It is not easy to decide what profession to choose. Usually,
pupils' plans for the future change many times during the
school years. There are so many people who influence you in
choosing your occupation. Parents and friends play a very
important role in your choice. Teachers' influence on pupils'
minds is also great.
My favourite subject is English. And I think this is my
teacher who made it so. I understand the importance of
knowledge of a foreign language. It enables people from
different countries to communicate with each other, to read
foreign literature in the original, to broaden their outlooks.
So I decided for myself to become a teacher of English. Of
course, I know that it is not easy and takes much patience and
effort. A teacher has to know how to teach, how to make
difficult things understandable, how to get students interested
in the subject.
And of course a teacher ought to have perfect knowledge of his subject. I think the ideal teacher is the one who can combine all these. My present teacher is just like this. She is a great specialist and also a nice personality. I hope in future I can become as good teacher as she is.
