1.5 in brief 简言之

         What do you think of Mr. Beadle and his first lesson?

(students’ answers for reference)

He must be quite creative and devoted to his work. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do so well in his work.

  His class was very interesting and relaxing because the class was full of laughter.

He was very creative, because he could make use of the environment, the farm, some tricks and the games, instead of a lot of rules, to arouse the students’ attention.

2. More exercises about the language use.
   1. Complete the passage on page 29.

Yu Yi, who was made “People’s Educator” in 2019, has dedicated her life to her work. She has inspired many young teachers who are eager to develop their skills, and I am one of them. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to hear her give a speech on education. I can’t wait to share her ideas with you!

In brief, her speech was about the changing role of teachers and schools. Schools need to keep up with the times, and teachers who refuse to change will not be successful. Education needs to have a positive effect on children’s lives, and provide them with the tools they need to deal with difficulties when they grow up.

The students who some people describe as “unteachable” are actually eager to learn. However, teachers need to catch their attention with interesting and lively lessons, otherwise their students will not be motivated. Teachers also have to be well prepared. While in class, they should make sure that their students understand and pay attention.

Judging by the mood in the room, the audience loved her speech.

I am amazed by Yu Yi’s deep knowledge and love of education. Even in her nineties, she’s still helping teachers and students grow their talents, and this is why I see Yu Yi as a role model.

2.3 Add more useful verbs and phrases from the passage to the following table.

2.4   Are there any differences and similarities between these two great teachers?

What kind of role do you think a teacher plays on our roads to education?

Although they have different gender, nationality and award, they actually have a lot in common. They have dedicated their lives to the cause of education. Mr. Beadle experimented with a group of students to make them teachable (teach); Ms. Yu gives inspiring/ inspirational (inspire) ideas to both teachers and students, whether they are untalented (talent) or talented (talent). If their students are inattentive (attention) in class, they all know how to make them motivated (motivate) and eager (eagerness) to learn. Their ways to deal with students are so amazing (amaze) and educational (education) that they all have a positive effect on both teachers and students.

     The value of a good teacher is immeasurable (measure). Despite the unavoidable (avoid) challenges from students, a good teacher can be flexible (flexibility) enough to make their lesson lively (liveliness).

(students’ answers for reference)

My favorite class was a math lesson in my primary school. It was our first class about circle. My math teacher was a very experienced, humorous and inspiring man. He started by drawing a big circle on the blackboard without any tool. It was so round that it caught everyone’s attention. Then he dealt with some special features of circle. We were amazed by both his technique to draw a round circle with bare hands and the unique features of this special shape. This class became my motivation to learn more about math, especially various shapes. It has a positive effect on my math learning.

My most unforgettable class is my music class in my primary school. My music teacher was a young lady. She was always smiling. The learning environment was very relaxing and lively and when class began, the classroom was converted into a dancing hall. We were all eager for her class because she could always caught our attention through different games. We could move around, clap our hands and sing songs happily there. Because of that, our passion for music has been motivated largely. Because of her, I’ve learned that music can be participated and when playing music, you should follow your heart and interpret it in your own way.
