大学英语精读：第三册 UNIT 38600字 Every teacher probably asks himself time and again: What are the reasons for choosing teaching as a career? Do the rewards teaching outweigh the trying comments? Answering these questions is not a simple task. Lets see what the author says. 毕业论文 Why I Teach 论文代写Peter G. BeidlerWhy do you teach? My friend asked the question when I told him that I didnt want to be considered for an administrative position. He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a step up toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power. 毕业Certainly I dont teach because teaching is easy for me. Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: mechanic, carpenter, writer. For me, teaching is a red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession. Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late I stay up preparing. Sweaty-palm, because Im always nervous before I enter the classroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool that I am. Sinking-stomach, because I leave the classroom an hour later convinced that I was even more boring than usual. 简历大全 /html/jianli/Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel compelled to share. Sometimes I am amazed that my students actually take notes on what I say in class! 简历大全 /html/jianli/Why, then, do I teach? 简历大全 /html/jianli/I teach because I like the pace of the academic calendar. June, July, and August offer an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.I teach because teaching is a profession built on change. When the material is the same, I change and, more important, my students change. 作文 /zuowen/I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. As a teacher, Im my own boss. If I want my freshmen to learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say I cant? Such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures. 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer. The world is full of right answers to bad questions. While teaching, I sometimes find good questions. 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ I teach because I enjoy finding ways of getting myself and my students out of the ivory tower and into the real world. I once taught a course called Self-Reliance in a Technological Society. My 15 students read Emerson, Thoreau, and Huxley. They kept diaries. They wrote term papers. 论文代写But we also set up a corporation, borrowed money, purchased a run-down house and practiced self-reliance by renovating it. At the end of the semester, we would the house, repaid our loan, paid or taxes, and distributed the profits among the group. 简历大全 /html/jianli/ So teaching gives me pace, and variety, and challenge, and the opportunity to keep on learning. 毕业I have left out, however, the most important reasons why I teach. 毕业论文One is Vicky. My first doctoral student, Vicky was an energetic student who labored at her dissertation on a little-known 14th century poet. She wrote articles and sent them off to learned journals. She did it all herself, with an occasional nudge from me. But I was there when she finished her dissertation, learned that her articles were accepted, got a job and won a fellowship to Harvard working on a book developing ideas shed first had as my student. 作文 /zuowen/Another reason is George, who started as an engineering student, then switched to English because he decided he liked people better than things. 总结大全 /html/zongjie/There is Jeanne, who left college, but was brought back by her classmates because they wanted her to see the end of the self-reliance house project. I was here when she came back. I was there when she told me that she later became interested in the urban poor and went on to become a civil rights lawyer. 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/There is Jacqui, a cleaning woman who knows more by intuition than most of us learn by analysis. Jacqui has decided to finish high school and go to college. 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/ These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of me. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe.A promotion out of teaching would give me money and power. But I have money. I get paid to do what I enjoy: reading, talking with people, and asking question like, What is the point of being rich? 作文 /zuowen/And I have power. I have the power to nudge, to fan sparks, to suggest books, to point out a pathway. What other power matters? 毕业But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teachers life and begins to breathe. Perhaps love is the wrong word: magic might be better. 作文 /zuowen/ I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.NEW WORDS 毕业 administrativea. of the management of affairs 行政的，管理的 总结大全 /html/zongjie/administration 作文 /zuowen/n. 管理（部门），行政（机关）puzzle 毕业 vt. fill with doubt and confusion 使迷惑 作文 /zuowen/step （-） up 简历大全 /html/jianli/ n. promotion;
