To be a good teacher, you need some of the abilities of a good actor. You must be able to__1___ the attention and interest of your audience. You must be a clear speaker with a good voice which is fully under your _2___. And you must be able to act what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear.

Watch a good teacher, __3___ you will see that 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. When you listen to him, you will hear the loudness and the musical note of his voice __4__changing according to what he is talking about.

What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem __7__ on the stage.

The good teacher works in a quite different way. His audience take an active part in his play. They ask questions when they do not understand something.
