Sometimes I think that the most difficult job in the world is being a teacher. Preparing a good lesson is hard but the bigg est problems for teachers are …people! Yes, people! We hav e to please the school leaders, the parents and, of course, yo u, the students.
Everyone wants good scores and it’s the teacher’s job to make sure that every student gets the best score he can. If th ere is a bad score, the school leaders, the parents, and even t he student think the teacher is responsible. I think that’s unfair but that’s part of the job.
So, what is the good part of being a teacher? Well… peopl e! There is nothing more satisfying than to see students impro ve. To see young people learning, growing, becoming more c onfident. I always feel proud when I hear my students speakin g English. And I feel very proud when someone thanks me an d says that I helped them to improve their English.
This Teacher’s Day I want you to make your teachers hap py by remembering these three words: participate, cooperate, and appreciate. “Participate” means that you “take part” in th e class by listening closely and asking questions. “Cooperate” means that you behave well and do the things the teacher as ks you to do. And “appreciate” means that you say “Thank yo
u” once in a while for all your teacher’s hard work, help and ki ndness.
If you do those three things, you will make your teachers fe el that the wo rld’s“most difficult” job is really the world’s most rewarding job.
23. Which could be the best title of the passage?
A. The responsibilities of a teacher.
