Jenny was my grandmother's sister and she was an amazing woman. She was born in 1901 and 1 in 2000. It was a pity that she didn't live to celebrate（庆祝）her 100th birthday, 2 she had a good,long life.
She had already been a professional 3 before many women had jobs.She taught in Africa for many years. Then she moved to Malaysia and taught English there for a few years. At that time,people didn't tralvel 4 a plane, so she had to travel there by ship. It took her three months 5 from England to Malaysia in those days. In 1947,she traveled by plane for the first time. This made traveling 6easier and quicker. She continued to teach around the world until she was 75 years old.
Jenny really loved teaching and she was also good at telling stories. I always loved to hear her 7 her stories. They were8 interesting that I would like to listen to her when I was free. It was9 that she could remember everything even though she was so old. I think it was because she never stopped 10.My grandmother's sister was really an amazing woman.
