Эссе на тему: Do you like being an English teacher?
Автор: Бусурина Н.С. учитель МКОУ школа с. Сиваковка
The English language is now the first language of about 400 million people, the native language
of 12 nations and the official or semiofficial language of 33 more nations. That means one in
every seven people in the world speaks English. The English language has become the "new
Latin" of the 21st century, the world’ top tongue.
Nowadays in Russia English language has become the most popular one among foreign
languages.
As for me, like this language and English help me in my life.
From the very childhood I dreamt of becoming a teacher. The right choice in the modern world
is becoming increasingly difficult. A great number of new and prestigious professions appear.
More knowledge is required to implement one’s plans for his (her) future life. In addition, it is
necessary to take into account the psychological characteristics of the individual. For many
professions the character and natural gifts are not less important. I understand that the noble and
timeconsuming work of a teacher is not highly valued in the country, salaries are small, the
environment at work is far from being favorable and the profession requires constant dedication.
But I believe that doing things you love, and not just making a career, can bring excellent results.
There are a lot of examples of the teachers who have become known for their work. I have read
many books and watched a lot of movies about this fascinating, generous and interesting job. I
think that the life of a society and a country as a whole, depend on the teachers, the quality of
their work, their skills and commitment.
I think the job of a teacher is very difficult and one of the noblest professions among others. A
teacher is the kindest, the most necessary and charitable profession. Not everyone is suitable for
it and can make a good teacher. To become one you need to be able to sacrifice a lot, to have a
passionate heart and concern for the children entrusted to you. It is one of the most responsible
professions because the teacher does not deal with machines or objects, but with children, the
most precious and vulnerable ‘material’. The teacher will inevitably influence them, mould their
personalities, build up their prospects, as well as determine their priorities and values in life.
My choice depends on many factors. I’ve always liked reading, especially the works of English
classics. Learning English language is not an easy task. It is a long and slow process that takes a
lot of time and efforts. I want to give chances to my pupils to see the world through language, to
give them hopes and dreams. Thus, learning English is the window to learn the world. It is very
difficult to be a good teacher because he must impart all his knowledge, skills and generosity to
pupils.
Now is considered that good English teachers should not only know the subject matter because
nowadays the teacher is not considered the only source of information, I certainly agree with this
theory, but I consider that you should not be a good teacher of English language if you don'tknow English, by this I mean that good teacher expect other specifics should know the subject.
Then other quality that the teacher must possess is the quality called "knowing your students", by
knowing our students we will know what do they need, what do they know and what they don't
know. Of course by knowing our students we will use the appropriate method for them during
the process of teaching. Typical daily duties of an English teacher include preparing, assigning
and grading lessons and homework and evaluating students and preparing progress reports.
Teachers have the very important responsibility of shaping the lives of young, impressionable
children. With this responsibility comes great pride and joy. Therefore all teachers should strive
for what can be considered to be a “good teacher.” A good teacher can be defined as someone
who always pushes students to want to do their best while at the same time trying to make
learning interesting as well as creative. A positive or negative influence from a teacher early on
in life can have a great effect on the life of a child. Teachers, especially at the elementary level,
must be very creative with their teaching styles. Not every child learns the same way, nor are
they interested in the same things. It is difficult to keep the attention of 1520 children under the
age of ten. Teachers do not only teach their subjects. They develop their pupils' intellect, their
attitudes to life and to other people.
For me being a teacher is a pleasure. It is good to know that there is a child that adores and loves
you. I do not like to be adorable from my students just because I'm their teacher, but I would like
them to value my work. I thing that I have sufficient reasons to become an English teacher. I
hope one day to be the most successful teacher.
