　　A well-trained teacher is not nervous, because she has the confident which comes of knowing that she is fully prepared for her work. She can help all her pupils, from the brightest to the slowest; and when she realizes, from the silence of her class when she asks a question, that they have not understood what she has explained, she is able to repeat her explanation again in different ways. Above all, she must never cause her pupils to lose confidence(信心). She must always speak to them kindly and when one of them turns red with shame at having answered a question after a long delay instead of easily, she must quickly make him or her feel at ease again.

A smile will tell people around you that you are a kind and friendly person. However, many people don’t smile because they think they have ugly(丑陋的) teeth. For example, one of my classmates, Mike, doesn’t have very nice teeth, so that is why he seldom opens his mouth. He even says that he has lost confidence(自信) because of his teeth. So it is very important for us to look after our teeth. In fact, a lot of people have this problem. Some people’s teeth are damaged(破坏) because of bad habits, like heavy smoking, eating too much sugar or not brushing teeth often. If your teeth are in bad shape, you should see a dentist(牙医) and ask for help. He can help improve your teeth and tell you how to take care of them.

Smiling can help you to feel more confident and make other people think of you as a more friendly person. If you want to keep healthy, you should not only smile but also laugh. An Indian doctor called Kataria said that children should laugh about 300 times a day, while adults should laugh between 7 and 15 times a day. So please smile and laugh now!
