A good teacher is such like an actor on the stage, the more they were in control and knowledgeable of the topic or subject of the play, the more easier the audience can understand the action of play. Sometimes it will be able to induce the audience to stand up voluntarily giving tribute and a big applause. To get an impression of this effective, teachers need to be skilled and knowledgeable in their own field.
