What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? I think the following would be generally accepted.
First, The teacher’s personality should be lively and 1 . This does not rule out people who are plain-looking, or 2 ugly, because many such people have great personal charm. But it does rule out such 3 as the over-excitable, sad, cold, and frustrated.
Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a 4 to have a genuine（真正的） capacity for sympathy, a capacity to 5 the minds and feelings of other people, especially, 6 of children. Closely 7 with this is the capacity to be tolerant（可容忍的）-not, indeed, of what is 8 , but of the weaknesses and immaturity of human nature which 9 people, and again especially children, to make mistakes.
Thirdly, I hold it essential for a teacher to be honest. There is no contradiction（矛盾） in my going on to 10 that a teacher should be a bit of an actor. That is part of the technique of 11 , which demands that every now and then a teacher 12 be able to put on an act-to enliven(使生动) a lesson, correct a fault, or award praise.
A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. This, I may say, is largely a matter of 13 and self-training, for we are 14 of us born like that.
Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on 15 . Teaching is a job at which one will never be 16 ; there is always something more to learn about it. There are 17 principal objects of study: the subjects which the teacher is teaching; the methods by which the subjects can best be taught and- 18 the most important- the children, young people, or 19 to whom the subjects are to be taught. The two fundamental principles of British education today are that education is education of the whole person, and that it is best 20 through full and active co-operation between two persons, the teacher and the learner.
