Question 51

The dinghy veered away from the channel each time I moved the tiller too sharply. Ellis was patient, waiting while I worked out how little pressure was needed. When I finally held a straight course between the buoys, he was generous with his praise. We made one more circuit of the sheltered harbour before tying up at the pontoon.

Select two words or phrases from the passage that show how Ellis treats the narrator while they learn to steer.
