After filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get—a teaching job in what I considered a distant wild area:western New Jersey.
My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English.
School started. I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep.
And then there was my sixth-grade class. I was struggling in my work as a young, idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw notes and whisper swear words (脏话) in the back of the room.
In college, I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behaviour. As the textbook had said, bad behaviour would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. But in fact, humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem to be reasonable (通情达理的).
By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, quickest to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students had showed very little good behaviour to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other, while the girls painted their nails or read magazines. I just pretended all these weren’t happening and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions.
My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger.
After twenty minutes, he left silently.
Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes. I felt mildly proud that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period, I knew I had to face him.

答案： 【参考范文】 After class, I walked to his office, took a deep breath and opened the door. My boss was sitting in his chair with no expressions, staring at me silently. I was wondering if he would fire me right away. Instead of saying anything, he handed me a letter, which added to my anxiety at that moment. However, my eyes were wide - open when I read it. It was not my walking papers but a letter with several suggestions about teaching, one of which was highlighted in red: An educator should respect students' feelings. Almost immediately, warmth rose inside me. Inspired by his advice, I walked towards the classroom, determined to make a change. The next day, my eyes wandered across the classroom. I cleared my throat and announced, “Let's begin with what you think about my literature lesson.” Suddenly, a complete silence fell, with a puzzled look on their faces. I encouraged, “Anything you'd like to say is welcomed!” Excitement spread through the classroom. The literature class soon amazingly came to life thanks to their sweet voices. It was at that time that I fully understood what my boss told me: Respecting the students instead of ignoring them will make a difference.
