阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文
Most people remember their teachers as some kind of despotic（专制的） person although it isn`t always the truth．Most of them are quite nice and are always there to give us a hand when we need one, Not so long ago, you might think the teacher was “The Teacher” and was almighty（万能的） and the students were there to learn and nothing else．Now there is some kind of interactivity between the students and the teacher．To my mind, teachers are here to teach us their knowledge and to listen to what we have to say．Indeed, students aren`t afraid to tell them what they think any more．However, this doesn`t mean that they don`t control their troops．It is just because times and methods have changed．Our teachers are now closer to their students and have created some kind of soft climate that allows us to be in class without a feeling of obligation or what so ever．Nevertheless, we can but notice that the “power” is still in the teachers` hands．If something goes wrong it is up to him or her to react properly and to carry out punishment if it is necessary．
