Are you an English teacher？ If “yes”， then take pride in yourself！

The other day， some of my colleagues and I took part in a teachers gathering held by the local education authourities， which was aiming at enhancing the communication between teachers from different schools. At the gathering， we chatted happily. Suddenly， an idea occurred to us that we could ask the teachers from other schools to guess which subject we teach at school. Surprisingly， all of those who were asked to could dope out my subject except one who just became a teacher last year. When I asked them how they managed to figure it out， they smiled and answered with just one word： “intuition”.

I always believe that all the English teachers have something in common that distinguishs them from other teachers. Look at the English teachers around you， make comparison with other teachers， and you may have some findings.

Now， as an English teacher for about 10 years， I will share my findings with you：

您是一位英語老師嗎？如果是，您應(yīng)該為自己感到驕傲！

不久前的某一天，我和我的一些同事參加了一個由當(dāng)?shù)亟逃块T舉辦的教師聚會，這個聚會的目的在于增強來自不同學(xué)校的老師間的交流。在聚會上，我們開心地聊天。突然，我們產(chǎn)生了一個想法：讓來自其他學(xué)校的老師猜猜我們在學(xué)校教什么學(xué)科。令人驚奇的是，除了一個去年剛當(dāng)老師的以外，所有被要求猜測的老師都猜出了我的任教科目。當(dāng)我問他們是如何猜出的時候，他們笑了，用一個詞來回答我 ——“直覺”。

我一直相信，幾乎所有的英語老師都有著將他們同其它科目的老師區(qū)分開來的共同點?？纯茨阒車挠⒄Z老師，將他們同其它科目的老師進行比較，你會有所發(fā)現(xiàn)。

現(xiàn)在，作為一個約十年教齡的英語老師，我將同你分享我的發(fā)現(xiàn)：

1. The adjectives such as “fashionable， pretty， handsome， lively， cool” etc. are an important part of the comments on English teachersappearances.

形容詞，如“時尚、漂亮、帥氣、活力、酷……”，是對英語老師外表評判時的重要用語。
