3 . A good relationship with a teacher today may help you in the future. Teachers are another group of adults in your life who can look out for you and guide you. So itis important to develop a good relationship with your teachers. If you’re having problems with a teacher, try to find out why. Do you dislike the subject?     1    

If you don’t like the subject being taught, it can affect your relationship with the teacher. Some students say it helps them to think of the classes as stepping stones to-ward a bigger goal, like going on to college.     2     You may hate math, but learning how to work out averages (平均数) and percentages (百分比) can help you in everything from sports to leaving a tip.

    3     When it comes to working with teachers, personality can come into play (起作用) just as it can in any relationship. People naturally just get along better with some people than with others. It’s impossible to like everyone all the time.     4    , no matter what your goals are.

Common politeness and respect arc basic building blocks of any relationship. Just as teachers need to be fair and treat everyone equally, students have responsibilities, too.     5    , but it is necessary to be polite.

A．It’s easy to deal with the problem.

5 . I dropped out of college after my freshman year. Three years later, I quit a dead-end job and returned to college. I saw school as my way out.

But I quickly found myself facing the same roadblocks that had caused me to quit before: I was confused with college-level algebra(代数)and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignments. Moreover, I was unsure of my career(事业)direction. I was ready to drop out again. Then a smartly-dressed woman walked confidently to the front of my English composition class. “Look at you! Look at each and every one of you,” she said. “You’re here to change your lives for the better. And you’re going to make it!” I can’t remember the rest of the speech, but it changed the course of my college career, and my life.

Mrs. Smith didn’t know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, but I felt she was speaking directly to me. Having trouble keeping up with the workload? Break it down into small pieces, and set up a schedule that suits you. If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math. As for English composition, she gave us writing assignments we could relate to. “Go for the best, kid. You’re worth it,” she’d say.

I graduated from that college and went on to get my bachelor’s degrees. Today, as a college teacher, each fall when I stand in front of a new class, I think of Mrs. Smiths and how much teachers can affect their students. She couldn’t have known it when she gave that pep talk, but she made a huge difference in my life.
