缅因英语口语 第 49 课：teachers 教师 - 2

A: who was the best teacher that you ever had?

B: that would have to be miss.baymler, my fourth grade teacher.

A: what was she like?

B; she was patient, kind, fun, smart, caring, and yet strict, too. I really learned a lot from her.

A: what kind of things did you learn?

B: she taught us that you can do anything that you want to do.

A: anything? Do you really believe that we can do anything ?

B: if you really want to do something and you work hard at it, I believe you can do it.

A; you said she was strict. Did she have a lot of rules?

B; she had some rules that helped us to feel comfortable. For example, the students had to treat each other with respect, or they would be disciplined.

A: I see. She sounds like she really cared about her students.

B; yes. She treated us all fairly; she don't have any teacher's pets.

A: really? Doesn't every teacher have a teacher's pet?

B; well. To be honest, I usually sucked up to teachers because I wanted them to give me good grades. However, miss.baymler didn't treat me any differently. She really didn't have any teacher's pets.

A: do you know what she is doing now?

B; as a matter of fact, I do. After she taught our class, she got married and moved to another city. Then, she started writing children's book.

A: have you ever read one of the books?

B; of course! Both children and adults enjoy her books.

A; why don't you recommend one to me?

B; ok! I'll bring one to you next time.
