Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! Today I'd like to share my personal experience of happiness and bitterness of being an English teacher. I remember, five years ago, when I stood at the teacher's desk for the first time, maybe because I was too young, maybe because I was too inexperienced, the students in my class paid no attention to me, didn't behave themselves at all. I felt ashamed and helpless. In order to save my face, I just criticized the students seriously whenever they talked in class or even moved a little. I thought sooner or later, they would listen to me. Yes, I could control the class now, but the students and the atmosphere became strange. No, they were not listening to me. It was too quiet. The breathless silence urged me to consider the way I was teaching.
Then 1 August 2003, I got the chance to study the New Course of English. Until then could I realized that it was my frozen eyes that make the students flinch（退缩） , it was my stiff face that trod out the enthusiasm in the children's hearts. How to stimulate my class and show my warmth, so that they can enjoy their study in English? I had a deep thought. It's smile. There is a kindness called smile. It is the most beautiful language in the world. It can make distance no distance. "Just awake the students with a smiling face!" I said to myself. The next day, when I stood on the stage with a smiling face, when I asked the questions with a smile, when I encouraged the children in a friendly way, the students were just shocked! But I could find there was more happiness and excitement in their eyes!
Gradually, they got used to it, and participated in my teaching. As I predicted, that class became a lovely one. I was moved, and said "Thank you for listening, boys and girls!" In the following days, I keep on working even harder. I prepare my lessons carefully. I use Flash, pictures, riddles, and interesting stories to make great efforts to help the students to learn more. But I will never forget one thing: smile, give them a smile, to give them strength, to let them feel happy, to make them confident. The children do enjoy the English lesson now, when they tell me the answers in great excitement, I can feel their gladness, and my smile is more sincerely than ever! There is kindness called smile. From the children's yearning eyes, I understand, it is smile that makes my students and I get closer, it is smile that fills the kindness to my English class, it is smile that shapes me popular English teacher finally. That's all. Thank you very much!
