READ AND EXPLORE
My Teacher
I haven’t seen Mr Jenkins since I left school, but I often think about him. I wasn’t very good at most school subjects before I met Mr Jenkins. I suppose I was a bit lazy, especially in maths. The only thing I can remember from school maths is that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees! But when I was 15 and went into Mr Jenkins’ class, I really became interested in a subiect for the first time.
Before Mr Jenkins taught me, science had simply been a subject full of strange words to me. I had no idea what hydrogen was, and I didn’t really want to know, either! I found it all so boring and difficult. But Mr Jenkins made evervthing interesting. He used to explain things which seemed difficult with lots of practical examples and in simple language. One day, he took us outside. and we built a rocket! I remember that he let me pour some fuel into the rocket, and then another student lit a match to set it off. It was great fun.
I know that I wasn’t a willing student, but l wasn’t slow to earn new things, The proplem was that I lacked confidence in myself. Mr Jenkins made me feel that I had my own strengths. I was interested in the study of the stars and planets and he asked me to give a presentation to the class. That was really the first time I tried to explain science to an audience and now it’s my job! Often when I’m preparing a programme, I think about how Mr Jenkins would have done it. Sometimes I think, if only I could call him and ask for his opinion!
Graham Lawrence,
a science writer
The texts’ writers are Graham Lawrence and Brian Jenkins. Graham was once Mr Jenkins’ student. They talk about the memories that they have of each other. The texts were written because the student and the teacher remembered how they influenced each other.

Mr Jenkins asked Graham to give a presentation to the class.
Graham began to explain science to an audience.
My Student
I’ve read a couple of Graham’s books and seen him on TV. I always say to my wife,“Oh look, I used to teach him!”I remember Graham was very difficult before he came into my class, I had heard stories about his bad behaviour, Once I caught him and his friends seeing who could jump the farthest off the school stage! But when he got interested, he changed. The first day he walked into my class, he was dragging his schoolbag behind him and looking bored, but as soon as I set up an experiment to show how the human stomach works using acid and an onion, he gave me his full attention. He loved science! He was very bright and he had done very well in science subjects.
However. I have not done as well with all my students as I have with Graham. I think it’s important to understand that there’s no such thing as a good or a bad student. Look at Graham! Everyone is good at something and it’s important to find out what that is for each student. We teachers should have more time to make friends with all our students and really understand them. Then we could make sure that we would find the path to success. both at school and in later life, for all of them.
I knew I had chosen a job with a lot of stress but I love what I do. The thing about being a teacher is that you have access to children’s minds when they are open and eager to learn. If what I do as a teacher can help turn a child like Graham into such a successful adult, then I know what I’m doing is worthwhile. As John Dewey, the famous educationalist, said, “Education is not preparation
for life; education is life itself.”
Brian Jenkins, a science
teacher at Overton School
I know that I wasn’t a willing student, but I wasn't slow to learn new things. The problem was that I lacked confidence in myself. Mr Jenkins made me feel that I had my own strengths. I was interested in the study of the stars and planets and he asked me to give a presentation to the class.
我知道自己不是一个主动学习的学生，但我学习新事物并不慢，问题是对自己缺乏信心。詹金斯先生让我认识到我有自己的长处。我对恒星和行星的研究很感兴趣，他让我给全班同学做一个展示。

这是我第一次努力向观众讲解科学知识，现在这成了我的工作！在准备一个项目时，我常会想如果是詹金斯先生，他会怎么做。有时甚至想，如果能打电话征求他的意见就好了！
