A life-changing English lesson

Nothing could be more unforgettable than the embarrassing yet life-changing moment. 

It was a humid and hot summer day, when John had his BORING English class as the first class of the day. Since the grammar drills were boring, and Mr. Wang’s voice was so soporific , that most of the students seated below the platform could hardly stay awake. Like his classmates, John dozed off during Mr. Wang’s class. In his dream, he was transformed into a vigorous teacher. He made so much effort on giving his students interesting lectures. For instance, he used as much body language as he could while explaining the example sentences, changing his intonation, having interactions with students, and he even performed Kung-fu on the stage. 

However, no matter how hard he tried, his students still couldn’t resist the temptation to sleep. John was extremely angry because no one was paying attention in his class. Thus, he slammed his hand on the  desk, and continued to shouting “ Wake up!” to the students. They were scared and woke up, looking at John with  sympathy in their eyes. However, while John was glad that all of his students were woken up , he found out that he was the one who was slammed and drooled over his desk. And the “Wake up!” in his dream, was actually shouted by Mr. Wang . His classmates teased him, and he was so embarrassed that he swore never to doze off during class anymore. Since then, John came to realized how difficult it was to give an lively lesson. After a few years, it turned out that John became an English teacher, and he had incorporated fun teaching, just like his dream.
