What personal qualities are preferred in a teacher? Probably no two people would give the same answer to this question. As we know, the teacher’s personality should be favourably lively and attractive. This is not to say that ugly-looking people cannot be considered here, because many such have great characteristics. But it does mean that those impatient, cold, unfriendly people with negative personalities can never be good teachers. But I think the following would aslo be generally agreed.

A teacher should be intelligent (聪明的) and well-organized. As a teacher, he or she should always know what is going to happen in class. Always be prepared to solve a problem, to answer a strange question and to suggest a good idea. At the same time, a teacher also needs to be honest. Everyone makes mistakes, and a teacher shouldn’t be embarrassed by this but bravely admit (承认) his/her own faults.

A teacher should know how to appreciate students’ progress, when to avoid making students feel stupid, and praise students as much as possible. A teacher should know that being strict doesn’t mean you don’t encourage children. Children would prefer to correct their mistakes when you encourage them rather than when you criticize them seriously. Positive words are always better for helping children.

In addition, a good teacher should know how to behave in an amusing way at the right time. Jokes are the best friends of a teaching method. A funny and relaxed class will help children to love learning. Don’t be afraid of being laughed at. Making friends with children is not an embarrassing thing. You will find in fact that children will respect you more than you imagine.

I think a teacher should also be a learner. Teaching is a job; it will never be perfect. There is always something more to learn about it. There are three important things in teaching: the subjects, the method of teaching and the most important—the children, young people or adults—the learners. A good relationship between two persons—the teacher and the learner—makes a good education.

She was then noticed by U.S. Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, who offered her a diplomatic (外交的) position, which she accepted.
