F.+Midterm+Essay

Mattis Leson 1/27/2011 “I am begging you”, cries the desperate student. “I am sorry”, replies the teacher ,”but I can not give you a 100, your work is simply not good enough”. Many students ask their teachers for good grates, even though they do not have any reasonable explanation why. Just because or my mom will kill me are the common lines that teachers have to listen to when they give out grates. I do not need this poor excuses, because my reasons are so good that my teacher must give me a 100 or more. I should get a 100 for I am a foreign exchange student, my positive work attitude in class, and my incredible writing skills. First of all everybody loves exchange students. The way we talk, dress, think, and walk is just different and fascinating, even teacher can not help themselves. If a teacher would give me anything less than a 100 on a test it would break his or hers heart. Especial because I would have to leave America, if I do not keep my grates up. The company, which send me over, is very strict about grates. Which is not fair, since all the other students have an advantage over me. They all take their testes in their native language, I have to write on the same level as they do in a language that I just started to learn. I also deserve credit, not only for my essay, but for my positive working attitude in class. The common view in an American classroom is: students sleeping on the table, chatting exited about gossip or just simply staring into nothing. However I always sit in my seat, with a smile on my face, waiting for the class to begin. When the class starts and the teacher ask a question nobody seems to bother to answer or to listen. Even though I do not understand everything all the time, I will give it at least a shot. I am in class to learn. A student like I am, makes every day the teachers day, and is a role model for all his classmates. Considering that English is not my native language and I have to adopt different and new writing styles, my writing skills are incredible. Teachers have to read the same essay over and over again, for all the other students have all the same ideas. My essays, however, have always fresh, new, and brilliant ideas in it and I can express them really well. This ideas are based on my different background and are always interesting to read. I am sure that this is one of the best essays ever written in all English 11 classes of Kempsvill high school. Maybe someone could argue that I do not deserve a 100 because my spelling and grammar is not as good as an average student, but it is not my native language and since I arrived here, my English skills improved extraordinary. My good ideas should count more than the spelling, for they make the essay worth reading. On top of that I am about to fix all my spelling and grammar issues, since I will stay here for more than 6 months, which is a long time to learn more. I do not think that any teacher wants to take away my opportunity to learn with giving me anything less than a 100, since I have to leave sooner, if I would get bad grates. That is why I should definitely get a 100 in this essay.
