                 To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must beable to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clearspeaker, 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 meaningclear.

  Watch a good teacher, and you willsee that he does not sit still before his class： he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walksabout, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, andhis face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness,the quality (音色)and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he istalking about.

  The fact that a good teacher hassome of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able toact well on the stage, for there are very important differences between theteacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he haslearnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays acertain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice areusually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words andactions seem natural on the stage.

  A good teacher works in quite adifferent way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask andanswer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something,they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, whichis his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goesalong.

  I have known many teachers who werefine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because theycould not keep strictly to what another had written.
