北师大版高中英语模块5--Unit 15 Learning Lesson3-2

[00:00.00]Now,when I'm preparing a programme,
[00:03.86]I think about how Mr Jenkins would have done it
[00:06.72]Sometimes,I wish I could phone him
[00:08.10]and ask for his opinion!
[00:10.83]My Pupil
[00:12.45]Brain Jenkins,science teacher
[00:14.44]at Overton Comprehensive¹
[00:17.30]When Graham came into my class
[00:18.92]he was a bit "difficult".
[00:21.20]But when he got interested,it all changed.
[00:23.65]He was extremely² bright,
[00:25.77]and he should have done much better
[00:26.53]in all of his other subjects.
[00:29.01]I've read a couple of his books
[00:30.17]and seen him on TV.
[00:31.44]I say to my wife,"Oh,look,I used to teach him!"
[00:35.30]I certainly wish I was as successful
[00:36.95]with all my pupils as with Graham.
[00:39.84]It's difficult teaching³ nowadays.
[00:42.12]There are discipline⁴ problems
[00:43.65]and not enough money.
[00:45.67]The governement should give more money
[00:47.04]for science education.
[00:49.36]I also wish the classes were smaller,
[00:51.41]it's difficult doing lessons in laboratories⁵
[00:53.50]with big groups.
[00:55.70]My wife often wishes
[00:56.66]I had chosen a less stressful career.
[00:59.58]But I love teaching.
[01:01.09]It's a great feeling when you know
[01:02.40]you've taught something well.
[01:04.34]It also makes me proud
[01:05.37]when I see my pupils doing well,like Graham.
[01:08.31]I feel that I've achieved something.
[01:08.31]
