Humour is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humour is either productive or self-defeating.
My favourite English teacher could draw humour out of the driest material. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary, Addison’s essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them funny. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, the stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with funny moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.
My least favourite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He asked us to keep journals. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, who always behaved in a funny or silly way.

答案： He saw it fit to make a joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage. ”Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven away my writing and teaching ever since.
