10. the→a，泛指。

五、课堂练习

Dear Sir or Madam，

Knowing that our school is selecting some outstanding teachers as Star Teachers， Im writing to recommend my English teacher Mr. Chen.

Compared with other teachers， Mr. Chen is the one who impresses me most. Now Id like to say some details. First and foremost， theres no doubt that he has taught English for 10 years， during which he has been awarded the title of a model teacher for many times and once won the first prize in the teachersspeech contest. Additionally， its obvious that he can always make his lessons lively and interesting. Needless to say， he is not only our good teacher but also our good friend because he is kind to us and is always ready to help us. Last but not least， as a teacher， Mr. Chen encourages us to think by ourselves whenever he puts forward questions instead of giving.

I would appreciate it if you could accept my recommendation.

Yours Sincerely，

Li Hua
