Miss Marvic: I think a good teacher should be able to listen, understand and act on what should be done.

Miss Marvic: Yes, German was always my favourite subject. I am happy that when I was younger, I chose to learn this language.

Miss Marvic: Respect, I think respect can change the whole relationship between a teacher and a student.
Student: How would you act if you get unexpected behaviour from your students?
