To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong; pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class; he stands the whole time when he is teaching. He walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor does not mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage; for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part; even his movements and the way in which he used his voice are usually fixed before. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
The good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they do not understand something, they say so. So the teacher has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He can not learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were not able to take part in a stage-play because their brains would not keep discipline; they could not keep strictly to what another person had written.
1. The teacher could learn from the actor ___________.
A. in every way B. in some ways

A. that a teacher's work is quite different from that of an actor
B. how an actor plays his part on the stage
