Why I Became a Teacher: to Pass on My Love of Literature
A. Like lots of people, I never thought I´d be a teacher when I was at school. To be honest I only did my training because my husband was on a four-year course and I was on a three-year course at Cardiff University so I wanted to do something for one year. I thought doing a teaching qualification would be interesting and might be quite use full. I´m convinced that nothing else I might have done would have given me so much pleasure and satisfaction, or fitted in so well with family life.
B. When I retire, in just a few years time, I can look back on a career which made a positive difference to the lives of thousands of children. Few other career choices can be so rewarding, so if you have a love of your subject and want the opportunity to pass that on then teaching can be a great career.
C Anyone going into teaching now will be used to teaching to formal work schemes and observation. I think it has raised standards in the profession but personally I feel the loss in the classroom. I´ve got the confidence of 30 years experience. I´ve seen new approaches come and go (and sometimes even identical "new ideas" come and go more than once).
D. For me, it´s the passion for your subject and interest in the success of your students that matters more than how all the acronyms (首字母缩略词) add up. This is what will make you a good teacher. There´s still room for individuals but you have to have the confidence and passion for your subject to make it work.
E. The major challenge in teaching is time. There´s not enough of it. It´s hard if you´re working full time to cope with the marking and feel that you have enough time to do your job properly. I´ve worked part time ever since I had children. I officially work three days a week--trot on my two days off I always work, it probably all adds up to what counts as a full week´s work in most other jobs but the pay isn´t bad so you can work part time and then the job really does fit in with family life. There are shortcuts to save time, and if had to work part time I´d have to use them.But working part time gives me the luxury to be a critical marker. It can take two hours to mark a 3,000 word A level essay, so if you have 16 pupils that´s 32 hours of marking in one week for just one class.
F. One of the benefits of being a part-time teacher is that I do have time to mark properly. Sometimes my feedback is almost as long as their essay but 1 really want the kids to do well. One of the best things about teaching is you get to raise children´s aspirations, and to make a difference in their lives. You get visits and emails from your old students to prove it! It´ s great to make the difference, and, as they say, it does make it all worthwhile.
G. The core of teaching is the subject and the pupils. We have a lot of NQTs and PGCE students coming to our school and sometimes I must admit to being disappointed when students don´t know their subjects that well. I had an NQT who was teaching Animal Farm and asked me "What´s Marxism?" --and she´d got a first in her degree so it just goes to show that government initiatives to try and attract those with firsts aren´t necessarily going work.
H. However, lots of people drop out of teaching after a couple of years, it is an exhausting job. So my advice to those just starting out is:
I. Don´t lose your sense of proportion over things that happen in the classroom or in an observation that doesn´t go well. As long as in the bigger picture of things you are connecting with kids and the subject--then don´t get frustrated. Even after 30 years of teaching everyone has fearful days in teaching, when you think: "Can I really do this?" You´ve got to keep positive; it´s only a problem if you get more bad days than good days.
J. Make sure teaching doesn´t overwhelm you. You have to develop strategies especially if you are teaching a subject which requires a lot of marking. So plan things well. Get your pupils to do peer marking, which really can work. If you know you just can´t handle any more marking in a particular week, get pupils to write a speech and then perform it in the next class. You´ve got to think ahead about times of maximum workload and plan accordingly--ask your more experienced colleagues for advice.
K. You´ve got to keep your sense of humour, which is a great way of relieving a situation. I know I became a better teacher when I became a parent. I realised that kids can be so unpleasant sometimes, even your own kids. They don´t mean it; they´re just being kids. It doesn´t mean they hate you or hate your lessons. When you´re a new teacher coming into teaching, especially if you are young, you think of the students as almost your adversaries (对手), until you´ve got to defeat them. But you´ve got to be careful what you say. You can´ t belittle them too much or you
can really harm them.
L. Love your subject. If you are going to succeed in secondary school teaching, you must love your subject. The kids really know if you do or don´t.
M. You have to know your students are individuals, they learn in different ways. You have to be sensitive to that.
N. You can´t just teach a formula.1 do worry about the difference between lip service to what the government say it´ s supposed to be like and what it´ s really like. I do hate the untruthfulness of that and the gulf seems to widen more and more. It feels like what matters most is what´ s tested. The trouble is nothing that is really worthwhile, the love of learning, connection with literature,having empathy--these are the things that really make a difference to someone´s life but of course they can´t be tested. Young teachers have to be careful not to get lost in formulas and initiatives. A more experienced teacher will have confidence to respond to kids and to talk about an issue that´s raised in class that´s not on the plan. The children will learn so much from that but there´ s no box to tick.
Keeping sense of humor rather than belittling your students can help relieve a situation.

