A "Giant" Teacher
Read the passage and answer this question: What's Tim Lammers like?
With the height of 2 metres, Tim Lammers becomes a kindergarten teacher at the Earth School in New York.

Every day he has to lower his head to enter his classroom and bend down to talk to his pupils. He has to walk carefully, or maybe he could step on his "dwarf" pupils.
"He is active and funny. We like to play with him," says one of his pupils, Emma.
"He is as tall as a tree. He's special to us," says Eric, a cute boy.
"He's our 'giant' teacher," says Emily.
"He is active for PE, pretty for music, strict for maths, funny for art, smart for science. He is a good 'guy'," says the principal of the Earth School.
"I am happy to be a kindergarten teacher. I like to stay with my pupils. I'm glad to become the 'Giant Protector' for my kids," says Tim Lammers to the reporter.
