I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in 26 for 17 years, I had no 27 about my ability to hold their attention and to 28 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “ 29 !”
The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 30 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly 31 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect --- perhaps 32 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.
My students 33 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 34 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 35 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 36 theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 37 for all the works we will study in class,” I complained. “How 38 they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it 39 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 40 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 41 questions and provide enough background so that students could 42 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 43 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
44 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 45 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

An awkward reality is that only few, __54__, of the new college graduates could really fill the vacancies because the trainings they have received are entirely __55__ from the demands of the jobs.
