What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? Probably no two people would draw up approximately similar lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted.(1)____
Firstly, the teacher's personality should be pleasant live and attractive.(2)____ This does not rule on people who are physically plain, or even ugly, because many such have great personal charm, but it does not include those who are over-exciting, melancholy, frigid sarcastic.cynical frustrated, and over-bearing: I would say too, that it includes all of dull or purely negative personality.(3)____(4)____(5)____Secondly, it is not merely desirable and essential far a teacher to have a genuine capacity for sympathy-in the literacy meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds and feelings of other people, especially since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds and feelings of children.(6)____(7)____ Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on laming. Teaching is a job which one will never be perfect, there is always something more to leam about it.(8)____ There are three principal objects of study: the subject, or subjects, which the teacher is teaching; the methods by which they can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching to; and-by far the most important-the children,young people,or adults to those they are to be taught.(9)____(10)____
