       I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class．Having taught in  26  for 17 years, I had no  27  about my ability to hold their attention and to  28  on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue．

       I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “  29  !”

       The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat  30  about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly  31  my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect --- perhaps  32  their admiration．I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement．

       My students  33  diaries．However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually  34  by a strong sense of sadness．The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today． 35  her next lecture will be better．” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a  36  theme．“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical  37  for all the works we will study in class,” I complained．“How  38  they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

       It was a long term, and it  39  became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as  40  of my students．I thought a teacher’s job was to raise     41  questions and provide enough background so that students could  42  their own conclusions．My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide  43  information as directly and clearly as possible．What a difference!

       44  , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a  45  American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture．
