Here I want to try to give you an answer to the question: what personal qualities are【C1】_

_____ in a teacher？ Probably no two people would【C2】______ exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally【C3】______ First, the teacher’s personality should be pleasantly【C4】______ and attractive. This does not rule out people who are physically【C5】______ , or even ugly, because many such have great personal【C6】______ But it does rule out such types as the【C7】______ , melancholy, frigid, sarcastic, frustrated, and over bearing: I would say too, that it【C8】______ all of dull or purely negative personality.

Secondly, it is not merely desirable 【C9】______ essential for a teacher to have a genuine【C10】______ for sympathy——a capacity to tune 【C11】______ to the minds and feelings of other people, especially, to the minds and feelings of children.【C12】______ related with this is the capacity to be【C13】______ not, indeed, of what is wrong, but of the frailty and immaturity of human nature which【C14】______ people, and again especially children, to make mistakes.

Thirdly, I【C15】______ it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This does not mean being a saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strength and【C16】______ , and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be【C17】______ . There is no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a【C18】______ of an actor. That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to 【C19】______ an act--to enliven a lesson, correct a fault, or【C20】______ praise. Children, especially young children, live in a world that is rather larger than life.
