参考答案
Part I Writing

A good teacher- student relationship will make learning and teaching enjoyable and
interesting. Both teachers and students should make efforts to build a harmonious relationship.
On the one hand, the teacher plays an essential role in setting up a good teacher-student
relationship. The teacher should motivate the students and lead them to be interested in learning. A
good teacher should be patient, kindly and strict. Too kindly or too strict can be both harmful. On
the other hand, the students should respect their teachers, and pay more attention in class to learn
how to solve problems. It’s important to learn to raise questions and work out problems in new
ways.
A good teacher-student relationship benefits both the teachers and the students, so it’s vital
for them to word harder.
