having a happy family around instead of sacrifising my life.Of course everyone has to decide for themselves so it would not be fair to condemn my sister for her ideas. I just keep my fingers for her dreams to come true because it is not easy to live the life of a musician. ----Besides, please don't accept the carrot and stick from you boss and continue teaching us idioms:)

Ana Paula, Brazil
