原文
"Teaching is really very interesting work," wrote Anne to a Queen's
Academy chum. "Jane says she thinks it is monotonous but I don't find it
so. Something funny is almost sure to happen every day, and the children
say such amusing things. Jane says she punishes her pupils when
they make funny speeches, which is probably why she finds teaching
monotonous. This afternoon little Jimmy Andrews was trying to spell
'speckled' and couldn't manage it. 'Well,' he said finally, 'I can't
spell it but I know what it means.'
