Liberal (自由) education is designed not only to teach and learn knowledge, but also to develop a person’s character. Its aim is to 1 each student to think for himself and make wise decisions. Now liberal education has a great 2 on the world.
Much work has been done to 3 a better way of teaching. In a liberal class, students are 4 to have their own thoughts and own ideas when they have 5 which are often held in the form of group discussion. They are properly guided to 6 the knowledge learned. Punishment no longer exists (存在). 7 and students are just like friends.
The idea is of course a perfect one if it can really be carried out. However, it 8 exists in the imagination and will never be realized. We must admit (承认) that 9 should at least be guided properly. Just close your eyes and think how many students will 10 the duties of a student if they are not pushed. 11 is the use of advice only if it is not supported by a reasonable 12 of control and punishment?
It is 13 for us to judge the success and failure of the kind of education now, but 14 the bad behavior of children, which is really the 15 of liberal education, we can see that something must be done to help these children.

While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I. Because I was in great need ofand wanted to do something useful, I applied(申请).
Three days later, a letter. It asked me to see theat Croydon. It proved to be a (n) journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk ofa quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principalopened the door. He wasand round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into groups and teach them at three different, and I was notat the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon most of my friends would be themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “You’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”

The night of graduation, I was afraid. Two hundred people were sitting out there. I felt tense and I wanted to run away, 1 I couldn’t! After all, my own children were sitting in front of me with many other persons. I couldn’t be a coward(懦夫) before 2 .
When I ended the speech, I was3 at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life.
Flowers arrived4 my brothers and sister. My husband gave me silk roses. The reporters came with 5 and recorders and lots of questions. There were tears and hugs and congratulations.
Sometimes, I sit down and 6 the tape of my graduation speech. I hear myself say to the audience, “Don’t’ give up your 7 in life. Anything can happen if you believe. It means hard work, but 8 sure that you can do it, with God’s help.”
And then, I remember mother’s 9 to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.”
