He must never teach anythingthe is not interested in. He should be a little bi of an actor and he should not be afraid of showing his feelings and expressing his likes and dislikes. He must like his students and respect them, but he must also respect himself and take pride in his work. Otherwise, he can not respect his students. An ideal teacher should have an understanding of his students and be able to relate to them. He should regard his students as individuals and acknowledge their differences.

[点评] 文章告诉人们作一名好老师应具备的素质，虽然主观看法有些多，不过基本上是人们共同的看法。 [参考译文] 理想的老师 理想的老师可以是任何一位从事教学工作的人，不论他年轻或年长，也不论他是高是矮是胖是瘦。 但理想的老师一定要热情，他不应教他不感兴趣的东西。他应有点演员的素质，应不怕流露自己的感情，表达自己的爱憎。他必须爱学生并尊重他们。然而他也必须尊重自己并为自己的工作而感到自豪。否则，他就不可能尊重他的学生。理想的老师应理解自己的学生并能与他们建立联系。他应把学生看成是有独立个性的人，并了解他们之间的差别。他还必须知道如何鼓励每位学生去自我发展和成长。 总而言之，理想的教师是一位和蔼可亲，善于鼓励，乐于帮助学生的人。他与学生们一起成长，自我完善。
