Passage 1
What Is an Ideal¹ Teacher Like?
I. Tapescript
The ideal teacher may be young or old, tall or short, fat or thin. He should know his subject, but he can make mistakes if he is willing² to learn. His personality³ is as important as his scholarship⁴. The ideal teacher must be enthusiastic. He must never teach anything he himself is not interested in. He should be a bit of an actor and he should not be afraid to show his feelings and express his likes and dislikes. He must like his students and respect them, but he must also respect himself and take pride in his work. Otherwise, he cannot respect his students and win respect from them. The ideal teacher should have an understanding of his students and be able to relate to them. He needs students' understanding' too. The ideal teacher should be kind, encouraging, and helpful and he should motivate⁵ his students to seek knowledge. The ideal teacher should see his students as individuals and acknowledge⁶ their differences. He must know how to encourage the self-development and growth⁷ of each of his students. The ideal teacher is one who grows, learns, and improves himself along with his students. So what about the teachers around you?
Passage 2
The Open University in Britain
I. Tapescript
Nowadays the Open University in Britain plays an important role in British education. In 1963 the leader of the Labour Party made a speech explaining a plan for a 'university of the air an educational institution which would make use of television, radio and correspondence⁸ courses to give educational opportunity to those people who, for one reason or another, did not have a chance to receive further education. But at that time many people laughed at the plan.
By 1969 the plan was well advanced and by August 1970 the Open University, as it is now called, had received forty thousand applications. But only twenty-four thousand could be accepted then for the four introductory courses: social sciences, arts, science and mathematics⁹. Many clerks, farm workers, housewives¹⁰, teachers, policemen attended the first class over the radio or on TV in January 1971. Meanwhile study centers were set up all over the country so that students could spend one week a year at one of the university's summer schools.
It is probably the cheapest and most far-reaching method to promote¹¹ education.
