　　To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor, you must be able to 1 the attention and interest of your students, you must be a 2 speaker, with a good, strong, 3 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 4 what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

　　 5 a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still 6 his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his 7 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will 8 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is 9 about.

What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 16 on the stage.

　　A good teacher 17 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 18 :they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t obey something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of the students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 19 it as he goes along.

　　I have known many teachers who were fine 20 in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline（规定）: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
