Приложение 6 - Text

Task : Read the questions, then read the text and find the answers for these questions (прочитайте вопросы, затем прочитайте текст и дайте полные ответы на эти вопросы)

1st paragraph :

1. What is important for the real teacher?

2. What are people ready to do when they choose to be a teacher?

3. What people should never become teachers?

Everybody knows that teaching is a very specific, (1) responsible and difficult job. Most young people prefer to choose a more (2) rewarding and better-paid job. But for the real teacher the main attraction is not money, but job (3) satisfaction. So, there are many young people who consider teaching as a career, who agree to be on stage day and night, paying special attention to the smallest details in their speech, voice, clothes, behaviour every minute. Those who are not interested in their students’ success, who go out of the class without even trying to find out how much the students have understood, who have no time to understand and solve the students’ problems, should never become teachers.

2nd paragraph :

1. What is the attitude of a student towards an ideal teacher?

2. What should an ideal teacher try to do?

3. What are the qualities of an ideal teacher?

Different teachers are (4) successful in different ways, but in spite of the difference in personalities, all good teachers have some common qualities that help them to become the best ones. An ideal teacher is the one who is loved and (5) respected by every student. He should try to win the hearts of all students, to establish a kind of relationship and bond between the hearts and minds of himself and the students. He always has time to solve students’ problems. An ideal teacher knows his subject well and can make it very interesting. He never brags about what he knows and does not try to prove that he is God and knows everything. He is a good actor who can put life into any dull topic. He has a good sense of humour, can laugh at himself and can also laugh with the students. An ideal teacher is kind and (6) forgiving. He is (7) honest, disciplined, simple and (8) humble. He is always (9) well-dressed and looks (10) smart.

3d paragraph :

1. When can a teacher definitely become best for a student?

2. Why is it impossible to avoid misunderstandings?

3. What should a teacher do to become best for students?

So, when you are a teacher, it is rather difficult to become perfect for ALL your students. It's clear, that we all are different, so your students are, and each of them has his own learning style. When your teaching style suits a learning style of your student, you will definitely become his best teacher. But it's obvious, that all your 30 students (or 20, or even 10) will never have the same opinion about your teaching methods, so, (11) misunderstandings are impossible to avoid. However, you can always become a better teacher for your students, the main thing is to listen to them (12) carefully. You teach them of course, but you can always let them teach you a bit as well. So, if you want to become the best teacher for your students, you'd better not ignore what they say.
