How do you get on with your teachers? Every day, we spend hours with our teachers at school. We 41　 them, and they teach us to be good people. The relationship between students and teachers is very important.

　　 Teachers care about our studies and lives, and it seems they know everything about the subjects they teach. They also have the right (权利) to decide　 42　 should be the class leaders or represent the class to take part in the activities.

　　 So, many students want to be the teacher' s pet. We 43 teachers great respect. In class, we obey the rules and keep　 44　 if the teacher doesn' t ask us to speak. We　 45　 have opinions different from our teachers'. When they make a mistake, we are afraid to point it out. Some of us don ' t want to contact teachers after class because we don' t want to bother (打扰) them.

　　 At American 46. , the situation is a little different. Teachers and students are more like friends.　 47　 a teacher by his or her name is common. In class, students express their opinions 　48 and challenge (挑战) teachers when they don' t agree. If it lures out that a teacher made a mistake, the teacher will say " 49 " in front of the whole class. Students and teachers also

communicate through e-mail, Facebook or Twitter after class. They chat 50　 studies and life experiences.

　　 Teachers are like our parents and our friends. So we should respect our teachers.

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasant voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he doesn’t sit still before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.
There are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.
The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand(预先).What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand anything, they say so. The teacher can’t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can’t keep strictly to what another has written.
