The Teacher-Student Relationship

A good teacher-student relationship will make learning enjoyable and interesting for the students.

To set up a good teacher-student relationship, a teacher’s     1     (behave)is important. The teacher should motivate (激发)the students so that they want to learn. A good teacher should be     2     (patience), friendly and strict. However, being too friendly may cause students to become lazy and stop making progress. On     3     other hand, being too strict may frighten the students. So a teacher should avoid     4     (go) to extremes (极端) in treating his students. And teachers should encourage the students to think     5     (independent) and learn to study by     6     (they).

As for the students, they must always respect their teachers. Students should be eager to learn as well as willing     7     (work) hard. It’s important to listen with attention in class and it’s more important to learn to raise questions and work out problems     8     new ways.

Above all, both students and teachers have to focus on     9       they should do most, which means that the students have to study hard and teachers have to be responsible when teaching. Besides, students and teachers have to respect each other, which     10     (be) a necessary basis of setting up a good teacher-student relationship.

I am taught by many teachers in my school. Every subject has a    1     (differ) teacher, but I like my math teacher    2     (well). Her name is Lakshmi but we usually call her Ma’am. She is our class teacher too.

Ma’am    3     (join) us last term. She is very kind and her way of teaching is so    4     (interest) and simple that we all can understand everything    5     is being taught and how it can be done. Most    6     (important) , Ma’am teaches math with lots of patience. If we do not understand a problem, she will spend extra time guiding us until we understand it. And we can go to ask her at any time during school hours for help.

She also helps us     7     activities at school. When there is some kind of programs, she will be there     8     (help) us to get ready for the show. Even when we go on picnics, she takes good care of     9     (we)．

To me, Ma’am is not only    10     good teacher, but also our best friend. I love Ma’am and I wish her a happy life.

4 . “Good morning,” the new teacher said. “I’m Ernesto Flores, your teacher for fifth grade. “In all his years in school, Julio had never heard a teacher use his or her first name. Of course, the students always found out what they were, but it was up to the students to discover this information for themselves.

“Now I’d like to find out who you are,” said Mr. Flores. He began to call the roll (点名) , starting with the boys. Julio shook his head. Teachers always began with the girls.

“Julio Sanchez,” called Mr. Flores, pronouncing it Hulio. That was the correct way to say the name in Spanish.

Several kids laughed. They had never heard Julio’s name pronounced without the J.

Mr. Flores looked up from the roll book. “Isn’t that how you say your name?” he asked Julio. “Or do you prefer Julio with a J?”

“At home, they call me Hulio. But at school everyone calls me Julio,” Julio said.

“Do you like two pronunciations of your name?” asked the teacher. “It’s a good Spanish name and you should be proud of it.”

Julio smiled. “I know,” he said, “but it doesn’t matter to me.”

“Are you sure?” asked Mr. Flores. “Your name is a very important part of you.”

Julio thought for a moment. “Okay,” he said. “From now on, everyone please call me Hulio. Puerto Rico, where I was born, used to be a Spanish colony (殖民地).”

“That’s right,” said Mr. Flores. “Can you tell us something about Puerto Rico?”

“I came here when I was only eight months old. I don’t remember anything,” Julio replied.

“I think you can interview your parents instead,” Mr. Flores said.

Julio nodded. It would be fun to learn more about the place where he had been born.

Julio had to admit (承认) that Mr. Flores was creative and interesting.

7 . It was in the eighth grade at the time that we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me ______ something, but I didn't understand. So I ______ her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had a/an ______ pen. She showed me that hers was out of ______ and would not write. I happened to have one, so I took it out of my pencil box and put it on her desk.

Later, after the test papers had been ______ the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were ______ As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to ______; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be ______ for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and ______ the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really ______ themselves. She made me promise that I would think ______ about all the things she had said. I walked out of the room wondering why she had ______ to talk to me about all those things.

Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. I tried to explain about the pen, but all ______ she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn't talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me ______ after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl ______ by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

I was in the ninth year when I began to suffer depression. My parents noticed but felt that since I’d always been     1     good child, this was temporary.

    2    (fortunate), it was not to be so. I didn’t have friends. Hardly could I share my problems. Deep worry began to destroy my     3    (confident). Finally I refused to attend classes,     4    (shut) myself in my room for hours.

The examination was approaching, but I simply didn’t care. My parents and teachers were surprised     5     my bad performance. One morning, after a particularly severe lecture from my father, I stood at the school gate,     6    (depress). Then as the other students marched to their classrooms, our headmaster called me. The next forty-five minutes was one of     7    (precious) moments in my life. She said she     8    (notice) a big change in me and wondered why. At first she took my hands in     9    (she) and listened patiently as I mentioned my worries. Then she hugged me as I wept. Months of frustration and loneliness disappeared in her motherly hug.

No one had tried to understand what the real problem was except the headmaster,     10     helped me out simply by listening and hugging.

Of all my teachers, Mr Smith is the one who impress me most. While he is in his 40s, he looks very young for his age. Compare with other teachers, he pays many attention to the way of teaching. He tries various way to make his classes lively and interested. In his opinion, we should not only know “what it is”, but to understand “why it is so”. He encourages us to think independently instead giving us the answer to a question immediate. Under his guidance, we’ve learned what to solve problems. He is so learned a person that we all admire her.
