2. A: If you are not fluent in any second language, how can you improve yourself?

B: I think the slings and some fixed expressions are useful, while grammar is difficult.

5. A: If your students are not willing to cooperate with you in class, what will you do?

B: I will spend a few minute to talk with them. Ask what's the way they like or can accept; if they still don't want to cooperate, I will give them some ideological education.

6. A: Why are you interested in being a secondary teacher but not a primary teacher but not a primary teacher?

B: On one hand, the middle school students are more mature, they will like studying with you if you can make them appreciate your teaching or if you are really professional, while the primary school students do not think about that; on the other hand, it's a vital period for middle school student to build their view of the world and life. I want to make a contribution to that.

And in today's modern world, knowledge become more important to us. We need knowledge to upgrade our life. And the people with great education may do more active things to the society, so the crime rate may reduce.

Being a teacher’s advantages

For one thing, I consider myself not only a teacher, but also a learner. Being a teacher allows me, in fact forces me, to be a learner. Firstly, I must prepare all that I will teach, during which process I myself learn a lot. Secondly, I must find ways of helping my students to understand their assignments. Thirdly, I must therefore try to understand and respond in a helpful way to my students' ideas. Fourthly, I must force myself to be creative.

Moreover, a teacher's job is not a routine. If you find yourself bored with doing the same thin g over and over again, you have only yourself to blame. This is because a teacher has a great d eal more independence and control over what he does than many other professionals do.

As a teacher, it involves interacting with students and helping them to interact with each other . A good teacher will make his ideas alive, and will awaken an idea in the minds of his student s, in the process, he will benefit by getting to know his statements and their ways of thinking. In sum, being a teacher is beneficial. For those who are suited by temperament to be a teacher, it is a good choice.

Being a teacher’s disadvantages

It is difficulty to meet the needs of many diverse students. Hours are very long, it is rare that I come home without any work... Lesson planning takes a lot longer than people think. You have to deal with administration, they may have their own agenda, quite different from yours. teachers are not paid wonderful salaries, sometimes lack professional respect from others, get bogged down by routine, have inadequate time for contact with other adults, and face frustration when idealistic goals collide with student apathy or indifference, parent hostility, and the demands of old-fashioned bureaucratic red tape.

Conclusion

Teaching is a challenging task. Many teachers try to clear our duties with the highest degree of professionalism, skill, and with utmost devotion and dedication to ensure the quality of education, even though this job is not well paid compared to the effort it requires. Teachers’ chore is not just simply uttering the lesson inside the four corners of a classroom. A teacher makes the students realize their mistakes and they give them clues to better know how to act in a future similar situation. Teaching is not a bed of roses, teachers will have to deal with problematic students, talkative students, smart alecks, unmotivated ones and also, with others who are in poor economic circumstances. The only reward that a teacher expects from students is for them to finish studies and to be more able to get a good job. Being a teacher is hard, nobody says “thanks” at the end of a class, at the end of the school year or when these students finally earn a living on their own, teachers’ job is never valued.

Teachers and parents are who have the keys to open our minds; they will help us to overcome all the challenges and difficulties. Students must be immersed to the complexities and realities of life so that they would be able to better value their lives. This all is what our mentors mainly want for us. I don’t still know if I want to become a teacher but I know that being a teacher can burn you easily if you don’t have enough determination to handle with a part of the future of a country
