Some people believe that international sports creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.
One country received its second-place medal with visible indignation after the hockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions.They were convinced that one of their goal should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said: “This wasn’t hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disturbance.It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket.It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game.The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for.But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.

How a good teacher acts in class B. Acting: repetition of fixed words and movements C. Teaching: a student-centered creative process D. Similarities between teaching and acting E. (=AB)Differences between teaching and acting F. (=AC).A good teacher, not necessarily a good actor |
80______To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actors: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
81______Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, his hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feeling.Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note if his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
82______The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well in the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand.What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural; on the stage.
83______A good teacher works in quite a different way.His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so.The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which in his class.He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
84______As a good teacher presently, you must take your audience as your friends, take care of them, help them and give them enough freedom and space.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
