"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve (使专心于) me and I learn." American scientist
and politician (政治家) Benjamin Franklin spoke these words in praise of teachers everywhere.
Teachers' Day is a perfect chance for students around the world to express their thanks for their teachers.
The festival doesn't fall on the same day around the world. In China, Teachers' Day is September 10. In
the US, teachers have a whole week. Teacher Appreciation (感谢) Week is celebrated every year in the-first
full week of May.
Need some great ideas for impressing (给...极深的印象) your teachers on Teachers' Day? Write poems
(诗), letters or notes of thanks and leave them on your teachers' desks. Or plan an activity with your teachers
together after school, such as playing volleyball or soccer. This is a great way to relieve (减轻) stress.
Feeling creative? Try some DIY gifts. Painting a thank-you mug (马克杯) is a good choice: Buy a
common mug and write words like "thank you" or "World's Greatest Teacher" with a special paint pen.
A fingerprint (指纹) card is also a fun and meaningful Teachers' Day gift. First, press (按,压) your
ink-covered finger on a clean card. Second, use a pen to make your fingerprint look like an animal or a robot.
Third, write words like "you are a wonderful teacher," or, "thank you for teaching me". Your teachers will be
impressed by your creative idea. What are you waiting for? Pick up your art supplies and give your teachers
an unforgettable day.
