Probably no two people would【B1】______exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally【B2】______. First, the teachers personality should be pleasantly【B3】______and attractive. This does not rule out people who are physically【B4】______, or even ugly, because many such have great personal【B5】______. But it【B6】______rule out such types as the【B7】______, melancholy, frigid, sarcastic, frustrated and overbearing: I would say too, that it【B8】______all of dull or purely negative personality. Secondly, it is not merely desirable【B9】______essential for a teacher to have a genuine 【B10】______for sympathy—a capacity to tune【B11】______to the minds and feelings of other people, especially, to the minds and feelings of children. 【B12】______related with this is the capacity to be【B13】______—not, indeed, of what is wrong, but of the frailty(意志薄弱)and immaturity of human nature which【B14】______people, and again especially children, to make mistakes. Thirdly, I【B15】______it essential for a teacher to he both intellectually and morally honest. This does not mean being a saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strength, and【B16】______, and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be【B17】______There is no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a 【B18】______of an actor. That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to【B19】______an act—to enliven a lesson , correct a fault, or【B20】______praise. Children , especially young children , live in a world that is rather larger than life. 【B1】
