I am one of the few man who work as a nursery school teacher in London. Most of my kids come from families on problems. It's surprised how very young children understand or are aware of things that go wrong in home. This, of course, affects them and sometimes make them very difficult to deal. At such times you have to be very patient with them.

I don't think that women are natural better with children than men are. Anybody who is preparing to understand and help children, and who has the right qualities can look after them and teach them. The qualities are there, in all men and women, but most men don't use them. I think my group of children rather like being with a man for the change, especially since they don't see their fathers very much. So I don't feel I'm doing a ‘woman's job’; in fact, as a man, I feel I can bring something extra to the job.

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】本文作者是一名男性幼儿园教师，独特的工作经历使他对问题家庭的孩子多了一份了解，并由此引发了一系列的思考和见解。

1. one of ...后面的名词通常用复数形式，表示“……之一”。故将man改成其复数形式men。

2. 根据下文可知，这里所说的应该是有问题的家庭，用介词with表示伴随，on没有这样的用法。故将on改为with。

3. surprising表示“令人吃惊的”，通常指事或物；surprised表示吃惊的状态，通常指人。这里用来修饰形式主语it，意为“小孩子对家里发生的事情一清二楚这一现象是令人吃惊的”，应该用surprising。故将surprised改为surprising。

4. at home表示“在家里”，固定短语。故将in改为at。

5. make 的主语this指的是上文中“young children understand or are aware of things that go wrong in home” 这件事，它表示的是单数意义。故将make改为makes。

6. deal with意为“处理，应对，对付”，是固定短语，放在句末的时候介词不能省略。故在这里加上with。

7. natural在这里修饰形容词better，应该用副词形式。故将natural改为naturally。

8. be prepared to do sth.表示“准备好做某事”，是固定短语。故将preparing改为prepared。

9. both……and…… 连接两个对象，表示两者都……，为固定用法。All表示三者或三者以上。故将all改为both。

10. 冠词后面的change是泛指一个改变，而不是特指某一个或者前文提到的改变。故将the改为a。
