Teaching has been considered an undesirable profession in many parts of the world. Education may be respected and highly valued, but teachers are not. Their pay and prestige are low in most countries. They work long hours both during the day and in the evening and their hard work often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. Yet, there have always been people who love the teaching profession and choose teaching as their life-long career. Here, Mr. Beidler, Professor of English at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, U.S.A., whi was named 1983’s Professor of the Year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, gives his reasons why he teaches.

(4) He was puzzled that I did not want …: money and power: a university administrator, as a rule, earns more money and has more power than an average professor and most Americans would be only too pleased to get a “ step up” towards these goals. That’s why the author’s friend was puzzled that he would reject such a “ promotion”.
Ø 2)Section Tow (line 11-48)
Main idea: The author teaches not because some reasons.
Language Points:

(15) Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breath.: According to the bible, man was created by God out of clay.
