In our English class, my friend Lina always raises her hand when she doesn’t understand something. She’s not afraid to ask questions. Last week, we were learning how to use “will” and “going to” for future tense. I was confused, but I didn’t say anything. I felt shy.
Lina asked the teacher, “Can you explain again?” The teacher smiled and wrote more examples on the board. “I will call you,” and “I’m going to visit my grandma.” Suddenly, everything became clear to me too.
After class, I told Lina, “Thanks for asking that question. It helped me too.” She laughed and said, “That’s why we have teachers!”
Since then, I try to ask questions when I need help. Our teacher always says, “Asking is part of learning.” The more we ask, the more we understand. Lina taught me that getting help is not a sign of weakness. It’s a smart way to grow.
Now, when I don’t understand a word or grammar rule, I speak up. I also talk to my teacher after class sometimes. She’s always happy to explain again.
Getting help from a teacher doesn’t just give answers. It builds confidence, trust, and better understanding. I’m glad I learned that from Lina.
