The Teacher-Student Relationship

A good teacher-student relationship will make learning enjoyable and interesting for the students.

To set up a good teacher-student relationship, a teacher’s 【小题1】 (behave) is important. The teacher should motivate (激发) the students so that they want to learn. A good teacher should be 【小题2】 (patience), friendly and strict. However, being too friendly may cause students to become lazy and stop making progress. On 【小题3】 other hand, being too strict may frighten the students. So a teacher should avoid 【小题4】 (go) to extremes (极端) in treating his students. And teachers should encourage the students to think 【小题5】 (independent) and learn to study by 【小题6】 (they) .

As for the students, they must always respect their teachers. Students should be eager to learn as well as willing 【小题7】 (work) hard. It’s important to listen with attention in class and it’s more important to learn to raise questions and work out problems 【小题8】 new ways.

Above all, both students and teachers have to focus on 【小题9】 they should do most, which means that the students have to study hard and teachers have to be responsible when teaching. Besides, students and teachers have to respect each other, which 【小题10】 (be) a necessary basis of setting up a good teacher-student relationship.

What’s your understanding of education? It is a term that can have many meanings, but it is 【小题1】 (general) defined as the process of learning information. Formal (正式的) learning in a school or university is one of the most common 【小题2】 (type). Communities around the world place a high value on 【小题3】 (educate) people of all ages, whether formally or informally.

When 【小题4】 (talk) about education, most people will think of schools and classrooms where trained teachers present information 【小题5】 students. Classroom learning usually 【小题6】 (start) when a child is very young — around five years old in most countries. The purpose of most classroom learning is not to prepare a child for a specific job,【小题7】 rather to help him or her develop critical reasoning and thinking skills.

As a matter of fact, many people choose to extend (延长) their formal education beyond what 【小题8】 (require) by going to university. Students usually have a wide range of 【小题9】 (choose) when it comes to subject areas and degree options.

Although book learning is very important, it is not the only form of education in 【小题10】 people can get knowledge. Some people are self-taught. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, is one of the self-learners.

Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in an【小题1】(entire) different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid.

The term “third-culture kid”【小题2】(use) in the 1960s for the first time by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon while【小题3】(research) North American children living in India. In general, third-culture kids benefit 【小题4】their intercultural experience and they often reach excellent academic results.

Yet many【小题5】(difficulty) may arise from this phenomenon. Third-culture kids may not be able to adapt【小题6】(they) completely to their new surroundings. Also, they often find it hard【小题7】(develop) new friendship. Additionally, for a third-culture kid, it is often【小题8】(easy) to move to a new country than to return to his homeland. For example, after living in Australia for many years, Louis finally returned to the country【小题9】she was born. She didn’t know anything about current TV shows【小题10】fashion trends. And she didn’t share the same values as other teens of her age.
