10The best teacher I have ever had was a friendly and middle aged woman and her name was Blanca. She wanted to work for NASA in the US as an aerospace engineer, she liked everything connected to space, stars…, but she couldn’t and had to work at my high school.12br
12br
10Although she taught physics using a usual boring book, the lessons weren’t so boring as they used to be until she became my teacher because she told a lot of jokes about what we were studying.12br
12br
10I got high marks on physics because she explained really well and it was not necessary to study.12br
12br
10Unfortunately, nowadays I have another physics teacher, I wish Blanca was back.12br
12blockquote
10I'm not sure whether the last sentence is ok or not, beacuse of the tense. It is going to be marked by an american english teacher, I don't know if it's useful for you.02br

0 Thank very much Clive, just one question, I've realised that the last sentence may be wrong: 01font00"I wish Blanca was back."02br
02br
00Shouldn't it be " I wish Blanca were back"? Beacuse it is the subjuntive. Maybe I'm wrong, hehe.02br

0Hi,02br

00'Was' is commonly used and accepted. It often suggests there is at least some possibility that the wish may come true. 'Were' is fine, but tends to make the style seem rather more formal, and stresses the fact that the wish is not going to come true. 02br
