【英语时差8,16】得老师欢心的學生

Usually, pets are animals, such as birds or fish that we keep in our homes and take care of. Sometimes, schools will keep "class pets," where all the children take turns caring for this animal. A "teacher's pet," however, is not an animal, but a student in a class who is the favorite of one particular teacher. Of course, teachers are not supposed to have favorite students, and they should treat everyone equally². Unfortunately, some students try hard to become the "teacher's pet," hoping it will get them better grades. What is even more unfortunate, is that some teachers enjoy the attention those students give, and unconsciously³ start to favor¹ them. Often, the negative result is that other students resent⁴ and dislike the one who is a teacher's pet. to have one's teacher's hat on 是指「當起老師來；扮演起老師的角色」的意思。 any teacher worth his salt 是指「稱職」的意思。 experience is the best teacher 是指「經驗是良師」的意思。
