Which teacher’s courses would you like to take:a teacher who is humorous or a teacher who is serious？
这道题目表面上问的是老师，实际上还是一道有关学生学习方式的题目：选择哪个老师对学生的学习更好。要讨论学生的学习，无非还是从注意力（concentration/focus）和效率（efficient/productive）这样的要点出发。
I’d prefer a teacher who’s funny in class. The difficulty most students have is that they find it hard to concentrate for a long stretch of time. Their attention starts to drift and they feel drowsy if there’s not anything fun going on in the classroom. A humorous teacher makes students laugh all the time, and when students feel happy, the class is going to be a positive experience for them and they will definitely get more involved with the teacher. I think learning is much more productive when teachers can bring humor into the classroom because how you teach the class is as important as what you teach.
我喜欢课上风趣的老师。很多学生的问题就是无法长时间集中精力，如果课堂上没有什么有趣的事情，他们的注意力就会开始涣散，他们就会犯困。一个幽默的老师能让学生们一直开心大笑，当学生开心的时候，课堂对他们来说将会是一个非常积极的体验，他们肯定会更多地和老师互动。我认为老师把幽默带入课堂，会让学习这件事变得更加高效，因为授课方式和课堂内容同等重要。
