TOEFL essay: Characteristics of a good teacher Mon Apr 23, 2007 20:33 pm  TOEFL essay: Characteristics of a good teacher
 

What do you think are characteristics of a good teacher?

I have been a student for many years and studied with a lot of teachers, so I reckon that teaching is a difficult career. In my opinion, wide knowledge and suitable behaviour to students are two factors required of good teachers.

To begin with, wide knowledge is the priority because it plays an important role in their teaching. Their knowledge is not only restricted on what they teach in class or what is in the textbooks, but it is also what they gain from research, further study, sources and materials, etc. With such knowledge, they can teach every student in every level, from elementary to advanced. They can explain the lessons in the most thorough way, so that the lessons become adequate and concise, and their students are able to take in everything without difficulty. They can easily answer all queries from their students as well as become a good and reliable counselor for them. In Vietnam, there are many yearly teaching contests, for example “Golden Chalk”, which only good teacher will be qualified enough to take part in. If they win the competition, their names will be known, which makes a good fame for them in their profession.

Teaching often goes along with training, so their behaviour to students is taken into account. To good students, they need to pay attention to them and keep an eye on their process so as to help them better their study. By contrast, to lazy and disobedient ones, a strict attitude is needed. At that time, advice, punishment, and connect with their parents should be combined. My literature teacher is a typical example. She had a mischievous student about more than ten years ago. However, he becomes good and successful now, and he is always grateful to my teacher for her education.

I maintain that good teachers must be knowledgeable and sensible in the way they behave to their students. With such characteristics, they are able to make their students good in knowledge and conduct. I also depend on those factors to choose for myself an ideal teacher.

Their knowledge is not only restricted on/TO what they teach in class or what is in the textbooks, but it is also what they gain from research, further study, sources and materials, etc. With such knowledge, they can teach every student in/AT every level, from elementary to advanced. They can explain the lessons in the most thorough way, so that the lessons become adequate and concise, and their students are able to take in everything without difficulty.

If they win the competition, their names will be known, which PROVIDES a good REPUTATION for them in their profession.

Teaching often goes HAND IN HAND with training, so their behaviour to students is taken into account. To good students, they need to pay attention and keep an eye on their process so as to help them IMPROVE their study. By contrast, to lazy and disobedient ones, a strict attitude is needed. At that time, advice, punishment, and CONTACTS with their parents should be combined. My literature teacher is a typical example. She had a mischievous student about more than ten years ago. However, he HAS become good and successful now, and he is always grateful to my teacher for her education.

I maintain that good teachers must be knowledgeable and sensible in the way they behave to their students. With such characteristics, they are able to HELP their students BECOME good in knowledge and conduct. I also depend on those factors to choose for myself an ideal teacher.

Very well done.
