What does it mean to be a good teacher

You know that there are a lot of people who want to be teachers. If you are planning to become a teacher it is not enough just to want to become a teacher. You have to think a lot before making this decision because it is not so easy to teach in school. You might face a lot of problems there. So that is why you have to feel a passion for teaching. You should know that a good teacher should be a person who has a lot of good qualities such as organisation, professionality, the passion for his job.

Firstly, a real teacher is a person who feels a passion for teaching. It is not enough to to know a lot about the subject. A devoted person for his job actively participates in everything what surrounds him. It includes relationship with pupils, after school activities and of course the subject. I am sure that good teachers love their pupils and they behave with them very well. If you want to be a perfect teacher you have to love your job. If you adore your job then you will love everything what is dealt with it.

Secondly, teachers must have good qualities. They have to be self-confident, curious, creative. They have to be able to control the class, to attract pupils‘ attention and to teach using different kinds of methods. Besides, teachers have to be interested in their pupils‘ interests. A communication between teacher and children is very important. It makes close relationships between them and this allows pupil to feel free and not to be under pressure to say their opinion and actively participate in a lesson. Moreover, teachers have to keep in touch with their pupils when the classes are finished\ended.

Thirdly, it is not a secret that teachers have to be well prepared with their subjects. If people want to be teachers they have to know a lot of things about their subject which they are going to teach. Also, they have to do their best in all lessons. The teacher should be prepared for every lesson so that the lesson would be organised. A good teacher should know methods how to attract pupils‘ attention to the subject. Also, teachers have to explain everything what pupils are asking, give them examples and explain it for several times.

In conclusion I would like to say that the most important thing before becoming a teacher is to think a lot before making this decision. If you are a teacher already, you do not have to forget that teaching requires a lot of things to be done. So teacher always should improve herself and develop her subject. Everything will work without big efforts if you are a tacher who feel passion for teaching.

The Notebook

The Notebook is a 2004 romantic drama film directed by Nick Cassavetes. It is based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. The major actors of this film are Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. They are young couple who fall in love during the early 1940s.

The movie focuses on an old man reading a story to an old woman in a nursing home. The story he reads is about two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who met one evening at a carnival. But they are separated by Allie's parents who disapprove of Noah's poor family, and move Allie away. Later Allie meets and gets engaged to a soldier named Lon. After some time she sees an article of Noah‘s restored 200 – year - old house as she wanted in youth when they were together. Allie, then, visits him in that house. It is evident that they still have feelings for each other, and Allie has to choose between her fiance and her first love. It is obvious that she chooses her first love. When she gets old she has a disease – dementia. That is why her lover Noah reads the book about their love story for many times. Their love was so true that even they died together.

The film is a fantastic romantic drama full of emotional and sensitive situations that allow you to involve in this story. The actors give magnificent performance because they are professionals. The directing is first class. 

This film is must see that to feel that true love exists. I saw this film for several times and every time I watch it I get excited by this story. It is one of my favourite films. I necessarily recommend you to watch and enjoy it.

Article

The article intrigued me with its unrealistic title called 'Chocolate may help keep people slim'. I cannot believe my eyes. It is written that scientists believe that even though chocolate is loaded with calories it contains ingredients that may favour weight loss. It appears it is how often you eat chocolate that is important, rather than how much of it you eat. Also, other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linked to some favourable changes in blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and cholesterol level. Chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, does contain antioxidants which can help to mop up harmful free radicals - unstable chemicals that can damage our cells. But before you reach for a chocolate bar, there are still lots of unanswered questions. But still experts advise caution because eating too much might be harmful because it often contains a lot of sugar and fat too. So, still milky chocolate will always be a part of my life. And it doesn't matter if it helps to keep me slim or not.
