Raven was walking along the beach in Haida Gwai. He wanted to find a way to have fun. As he walked along the beach,the blue sea in front of him and the green forest behind him didn't seem interesting. Raven wanted to play,but there was no one to play with.

       Two years ago,a small town in Changhua started to grow healthy rice. The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by the students from a small primary school of only about fifty people.

The idea of growing rice came from the school teachers. When making teaching plans,the teachers decided to teach students how to grow healthy rice on school land. They wanted the students to get closer to the land when doing the rice farming outside the classroom.

       What's better,the school made money from selling the rice and giving farming classes to the public. With the money,the school could help the students who wished to go to foreign countries some day.

        Teaching is one of the most rewarding (有回报 的) jobs. It is also one of the most stressful. If you want to be a teacher,you should have a passion (激情) for young people. If you are thinking about going into teaching for any other reason than this,you need to find another job.

       Teaching is difficult. Students can be difficult. Parents can be difficult. If you do not have a passion for the young people that you teach,you will burn out quickly. Passion is what keeps an excellent teacher going. When students have trouble understanding what is taught,it is what drives him to spend long hours trying to think out how to help them. If you do not have enough passion for your students,you might last a year or two,but not long. Passion is a must-have quality (品质) for every good teacher.

       Teaching can be rewarding,but you shouldn’t expect that reward to come easily. Teachers who search out better and new methods are the ones who will make it.
