Passage Caroline as a Teacher
Caroline's favorite subject at school was math. She enjoyed solving problems, and was interested in the teaching 3 methods. But most of her friends tended to find math very difficult, and because they thought it was a useless subject, they saw no point in working at it. Math was, in fact, the least popular subject in Caroline's class.
During Caroline's last year at school, the teachers went on strike for two months to protest 4 against the size of their classes (30 — 35 was typical). Each morning, Caroline gave private math lessons to three of her friends, so that they would have a chance of passing their examination 5. She's patient, and good at explaining things to people, and the lessons went well. Caroline and her three friends all passed. They offered to pay her for the lessons, but she refused. She felt sympathy for the teachers' strike, and did not think it would be fair if she took money for doing their job.
