| Description: | Mr Lee was my formmaster of 5S2 in 1973. Every day, he delivered a nice short story to the class first thing in the morning. Many stories were about life, in addition to augmented English instruction. Mr Lee stressed that, if he did not teach us the proper way, other people in the workplace would laugh behind us instead of correcting us. |

| Description: | I echo K Leung’s description on Mr Lee. He has his unique and effective way of teaching English. He bought different items to class and taught us a new word. One stunning example of the items was an axe. The other thing is that, he taught us by our mistakes and asked us to write it down in a “Special book”. My “special books” are still well kept at home. Thanks Mr Lee. Class of 5D 1982. |

| Description: | John Richard Lee is the first teacher who really taught me how to make good use of a Dictionary. He always insisted that we should look up a dictionary when in doubt of the meaning, pronunciation or where the stress should rest…thus correcting a lot of our mistakes and most importantly, he taught us to how to learn for ourselves. Thanks again my teacher, I’ll always remember you as an insisting and enlightening teacher. Class of S.4 1978 |
