六級寫作經(jīng)典范文及點評：我為什么當老師

　　教師，是一個崇高的職業(yè)。因為教師是為社會培養(yǎng)人才的園丁，是人類靈魂的工程師。那么，當一名老師又能給教師自己帶來什么呢？

　　Why I Teach

　　I teach because I like the pace of the academic calendar. June, July, and August offer an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.

　　I teach because teaching is a profession built on change. When the material is the same, I change — and, more important, my students change.

　　I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. As a teacher, I’m my own boss. If I want my freshmen to learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say I can’t? Such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures.

　　I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer. The world is full of right answers to bad questions. While teaching, I sometimes find good questions.

　　So teaching gives me pace and variety, and challenge, and the opportunity to keep on learning①.

　　However, the most important reasons why I teach are that my students grow up and change in front of me. Some have become doctoral students with excellent success and found good jobs; some have become interested in the urban poor and served as civil rights lawyers; some have decided to finish high school and go to college.

　　But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher’s life and begins to breathe. Perhaps love is the wrong word: magic might be better.

　　I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.

　　行文點評

　　文章第一段到第四段都采用了“I teach because...”的句型開頭，句式統(tǒng)一，在內容上構成了并列。每段的第一句即為該段的主題句，先指出自己想要當老師的原因，接著再具體進行解釋。在第五段中，作者用So概括了上述原因，再次重申“Why I Teach”，呼應主題。第六段開頭借助“However”一詞的過渡，指出教書最重要的理由，和前文構成了語義上的遞進。文章最后一段還是用I teach because...結尾，與段首相呼應，使文章顯得有始有終。

　　好文妙譯

　　我為什么當老師

　　我教書，是因為我喜愛學校日程的安排。六月、七月和八月這三個月的暑假提供了一個思考、研究和創(chuàng)作的機會。

　　我教書，是因為教學是建立在變化基礎上的職業(yè)。雖然教材還是原來的不變，但我自身卻變了，更重要的是，我的學生變了。

　　我教書，是因為我喜歡有讓自己犯錯的自由，喜歡自己吸取教訓的自由，喜歡激勵自己和激勵學生的自由。作為教師，我可以自行做主。如果我想要求一年級學生通過自己編寫課本的方法來學習寫作，誰會說我不能那樣做呢?這樣的課程也許會徹底失敗，但我們都可以從失敗中獲得教益。

　　我教書，是因為我喜歡提出學生必須絞盡腦汁方能回答的問題。我們這個世界充滿了對付拙劣問題的正確答案。我在教學過程中，有時也發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些好的問題。所以說，教書讓生活變得有節(jié)奏、豐富多彩；教書向我提出了挑戰(zhàn)，也給了我不斷學習的機會。

　　然而，我教書最重要的理由是，我的學生在我面前成長、發(fā)展、變化。有些學生成了成就斐然的博士，找到了好工作；有些對城市貧民發(fā)生了興趣，當了維護公民權力的律師；有些決定讀完高中后繼續(xù)上大學。

　　教書還帶來了超越金錢和權力以外的東西：那便是愛。不僅是愛學習、愛書本、愛思想，還有老師對出類拔萃的學生的愛。這樣的學生走進了老師的生活，開始成長起來。愛這個字也許用得不恰當，說是魔力也許更為貼切。

　　我教書，是因為與開始成長的學生朝夕相處打成一片，我偶爾發(fā)現(xiàn)自己也和他們一起開始成長了。

　　詞匯斟酌

　　��calendar n. 日歷，月歷

　　��stimulate vt.刺激，激勵

　　��freshman n. 新生, 大學一年級學生

　　��doctoral adj. 博士的

　　佳句臨摹

　�、佟咀⑨尅縦eep on (doing sth)繼續(xù)(做某事)

　　【臨摹】She kept on working although she was tired. 她累了,卻仍在繼續(xù)工作。

　　思如泉涌

　　Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. 生活無目標，猶如航海無羅盤。

　　A burden of one’s choice is not felt. 愛挑的擔子不嫌重。
