2. Sample Essay 1: The First Stroke of Pen

During my school years, I've had many happy and sad memories under the beloved school roof. But the memory that I will never forget is the memory from first grade, when I was learning to write and my teacher patiently held my hand to guide every stroke.

At the age of 6, I entered first grade with great excitement. I learned to read very quickly, just listening to the teacher once, I could read along. But writing was a difficult journey for me. I am left-handed, but since childhood, my mother has trained me to hold the pen with my right hand. However, whenever no one was looking, I would switch hands. My first-grade teacher's name was Ngoc. Just like her name, she was beautiful and radiant, yet affectionate and gentle. She knew I was left-handed so she often came down to observe me write. In the second semester, we practiced writing small letters and longer spelling exercises. My writing became more crooked. During that spelling class, she wrote round letters on the board, and we copied them into our notebooks. Since she wasn't paying attention, I switched hands to write.

At the end of the class, Ms. Ngoc returned our spelling notebooks. She began to comment. Suddenly, she mentioned me: 'Gia Bao, you've made progress today. However, I think you're forgetting something.' I lowered my head in shock. In her graceful ao dai, she approached my desk and continued: 'Does the class remember how we should hold our pens when writing?' The class echoed her reminder. She continued: 'Nevertheless, Gia Bao, you still forget. I criticize Gia Bao in today's class.' Then she looked straight at me and said: 'I hope Gia Bao will remember my advice.' Some classmates chuckled. Hearing that, my face flushed, tears welled up, and my hands squeezed the notebook I had just written. 'Today your writing is round, spacing correct. You've improved a lot.' - she gently added. The class fell silent. Being praised by her made me feel relieved, so I let go of the anger of a proud boy.

From then on, I persisted in practicing writing with my right hand. In second grade, I could write extremely neat lines. Although I no longer study with her, her interesting lessons and caring teachings still remain deeply ingrained in my mind.

3. Sample Essay 2: The Heart of Teacher's Affection 

In everyone's life, there are unforgettable memories. For me, after nearly four years of going to school, the most memorable memory is about my homeroom teacher in third grade.

My family isn't wealthy, and we have many siblings. My parents aren't government employees; they work as farmers all year round. The year I was in third grade was the most difficult time. My father fell seriously ill, and our family had to sell our assets and borrow money from everywhere for treatment. I decided to drop out because when it was time to pay the school fees, we didn't have any.

My homeroom teacher at that time was Ms. Lan. She was a kind, dedicated teacher who cared deeply about our lives. When I didn't come to class for two days, she asked my friends and came to my house to visit. She encouraged my family a lot and wanted me to continue attending school. She said I was a good student in the class, and it would be a pity if I dropped out. She also hoped that I would study hard to have a bright future and help my family. At that time, I only thought about the present, so I still wanted to drop out. Then, a week later, she came to my house again to encourage me. She said she had reported my situation to the school and the local authorities to consider exempting me from paying school fees. I was very happy because I always wanted to go to school like my peers. After more than a week off, I was able to return to school. The road to school seemed brighter every day. I walked to school with great joy. Every day after school, Ms. Lan spent extra time teaching me the lessons I missed the previous week. She was caring and enthusiastic to ensure I didn't fall behind. That year, I received the title of comprehensive excellent student and the title of poor student overcoming difficulties. I was deeply moved and grateful for what Ms. Lan did for me.

That's the most memorable memory of mine about teachers. It will forever be engraved in my heart with profound gratitude. I always remember her and silently vow to study hard to become a good and dedicated teacher like her.

4. Sample Essay 3: My Beloved Homeroom Teacher

'You reap what you sow, remember the one who planted the tree
Having fame and ambition, remember the teachers of the past'

Those are verses about the teaching profession, a profession that is always loved and respected. I admire all my teachers, but the one who left the deepest impression on me is Ms. Kim Anh - our homeroom teacher.

She has very long, silky, black hair always emanating a sweet fragrance. Her round, determined eyes are both firm and gentle. Whenever we achieved high academic accomplishments, she looked at us with affectionate eyes. But whenever we made mistakes, her determined eyes carried a hint of sadness. Her slender hands always wrote emotional passages to convey lessons to us. She helped us remember lessons longer with her voice. Her voice was expressive, sometimes gentle and warm, sometimes witty and cheerful, always keeping us focused on lessons, forgetting time. Her personality is gentle, straightforward, and she takes her work very seriously. Teaching for her is not just a profession, but also a passion. She always prepares meticulously for her lectures, sometimes even using short clips about the lessons to help us understand quickly. Even though she is a teacher, she is still a learner. She stays up until three or four in the morning to study after preparing her lesson plans. 'Learning is like rowing against the current, my dear students!' Her words deeply touch our hearts.

One of the most memorable moments was when she went on a field trip with our class. At that time, her face and eyes showed worry and restlessness. Later, we found out that on that day, she had a philosophy exam, but she skipped it to accompany our class because she was afraid that if something went wrong, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Another memorable memory was when I attended summer school. At that time, I was quite worried because I had missed two weeks of school. I entered the classroom feeling anxious. She knew I had been absent, so she re-taught me the parts I didn't know or understand, then asked a friend to lend me their notebook to catch up on the lessons. At that moment, I felt relieved, silently thanking her and my classmates.

Indeed, teaching is noble, as the saying goes: 'Teaching is ferrying knowledge across the river.' It's also a profession I aspire to pursue in the future. On Vietnamese Teachers' Day, November 20th, I want to send my wishes to her: 'I wish you good health! I love you so much!'

The end has come.
