Paragraph 2, Second Draft, Ho Won Lee

An Ideal English Teacher

 

              An ideal English teacher should be moral. For example, he or she should be fully committed to teaching without having other things in mind such as wasting time doing inefficient things and losing track of the class schedule by doing irrelevant activities outside the course guideline. Also, an educator should be sincere with him or herself in a sense that he or she will be responsible for developing the students in the course that he or she is teaching. In addition, the instructor's motivation to teach should solely come from guiding the students in an academic way without intervening one's emotions or personal desires. To rephrase this, a lecturer should only be focused on teaching during the period of instruction. Lastly, the preceptor should treat and evaluate the students in a fair and appropriate way without offending the students mentally and physically. This means no physical contact and profanities or no abusive language of any kind. If he or she makes such mistakes, a teacher should be responsible for one's actions and apologize deeply to the victim. No matter how skillful and educated an instructor is, if he or she hurts the students in an immoral way, he or she has given a painful memory to the student that will be a scar to the student eternally which will have a disastrous effect on the student's positive growth; and this will outweigh any kind of academic knowledge the student would have gained no matter how sophisticated the materials comprehended by the learner might be. Consequently, the most important characteristic of an ideal teacher would be the level of morality of the educator. 

 

 

 

The Worst Waiter

              The worst waiter that I have encountered was the rudest service worker that I have faced in my short life and I cannot wait to tell you about this. I met the waiter in a restaurant called Spring Rolls in Canada. Her first impression was very cold and expressionless like an undertaker so I didn't expect a good service from her in the first place, thus I decided to be psychologically as prepared as possible by being as magnanimous as I can. While I was sensing her mysterious enmity against me and keeping my composure and guard at a highest level spontaneously, she did something that I never saw coming. Just when I was least expecting it, she dragged my chair with me sitting on it and moved it aside effortlessly like a bag of garbage as she took the dishes away. Believe me, I have faced people who went as far as they can go to be verbally rude during a service such as screaming and raising their voices but this was the first time I met someone who swiftly used one's physical force to make me feel devalued. Her silent and calm but deadly action had a thousand times stronger effect than a verbal confrontation. The server at Spring Rolls is the waitress who I pick as the most infamous waitress that I have encountered who planted a fear of females in my psyche.
