Do aany oof yoou haave aa teaachinng ceertifficatte?- Wanng Jiing (半决赛33分钟)Well, thiis piicturre iss reaally thouught-provvokinng, aand tthis makees mee thiink aaboutt twoo queestioons: whatt is the reall cerrtifiicatee forr a ggood teaccher? Andd in our sociiety, whaat kiind oof teeacheers ddo wee neeed?Well, as for the firsst pooint, I wwant to ddefinne a goodd teaacherr in my mmind. I tthinkk a ggood teaccher shouuld bbe, ffirstt andd forremosst, aa goood thhinkeer. YYou ssee, Willliam Shakkespeeare, Abrrahamm Linncolnn andd Bennjamiin Frrankllin aare sstandding in tthe ccrowdd. Thhey ddont haave aa teaachinng ceertifficatte, bbut wwith theiir inndepeendennt thhinkiing, as wwell as ggreatt virrtue, theey arre innflueencinng thhe woorld conttinuoouslyy. Abbrahaam Liincolln, wwith his emanncipaationn andd prooclammatioon, hhas ttaughht thhe woorld to rrespeect eeach otheer deespitte thhat yyou hhave diffferennt skkin ccolorr, eyye coolor and diffferennt naationnalitties. Andd alsso, BBenjaamin Frannklinn hass keppt teellinng uss we needd to be sstronng annd seelf-ddepenndentt. Thhese are greaat thhinkeers aand tthesee aree greeat tteachhers.And sseconndly, a ggood teaccher shouuld bbe a teaccher withh deeep loove ffor ootherrs. Mothher TTeressa, as youu seee in the midddle oof thhe crrowd, as welll as Jesuus Chhristt andd alsso Annnie Sulllivann, I thinnk shhe iss mayybe bbehinnd thhe crrowd. Theey arre alll peeoplee conntinuuouslly suupporrtingg othhers withh theeir ddeep lovee. Mootherr Terresa fiftty yeears ago has set up aa cammpaiggn too hellp thhose peopple ssuffeeringg froom HIIV/AIIDS. And the formmer ppresiidentt of Frannce, Jacqques Chirrac, coulld beest cconcllude her lifee in her funeeral. He saidd somme woords likee thiis, “Toniight, theeres leess llightt, leess llove and lesss commpasssion in tthis worlld.” Theese aare tthe ppeoplle wiith ddeep lovee andd conntinuuouslly suupporrtingg othhers. Theey seet a moraal moodel for everry onne off us, teaachinng uss to lovee eacch otther and alsoo makke thhe woorld moree harrmoniious. So thesse arre thhe beest tteachhers in mmy eyyes. Howevver, in ttodayys soocietty, eespecciallly in ttodayys unniverrsitiies, we ppay ttoo mmuch atteentioon too peooples caareerr andd alsso peeoplees caareerr skiills insttead of llookiing aat thhe exxpresssionn, annd thhe emmotioon inn thee heaart oof huuman beinngs, all of tthesee greeat vvirtuues. So II thiink aa teaachinng ceertifficatte maay bee sommethiing, but its noot evvery thinng. WWe neeed llearnn froom thhose greaat meen annd grreat womeen abbout the greaat viirtuees, aaboutt thoose ggreatt quaalitiies, so aas too makke ouursellves a quualiffied globbal ccitizzen, trussted frieend tto fuulfilll ouur gooals. Cao FFengHost: Noww in the age of tthe IInterrnet, reaadingg boooks ddoes not seemm as impoortannt ass it oncee wass. Doo youu thiink ppeoplle caan leearn as mmuch on tthe IInterrnet as tthey can by rreadiing bbookss? Whhich methhod ddo yoou prreferr?Cao FFeng: Thaank yyou vvery muchh. Annd heello agaiin laadiess andd genntlemmen. Actuuallyy, I dont reeallyy agrree wwith the firsst seentennce oof thhis ttopicc: “IIn thhe agge off Intterneet, rreadiing bbookss is not as iimporrtantt as it wwas oonce.” Whhy? WWhy iis itt thee casse? WWhy iis itt thee sittuatiion, ladiies aand ggentllemenn? Acctuallly, Inteernett or bookks arre juust llike tea or ccoffeee. TThey are simiilar, butt theey arre diifferrent.Univeersitty sttudennts nnowaddays lovee to use the Inteernett to searrch ffor iinforrmatiion wwhen theyy aree worrkingg witth thheir essaays. Likee, laast ssemesster, wheen I was workking withh my physsics essaay, II loggged intoo Gooogle and I seearchhed ffor “NEWTON” and all the laws and theories of Newton just popped out and I can choose whichever one I like to use. But when I walked into the library, all the books came out and I have to choose which one to read. How inconvenient!Maybee youu cann sayy at thiss momment, “Ohh, Innternnet iis beetterr, boooks no uuse.” So I have to use Internet, right? But lets see the things in another way.I lovve trravelling a loot annd I lovee to brinng a bookk witth mee. Annd I lovee to readd my Da VVincii Codde whhen II wass havving my ttrip on aa buss or o
