A: Good morning,ladies and gentlemen. I'm greatly honored to be here today. First please let me introduce myself. I graduated from Beijing Normal University with a major in mathematics. Teaching has always been my dream and I hope to make it my life-long career. I sincerely hope you can help me realize my dream. Thank you.
B: Good. Can you tell us a joke? We know humor plays a key role in teaching.
A: Certainly. Here goes the joke; In the first English class of a new semester, the English teacher asked all the students to introduce themselves in English. It went smoothly. Then a student came up to the platform and said, “My name is Wang Cheng. Wang means king, and Cheng means success.” But his next sentence made everyone burst into laughter, “You can call me WC for short.”
B: Very funny. I hope you can put your sense of humor into practical teaching.
A: I will try my best to do that.
C: What do you think are the most important qualities for a teacher?
A: I think a caring heart is the most important quality a teacher should possess, for if you don't really love your students, you can't devote yourself to teaching. Then they should be diligent, making learning a habit, therefore they can maintain their professional competence. A teacher should also have strong interpersonal skills, and then they can communicate smoothly with their students.
D: Good. Was there a course that you found particularly challenging?
A: Initially I was completely overwhelmed by the introductory chemistry course that I took last year. No matter how hard I studied, I seemed to be getting nowhere. I failed the first three quizzes. So I tried a new approach. Instead of just studying by myself, I asked a friend who's a chemistry major to help me with my studies. I also began seeking help from the professor after class. And I found that more time spent in the lab was critical. I ended up with A plus in the course and thought I achieved a solid understanding of the material. More than that, I learned that tacking a new field of study sometimes requires a new approach, not just hard work, and that the help of others can be crucial!
D: It seems that you have the ability to overcome difficulties, then if you meet some difficult students, how would deal with them? For example, they deliberately find faults with you, things like that.
A: First I should keep calm and not hit the ceiling, and then I will tell him that I need your support, just like you need other's support. Would you like to reject my support and help? I will touch them by my sincerity gradually.
E: You seem to be capable of dealing with those students. What else are you proficient in? you know a good teacher should be specialized and versatile.
A: In terms of this, you have found the right person. Besides my major, I'm also a great story-teller, I can dance, sing and play, so I believe I can play well with them. Haha.
E: Excellent, but don't just play with our students, because their parents will not allow that to happen. That's all. Nice talking to you.
A: Me too.
A: 各位早上好。今天能来到这里面试我深感荣幸。首先请允许我做一下自我介绍。我毕业于北京师范大学数学专业。教学一直就是我的梦想,而且我也希望这能成为我终生的事业。我真诚地希望你们能帮我实现我的梦想。谢谢。
B: 好的。你能给我们讲一个笑话吗?我们知道幽默在教学中起着重要的作用。
A: 当然。笑话是这样的:在新学期的第一节英语课上,英语老师让所有的学生用英语做自我介绍。刚开始很顺利。然后一个学生走上台说:“我叫王成。王是王者的王,成是成功的成。” 但是她的下句话使大家都忍不住笑出来了,“你们可以简称我WC。”
B: 很有意思。我希望你能你的幽默感运用到实际教学中去。
A:我会炒这方面努力的。
C: 你认为一名老师最应该具备的素质是什么?
A:我觉得一名老师最重要的应该是有一颗博爱的心,因为只有你真心爱你的学生,你才能全身心地投入到教学中。此外他们应该勤奋,不断学习,这样才能保持自己的专业能力。老师同样应该有较强的人际交往能力,这样他们就能和学生顺畅的沟通。
D: 不错。你是否发现某一课程特别有挑战性?
A: 最初,我被去年的那门《化学入门》彻底难倒了。无论我怎样努力学,似乎都毫无进展。开始的三次知识竞赛我还失败了。于是,我尝试另辟蹊径,我不再独自埋头苦干了,而是请来一位主修化学的朋友帮忙。同事,课后我向教授请教。我发现,多花点时间做实验是非常关键的。最后,这一刻我考了个A+,并且完全理解了学习内容。另外我懂得了一个的道理:进入一个新的学科领域,有时需要新的途径而不仅仅是努力学习,同时别人的帮助也可能是个决定性因素。
D: 似乎你具备了解决问题的能力,那么如果你遇到了一些比较难对付的学生,你会怎么做呢?例如,他们故意找你的麻烦等等这些事情。
A: 首先我应该保持冷静,而不是大发雷霆。然后我会告诉他们我需要你们的支持,就像你需要别人的支持一样。你想要拒绝我的支持和帮助吗?这样我会逐渐用我的真诚打动他们。
E: 你好像能够应付那些学生。你还有什么技能吗?你也知道老师应该是一专多能的。
A:从这点来说,你们找对人了。除了我的专业,我还擅长讲故事,我会跳舞、唱歌、玩。所以我相信我能和他们玩到一起呀。哈哈。
E: 非常棒。但是不能光顾了和学生玩呀,因为我们的家长是不会答应的。好了,很高兴能和你交谈。
A:我也是。
