A. Read the following passage and then answer the question bellow.
Shahana’s husband Mr
Zamil Huda works in a company office. His firm has a vacant position. On
several days he told Shahana, “I want you to apply for the post.” But Shahana
said, “Please don’t insist. I’m joining the local high school as a teacher.”
“What do you find in a teaching job, Shahana? I don’t want you to do it”. Her
in-laws were also on his side. Yet Shahana joined the school against the will
of the family. Weeks, months went by. Every day Shahana helps with the
household work. Every day she works hard to prepare her lessons. Every day she
goes to school, teaches her students and helps both weak and bright ones. They
often come to her in the teachers’ room, in the corridor and even on the road,
and talk to her about any academic or personal problems. Within a year Shahana
becomes a very good teacher. Students give her salam wherever they see
her. Teachers, even the Headteacher, admire her. Parents and other people in
the community come to see her at home and at the school and pay her great
respect. One day her husband said, “You’ve opened my eyes, Shahana. Teaching is
more than a job. I didn’t know it. Congratulations!” “Thank you,” she smiled.
“Tell me Shahana, how you could be such a great teacher!” Zamil wanted to know.
“I don’t only teach my subject, I care for my students. I love them. I
myselfdemonstrate good behaviour and inspire them to be good. That’s all I do,”
replied Shahana.
