преподаватель английского языка

Про английский язык. I have loved English since my childhood. So it was never an issue what job to choose. It should be a foreign language, English above all, as, at some point in the future, mastering English would turn out to be very helpful indeed.

Он нравился мне с самого детства. Какую профессию выбрать - такой вопрос даже не стоял. Иностранный язык стоит учить хотя бы потому, что в жизни обязательно случится такой момент, когда знание языка тебя сильно выручит.


Про преподавание. A good teacher is a like an actor, a painter, a writer and an eloquent orator all in one. In my opinion, it is the only way to make students realize what I intend to do, especially if I see the interest in their eyes, which shows that my efforts have been successfully achieved and my work has not been in vain.

Хороший учитель - немножко актер, немножко- художник, немножко - писатель или оратор. Только так он может донести до ученика то, что хотел. Я люблю видеть интерес в глазах своих учеников и знать, что они достигают успеха. Тогда и моя работа была не зря!


Про себя. I enjoy small things: green leaves in spring or sunrays breaking through the clouds make me feel what it is to be alive. When I am sad, I know there will always be some happiness awaiting me ahead.

Я замечаю и умею радоваться мелочам. Первый зеленый лист весной или луч солнца сквозь облака - это и есть жизнь. И даже когда тебе грустно, обязательно найдется повод для радости.
