Reading Passage (Okuma Parçası)
Jane, a dedicated teacher, had a new class that was proving to be more challenging than she had anticipated. Despite burning the midnight oil grading papers and planning lessons, she realized there was an elephant in the room: the students were not engaged in their learning.

She was feeling overwhelmed and contemplated whether to throw in the towel but decided instead to have an open conversation with her students. She told them, “We need to be on the same page here. Learning is a two-way process, and I need your help to make it work.” Her students, surprised by her candour, promised to make more of an effort.

From that day forward, Jane started to go the extra mile with her students. She organized interactive lessons, came up with creative projects, and even started a classroom book club. Gradually, she saw changes in her students. They began participating actively in class and showed more interest in their studies. Looking back at the progress they made together, Jane couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and fulfillment in her job.