参考译文
我为什么当老师:为了传递我对文学的热爱
A.同很多人一样,当我在学校时,我从来没有想过当老师。老实说,我只做我的训练,因为我的丈夫在加的夫大学读一个四年的课程,而我读一个为期三年的课程。因此,我想用剩下的一年做点什么事情。我认为当老师是有趣的,并且可能是有用的。我相信我做过的任何事情都不会像当老师这样让我如此高兴与满足,或与我的家庭生活如此匹配。
B.在未来短短的几年时间里,当我退休时,我可以回顾一项曾经对成千上万的儿童产生积极影响的事业。几乎没有其他职业选择可以如此有意义,所以如果你热爱你的学科,并想有机会使它传承下去,那么教学是一个不错的选择。
C.现在任何进入教育行业的人都要习惯按教案和评论授课。我认为这已经提高了教学标准,但个人感觉到了在课堂上的损失。30年的工作经验使我充满自信。我已经见识过各种新方法提出来又失败了(有时甚至相同的“新思想”反反复复不止一次)。
D.对我来说。你对学科的热爱和对学生成功的兴趣比所有的首字母缩略词如何组合起来更重要。这些将会使你成为一个好老师。也许对其他人还有些商量余地,但你必须拿出对学科全部的信心和激情促进你教学成功。
E.在教学中面临的主要挑战是时间。时间总是不够。如果你是全职批改作业,还想有足够的时间去做好教学工作,这真的很难。自从有孩子后,我就在兼职工作。我一周正式工作三天,休息的两天也总是工作,这加起来够得上其他大部分人工作全职一周的工作量了,而且薪水也不低,所以你可以做兼职,并且与家庭生活也是相协调的。当然有节省时间的捷径,如果我必须兼职工作,我就会用到捷径。但兼职工作让我很荣幸成为一个挑剔的阅卷人。批改一篇3000字的A类论文要花两个小时,所以如果你有l6个学生,一周一节课就要花费32小时去批改。
F.做一名兼职教师的好处是我有时间合理批改作业。有时我的反馈几乎和他们的文章一样长,但我真的想让孩子们做得很好。教学的最好效果是你激发孩子们的抱负,并对他们的生活产生影响。你教过的学生经常来拜访你,给你发邮件,就说明了这些。生活发生改变是不错的,正如他们所说,这使一切都是值得的。
G.教学的核心是科目和学生。有很多新老师和教育学研究生来我们学校上课,有时当学生不是很了解自己的学科时,我必须承认我感到失望。我有一个新同事,她正在教授《动物庄园》,曾经问我“什么是马克思主义?”——她已经获得了一级学位。由此可见政府试图吸引拥有一级学位人才的倡议不一定实用。
H.然而几年后,许多人退出教学,因为工作很辛苦。所以我对刚做老师的同事们的建议是:
I.对教室里发生的事情要学会判断轻重缓急,要注意到哪些事情进行得不太顺利。只要意识到不管怎么说,你与孩子们和你的学科是联系在一起的,就不要沮丧。当你问自己:“我行吗?”的时候,想想即使拥有30年教学经验的老教师也会有害怕教学的那几天,你就会变得积极起来。如果你害怕教学的日子更多一点,那仅仅是个小问题。
J.确保教学不会压垮你。尤其当你在教授一门需要大量批改作业的学科时,你必须想想应对策略。所以计划好工作。让你的学生们互相批改打分,这真的很有效。如果在某一周你真的批改不了更多的作业时,让学生写篇报告然后在下节课进行演示。你必须提前考虑高峰期的工作负担,并制订相应的计划——向你更有经验的同事征求意见。
K.你必须保持幽默感,这是缓解课堂突发状况的有效方式。我知道当我成为父母后,我变成了一个更好的老师。我意识到孩子有时让你如此讨厌,即使是你自己的孩子。他们不是故意惹你讨厌;他们只是孩子。这并不意味着他们记恨你或是你的课堂。当你刚当上老师,尤其你还很年轻的时候,你把学生几乎看成是你的对手甚至一定要打败他们。但是你要小心你说过的话。你不能过分贬低学生,否则真的会伤害他们。
L.爱你的学科。如果你想在中学的教学中获得成功,你必须爱你的学科。你爱还是不爱孩子们能看出来。
M.你要知道你的学生都是独立的个体,他们的学习方式不同。你必须对此保持敏感。
N.不要只是程序化教学。我真的很担心政府所给的口头实惠与真实情况之间的差异。我真讨厌那些虚假许诺,并且和真实情况的鸿沟似乎越来越大。似乎最重要的是经过测试的东西。问题是,那些真正能影响一个人生活的东西,例如对学习的热爱、与文学的关系、是否具有同情心等,都是无法进行测试的。年轻教师都要小心不要迷失在程序和倡议里面。有经验的教师会很有信心应对学生在课堂上突然提出的但不在教学计划内的问题。学生能从中学到很多,但是这无法进行测试。
参考答案与解析
此旬意为“保持幽默感而不是贬低学生能够缓解课堂上的突发状况”,与K段第一句You’ve got to keep your sense of humour,which is a great way of relieving a situation.和最后一句You can’t belittle them too much of you Can really harm them.意思相近。因此,正确答案是K。
