Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met in my life is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his qualities. First of all, I respected his to teaching. Because his lectures were always well- prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an way, introducing such aids to as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. ，I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would a student to a game of chess. ，he would join student groups to discuss a variety of ： agriculture, diving, mathematics and so on. Many young people visited him in his office for on their studies；others came to his home for social evenings. Finally, I was by his lively sense of humour. He believed that no lesson is a success ，during it, the students and the professor at least one loud . Through his sense of humour, he made learning more and more lasting. If it is that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry， the professor is indeed a wise man.
