One person who has influenced me a lot is my former English teacher, Mr Lewis. He was patient, energetic, and always interested in his students' ideas. Before I joined his class, I was afraid of making mistakes when I spoke English. He encouraged me to speak more and reminded me that mistakes are part of learning. Because of his support, I became much more confident. I still remember his advice when I face something difficult: prepare well, try your best, and do not be afraid to improve slowly. His attitude changed the way I think about learning new skills.
