   Write your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.
   As Teacher’s Day is approaching, the China Youth Daily received 1,089 reader responses from a nationwide survey. Results indicated that the teaching profession is still a respectable occupation: 91.6 percent voted that they wanted the most outstanding people to be teachers.
   "The profession of teacher should be the most respectable occupation in our society. The group should consist of the most outstanding people, or our nation’s development will be affected," a respondent stated in the poll.
   Asked about which kind of teachers are the most outstanding ones, some readers answered: "Not all talented teachers are outstanding in their fields. An excellent teacher ought to be first of all a person of high morals, since teachers educate young people."
   Even more interesting, 76.3 percent of the respondents said that a teacher is someone who influenced them most. But people’s views toward what kind of teachers are good teachers have changed. Another survey this June showed that 81.6 percent of the people admired knowledgeable teachers, 67.6 percent liked teachers who made their classes easy and interesting, and 51.9 percent preferred teachers with a good sense of humor. In short, being knowledgeable is the first and most important aspect of being a teacher, and on this basis, students clearly prefer lively and witty teachers.
   The bad news: recent years have seen the rapid reduction of normal universities and colleges. Many have been upgraded to comprehensive universities by name changes and mergers. Education experts worry lhat this kind of development will harm teacher training because these courses were conducted in those types of universities or colleges.
   The good news: The latest government work report states that the country would provide free education for students attending teacher training universities. The policy has become a reality as a total of 11,000 students enrolled in six teacher-training universities have now begun enjoying free education as of last week. These students began registration respectively at the six universities based in Beijing, Shanghai, Changchun, Wuhan, Xi’an and Chongqing on September 4.
   73 percent of the readers who responded to the survey believed that the free education policy signals that the country is paying greater attention to education and teachers. 60.1 percent of the respondents said that the policy should be popularized and extended to more normal universities and colleges.
   Of those polled, the majority (55.6 percent)said that they wanted to be university or college teachers, because of the "high salary and low pressure, good working environment and non-fixed office hours." "Some teachers even have their own research program." 29.5 percent wanted to be middle school teachers, 13.4 percent wanted to be kindergarten teachers, and 8.2 percent say they didn’t want to teach at all.
   Some respondents said that the salary of rural teachers in central and western areas should be increased. If not, even those students who enjoy free education in normal universities and love their teaching jobs will still face the ultimate question: choose their dream job or find something better to make ends meet?

答案 Even Teachers are Humans Needing Material Comfort The dilemma of being a teacher in China is discussed in the above article. On the one hand, teachers still hold the most respectable job, and the social expectation of teachers’ morality and knowledge remains high. On the other hand, the number of teacher-training universities is decreasing and teachers’ salary is less than satisfactory. This mismatch is the very obstacle that prevents many young talents from the teaching profession. As a student, I understand how important it is to have qualified teachers in my life, so I think it is the government’s responsibility and priority to ensure that teachers are duly rewarded. Two kinds of rewards are pertinent to teachers: tangible and intangible. From the news coverage, we learn that teachers are well-respected and have gained social recognition, an intangible reward for a professional occupation. However, as for the tangible rewards, the situation is far from being satisfactory. Teachers are under-paid, and in the rural areas many of them are living a dismal life. They have to shelter in thatched cottages and live on ration food every day. It is really disheartening to know that teachers have to suffer from poverty when they are entrusted with the great responsibility to shape students’ morality, knowledge and personality. I believe that Chinese government must subsidize teachers and substantially increase teachers’ salary. For instance, teachers should be entitled to housing allowance or low-rent apartments to guarantee that they live in comfortable houses. Teachers’ salary should be performance-based, and it needs to be reviewed every year. If a teacher has done a good job, he or she deserves an annual increase and a satisfactory amount of bonus. In conclusion, since we have already recognized teachers’ social value, it is high time we awarded them the financial value. When intangible and tangible incentives are present, more young talents will be competing to be teachers. The flowers of the motherland will be in excellent hands.
