When I began teaching in a university, I was invited to a workshop for new professors. I had 1 a long time learning what to teach, but not learning how to 2 it. Somehow, my university seemed to hope a weekend spent with experienced professors would 3 for that. My colleagues presented well­crafted lectures about the tools they used. I enjoyed their 4， but do not remember a thing they said.
At a coffee break during the lectures, finding myself 5， I turned to a mathematics professor standing nearby. I asked him what his favorite teaching 6 was. “A cup of coffee，” he said, “I talk too much and too fast in the classroom. Students sometimes have trouble 7 me. So when I've said8 that I want my students to think about, I would9 and take a sip of coffee. It lets what I've just said sink in.”
When we were called to the next talk, he put down his cup and I 10 there was not a trace of coffee in it. “My doctor 11 me to stop drinking coffee，” he explained. “So I have always used a(n)12 cup.” I decided to try his 13 in my class.
I took a cup of coffee with me to my next class. It helped. My pauses, as I 14 the coffee, not only gave my students 15 to think about what I had said, but gave me time to think about what I was going to say next. I began to use my 16 to look around the room to see how my students were reacting to what I had just said. When I saw their 17 wander, I tried to bring them back. When I saw them puzzled over some concept that I thought I had 18， I gave another example. My 19 became less organized and less brilliant, but my students seemed to 20 me better.
