Mr. Tucker is my math teacher at school. He teaches us at class IX. He is a smart teacher. He can teach us very well. He is a strict teacher. He doesn't like his students came late at class. He will be very angry. Besides that he doesn't like us cheating in the test. He always tells us to be honest. His students must pay attention to his explanation.

    Besides that Mr. Tucker always does the same things everyday. Entering the classroom, he will wash his hands in the basin in the corner of the class. After that he will walk over to his desk. Sitting in his desk, he will look at and greet us formally. Then he will put us on his glasses, open his textbook and ask us what lesson we discussed the previous meeting. And then he starts teaching. I was really amazed by his habit.
