You have a chance to meet new students every new school year. They are very interesting, although some of them are naughty, most of them are lovely and friendly. A teacher is required some particular knowledge about a certain subject which he teaches and besides that, he has to know about many other fields. He has to be competent and creative. A teacher’s working day is short. It usually ranges from 4 to 5 hours. However, he has a lot of things to do at home, such as planning lessons, correcting papers, doing research, reading textbooks and reference books. Teachers are not well-paid compared with many others, such as engineers, doctors, and businessmen. But one of the most attractive aspects of teaching is the long holidays during summer with full salary. II. Reading (5 x 0,5 = 2,5) 1. C. Professional musicians. 2.
