C
Clara has worked as an English teacher in France for more than twenty years. Recently, she shared her own story with a Chinese girl Joyce, the chief editor of the school newspaper.
Joyce: Good afternoon, Mrs Clara. I've learned that you are from Germany. As an experienced English teacher, you must have several good ways of learning English. Could you share some with us?
Clara: Well, I started learning English when I was about six or seven years old. A new language school had opened near my home. I started attending classes twice a week, together with some neighbourhood friends. I enjoyed these classes. During my teenage years, I attended several international youth meetings. I also went to Australia as an exchange student. I learned a lot from communicating(交流) with native English speakers.
Joyce: No wonder that you speak English like a native speaker. Then what's the best part of being an English teacher?
Clara: I have met many wonderful people throughout my career(职业生涯). Teachers are a fun group of people. They often get excited about a challenge(挑战), though they might complain a bit at first. Many teachers are creative and always find a way to make things work. I've learned a lot from them. And then there are the students. There is nothing better in life than to see them realize their dreams and achieve something they have worked hard for.
Joyce: You are a good teacher. What advice do you always give to your students?
Clara: I don't know if you'll call it advice, but it's a truth to live by: As a language learner, you have to be comfortable with making mistakes. No one could learn to speak a language well overnight. You need to speak a little more every day.
Joyce: Thank you for your advice. I believe it can help the schoolmates who want to improve their English a lot.
