Third Month
Saturday, May, 1
I'm tired and sleepy, but I want to put down a few thoughts before going to bed.
It's May Day, the first since I became a teacher, I feel happy and excited – it's my own holiday.
This morning I took my students boating in the park. The weather was lovely, and one could not help being in high spirits; the new clothes I was wearing for the occasion probably had something to do with it. Two of my students helped me into a boat. They rowed, insisting that Teacher Hung take it easy and leave everything to them, a suggestion to which Teacher Hung gracefully acceded.
I sat back and gave myself up to the bright sun and the gentle breezes blowing across the lake. While one of the girls rowed, the other began to hum a Taiwan folk song, accompanying herself on a guitar. She had a lovely contralto voice, and the song suited her voice to perfection.
We had lunch in the park, sharing what we had with the others. ц was a gay and noisy meal and we all enjoyed ourselves tremendously. The students were taking good care of me, offering me the choicest morsels. More than once, the thought occurred to me: "How wonderful our young people are!"
We got back to the university around three. I sat down to some reading. The book was "An American Tragedy." I was sleepy, but Theodore Dreiser's great story gripped me as usual, driving away my drowsiness.
Tomorrow is Sunday. I'll make up for the time spent reading and looking about.
Monday, May, 3
Instead of working with the textbook this morning, I have the students talk about the May Day picnic and about Youth Day, which is tomorrow.
To liven up the discussion on Youth Day, I let one group of students enact the role of foreign tourists in China, young women from different English-speaking nations. They ask the other students about their life, work, and studies; the latter in turn ask the "tourists" about youth outside of China.
It all goes fairly well. But I soon discover that our students know very little about foreign youth, and have difficulty therefore in formulating their questions.
Assignment:
Read the three extracts from a diary and
a) say what kind of teacher has written it,
b)what you think about her first speech,
c) in what way she spent May 1,
d) how she organized the lesson on May 3.
34. Good teacher
A good teacher:
keeps in contact with the parents of his or her pupils and lets them participate in the life of the school (in a primary or secondary school);
is able to maintain discipline and order;
lets the students share his or her own life with all its ups and downs;
works hard to remain up-to-date in his or her subject;
openly admits when he or she has made a mistake or does not know something;
is interested in his or her students, asks them about their homes and tries to help where possible;
makes the students work hard and sets high standards;
is friendly and helpful to his or her colleagues;
uses a lot of different materials, equipment and teaching methods and attempts to make his or her lessons interesting;
helps the students become independent and organize their own learning.
Assignments:
1. Look through the questionnaire and arrange the listed teachers qualities in the order you think most proper. Try to explain why you have done so. Agree or disagree with your groupmates.
2. Read the following quotations and comment on them.
1) Raising a child is very much like building a skyscraper. If the first few stories are out of line, no one will notice. But when the building is 18 or 20 stories high, everyone will see that it tilts.
2) Any man can be a good teacher.
3) Every teacher continues to be a student.
4) The teacher is a model and example to his students.
5) Good teachers are born, not made.
6) Teaching machines and computers can be substitutes for any teacher.
7) Teaching is a two-way traffic.
8) Experience is the best teacher.
