Read the paragraph.

I love going to my piano teacher’s house for lessons. She clearly loves music, and she seems to like teaching, too. Each week, she greets me at the door with a beautiful smile. It makes me feel glad and welcome. She always has new and fun activities that make learning seem like a breeze. Time passes quickly when I’m there, and I feel proud of myself when the lesson is over. My family can’t believe how much I am improving.
