Teachers 老师
1. Describe a teacher you admire. Explain why you admire him or her. Include reasons and examples to support
your response. Miss Chang is my Chinese teacher in high school. She looks very normal except that she is very beautiful inside. Most important of all, she is a very humble person. She is just a walking library who has so much stored knowledge of Chinese literature that you wonder how one brain could hold that much knowledge. She has written 13 books on various writers including Lao She, Lu Xun and others. She has appeared on TV programs and even was the guest of a TV show in England while she was visiting there. Her English is spectacular, and she could even probably teach just that if he wanted to. However she never shows off his knowledge, even though she can.
In addition, she is sincere and patient with her students. She is also very demanding and clear when she speaks, and her concern is not so much with your grades but your effort. The effect she had on the students is very powerful. Essentially she opened up the minds of her students to the world of knowledge.
2. ■102 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Schools should ask students to evaluate their
teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
参考分析:
有保留地同意 (agree with reservations)。学生在评判教师时,
是否全部学生都可以客观评价(objective evaluation)?
是否有足够的能力(包括academic knowledge等等)去进行客观评价?
如果采取了这样的方式,就会出现老师迎合(cater to/ pander to/ play up to students' taste)学生而不是引导(guide; lead)学生,违背了教育的原则。
保留意见/这种方式:允许学生进行评价,但是应该作为一个参考,同时要有其他的评判方式。
