▶ Your Answer :
Teachers
have a great influence on students’ future career. Some students grow to become
leaders of their country and some are not. Some portion of this fact depends on
teacher’s ability. Some people might said that teaching specific knowledge is
important to future success but the most important thing is giving them a
feeling of accomplishment that they can do well without teacher’s help. In this
sense, giving them self-confidence is a key factor for education.
First
of all, to learn something, interaction with other people is crucial. Very
often students who have low level of self-confidence have a hard time to
interact with other students. They hardly can learn from discussion with others
and also cannot broaden their social network. To illustrate this point, I had a
hard time to interact with other people. I once got a severe scolding from my
middle school teacher and I loose self-confidence. After that I cannot ask
questions to teacher so much since I worried that it could be stupid questions.
Likewise, since students without self-confidence have a possibility of gaining an
educational and social disorder, it is much more important for teachers to help
students gain self-confidence.
Moreover,
self-confidence can motivate students to study further, advanced subjects. Compliment
from teacher often heighten the level of self-esteem, and students can feel
that they can do everything. For example, I once wanted to be a physicist. My
high school physics teacher always encouraged me and said that I would do well.
Since I hated to disappoint her, I really studied hard and could get a high
score in physics exam. In this context, encouragement from teacher that can
establish students’ self-confidence has a huge influence on students’ study.
To
summarize, I strongly insist that helping student to gain self-confidence must
come before teaching specific knowledge in two points: It can help students develop
their social communication skills, encourage discussions and give a confidence
to student that they can do well. Therefore students with self-confidence can
success in society after they graduated from school.
