I went to the classroom with great confidence when I gave my first lesson to my English literature class. Since I had taught in America for many years, I had no 36 ______ about my ability to hold their attention and to 37 ______ them my admiration for the literature of my native language.
I was 38 ______ when the monitor shouted，“ Stand up！ ” The whole class 39 ______ as I entered the classroom. I was somewhat 40 ______ how I could get them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly 41 ______ my calmness and began what I thought was a fact- packed lecture, sure to gain their 42 ______ — perhaps even their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow(满面红光）which came from a sense of 43 ______ .
All ray students 44 ______ diaries. However, as I read their diaries, the rosy glow was gradually 45 ______ by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said，“ Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today. Her next lecture will 46 ______ be better. ” Greatly surprised，I read diary after diary, each expressing a 47 ______ theme. “ Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 48 ______ for all the works we'll study in class, “ I complained. “ How should they say I didn't 49 ______ them anything?"
After a long term ’ I gradually learned that my ideas about 50 ______ were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to 51 ______ questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions, while my students thought a teacher's job was to provide 53 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a great 54 ______ !
However, I also learned a lot, and my 55 ______ with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
