上周的托福独立写作又回到了教育这个老话题上。俗话说,严师出高徒。那么,一名老师,是否可以兼顾可爱和智慧呢?答案是Yes,难道TFT的老师们不就是这样的吗Y(^_^)Y。我们来看下这道题目吧~
真题回顾
Do you agree or disagree?
It is difficult for teachers to be both popular(well-liked) and effective to help students learning.
老师在受人欢迎的同时,还能很好地帮助学生学习,这很难吗?这样的题目表述在过去的独立写作中并不常见。题目的本质是在问同时做到两件事情是不是很难,言外之意就是在问,这两件事情是不是相互冲突的呢?说到这里,这道题目就容易解答多了吧~
如果我们认定这不难,那么马上可以得到的一个点就是,popular和effective是相辅相成的。这可以拆分成两个点,effective型的老师才能受欢迎,popular型的老师更容易帮助学生。在还差一个分论点的时刻,就该搬出让步段来救场啦~同时做到两件事情看起来好像挺难,但是只要有恰当的技巧,这都不是事儿。
Effective的老师自带大佬光环。每个人都本能的求知欲,每个人都想变成更好的自己。自然而然的,学生们会更倾向于追随effective的老师。这样的老师会更受欢迎也是意料之中的啦~
Popular的老师更能帮助学生。学生们都更喜欢找和蔼可亲的老师交流问题,而非跟一个冷冰冰的老师互动。所以呢,受欢迎的老师可以得到学生的信任,学生们会更愿意听从老师的教导。
想要做到上述所说,既能鞭策学生学习,又能讨人喜欢,需要的呢,是一点点soft skills!
popular,所以effective
Since students liked me as a teacher, they were open to learning more. I often heard comments about how my attitude and outlook made them better students. Many of my teaching colleagues were amazed that I interacted with students so easily. By being good communicators, keeping a positive attitude, and showing students how to use skills in the real world experience of a classroom, teachers are educating students on how to effectively use skills on a regular basis.
After all, when I hear from former students about how my teaching impacted them, they rarely talk about the subject matter I taught them. They talk about how I taught them about life and how to be successful.
语料:
good communicators
优秀的交流对象
on a regular basis
时常,有规律地
keeping a positive attitude
保持积极的态度
soft skills
是兼顾二者的秘诀

        The reason I had such success with my teenage students was because of my “soft skills.” Soft skills are those characteristics such as hard work, humor, communication, flexibility, time management, positive attitude, and other intangible skills that help a person function effectively in virtually every employment and social settings. They are contrasted with “hard skills” such as adding numbers, conducting scientific experiments, welding, etc. 
        Since our educational system is geared mainly toward “hard skills,” employers often lament the lack of soft skills among their employees. When was the last time any school offered a class on having the right attitude, flexibility, or any other soft skill? It’s a shame because with the generally lousy job market, soft skills could really make a difference to our students and give them a big edge.
        We’re so used to teaching certain subjects (and their variants) that we refuse (on an institutional level anyway) to consider teaching other subjects, especially ones considered “fluff.” And, now the state has stepped in and mandated content, effectively leaving no room for the teaching of soft skills even if a school wanted it. Some schools are even starting to focus more on soft skills (often labeled as social skills) since studies are showing their importance in future success.
