I’d like to talk about Tao, who is a politics teacher. I knew him when I was preparing for the postgraduate qualifying exams, which was about two years ago, I think. At that time, I had to prepare for the exam for politics, so I took his online class. To my surprise, he was not that kind of teacher who would only tell you knowledge, which is kind of boring. Instead, he always tells us inspiring and interesting stories about himself, as well as some historical events. But he would tell those stories in a really intriguing way that makes people want to hear it again. That can catch my attention to his class. So, I think in order to do this job as a politics teacher, he definitely needs to be really good at communicating with others as well as be really articulate to express his ideas. Also, he needs to be very patient about students and also caring others a lot is a very important key feature. As for why I think this job is useful to the society, well, I’d say that as a teacher, not only does he teach us about the knowledge of politics, but also he teaches us a lot about what is the most important thing to be a person, like how to live our lives well. So, I think that’s the most important one.

At that time, I had to prepare for the exam in politics, so I took his online class. To my surprise, he was not the kind of teacher who would only tell you knowledge, which can be boring. Instead, he always shares inspiring and interesting stories about himself, as well as some historical events. He tells those stories in a really intriguing way that makes people want to hear them again. That captures my attention in his class.
