It is very important to make a student feel safe in the classroom, because students study well in the environment where they feel safe and respected. All students including those with learning difficulties can study well if they feel mentally and emotionally comfortable in the classroom. In addition, when feeling safe in an atmosphere, they can openly express their concerns. Therefore, teachers are required to devote time to making students feel comfortable in class and must view it as an investment in strengthening the teacher-student relationship.
What makes a student feel safe in the classroom depends upon the quality of the relationship he shares with his teachers. To this end, it’s quite necessary to build trust in the classroom. Trust building is a slow process which can be achieved through healthy interaction between students and teachers. Also developing mutual (互相的) respect for each other is necessary. Teachers must try to build small but real life connections with the students and when one is able to do that, it creates a more relaxed (轻松的) atmosphere that supports studies. Gradually, students will feel a greater level of trust in teachers.
A positive environment is also very important for students to feel safe in the classroom. To create such an environment, teachers must display positive messages and quotes in the classroom and even ask students to contribute them. Make it a rule that only positive things will be talked about in the classroom. Prevent students from talking about other students’ private lives in an unkind way and stop them from bullying (欺凌) each other. Also, the most important is that teachers must try to make all students feel like they are an important part of the class.

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Teenage life is the “awkward stage” of a person’s development. This is the transition (过渡) from being an innocent, playful child to becoming a fully grown and fully matured adult. However, when at this stage of life, one cannot truly call himself an adult yet nor can he call himself a child. This is why there is often a barrier or a gap for teenagers.
Sometimes I feel my parents don’t understand me. Whether it is because of a communication gap or a generation gap, I think they cannot grasp what I’m trying to imply sometimes. They try to force change upon me instead of just letting it happen naturally. I know in myself that I have certain weaknesses that I have to improve on and I’m trying to but sometimes they just don’t understand.
Teenage life is a difficult thing. Just as adults have a lot of responsibilities (责任); so do we and even more. We not only have to look after our physical changes, but also have to deal with our mental, emotional and psychological changes as well. Thus, they can only imagine how we can handle such a stressful life.
Some people are even more unfortunate, because they’re not only misunderstood by their parents, relatives, but also by their peers. More often than not, they’re usually alone and are having difficulty socializing with other people. When one has problems, usually the family is the support system. But for these people, they have no one to turn to for help, no one to share their problems with, and no one to release their stress or worries. This creates a psychological (心理的) imbalance that can build up inside that person, which can lead to depression. So to prevent this, we need to develop relationships with other people because we need friends to help us and be with us.
