📖 題組：
(37). As predicted by the doctor, I experienced exasperating language delays and problems in decoding speech sounds during the first year of my life. Unlike other babies, language did not come naturally to me; my language learning experience involved serious effort. I nonetheless attained native-like proficiency in my first language, Mandarin, became a highly proficient speaker of my second language, English, and am currently a speech pathologist. (38). Some might say that this incredible feat was made possible thanks to the brain’s ability to reorganize and restructure itself. The fortune of encountering several inspiring mentors, however, is the main reason in how I overcame the biological and mental barriers in my own personal growth over the years. These inspiring mentors have taught me a number of teaching philosophies, which are quite instrumental in shaping my own teaching. Among these important philosophies, I have come to realize that instruction needs to be continuously developed, nurtured and evaluated by teachers and students, experts and novices, and by peers. (39). In spite of this comprehension issue, I was fortunate enough to come across several teachers whose patience, creativity, and, most importantly, adaptation of their teaching structures allowed me to access each concept in a supporting environment. (40). Instead, I saw alternatives that enabled me to accomplish the particular goal of learning. Thus, in my own personal growth as a teacher over the years, I have worked very hard to understand my students’ individual learning styles, accommodate their instructional/learning needs, deliver my courses at their levels, and teach by illustration and analogy.

請仔細觀察第 (40) 題空格後的下一個單字 "Instead"（反而）。在英文寫作中，當一個句子以 "Instead" 開頭時，通常是為了推翻前一句話所隱含的某種可能性或負面結果。試著思考看看：在得到那些優秀老師的幫助後，作者原本「可能」會陷入什麼樣的負面心態，而後來又是因為什麼轉折才讓他看到「替代方案」的呢？
