I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no _21_ about my ability to hold their attention and to _22_ on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “_23_ !” and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat _24_ about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尴尬)was over, I quickly _25_ my calmness and began what I thought was a fact – packed lecture, sure to gain their respect – perhaps 26 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a (n) _27 of achievements.

My students _28  diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually _29_ by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. _30_ her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a _31_ subject. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework(哲学体系)of Western thought and laid the historical _32_for all the works we’ll study in class.” I complained. “How _33_ they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it _34_ became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as _35_ of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise _36_ questions and provide enough background so that students could _37_ their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide _38_ information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

_39  , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a _40  American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
