The teacher’s problem is to stimulate in the children the effort which makes learning successful and to use it fruitfully.
Much use will, doubtless, be made of those activities which make it possible for each child to engage himself in the particular operation which appeals to him most.
When planning the curriculum the teachers are to think of activity and experience rather than of knowledge the children are to get and the facts they are to gather.
In reference to the child, do you really want to help him? Are you using every means you can to find out what is troubling him, and trying to make his difficulty light? The best way to get acquainted with pupils is to ask them to help you in various classroom tasks.
Some teachers call on quick pupils more frequently.
That every pupil should be called on at the lesson is a principle that teachers know but often fail to apply.
The teacher’s sense of humour often helps to cope with troublesome situations in the classroom.
When the teacher does all the talking himself at the lesson pupils do not listen to him at all but are daydreaming.
Emotional balance is a quality that a teacher needs most to have satisfactory relationship with pupils.
Give your commentary on the ideas above.
VIII. Speak about your teaching practice according to the following plan.
The school where I taught.
The subject I taught.
My preparation for the lessons.
My first lesson.
The teaching aids I used.
The discipline at my lessons.
My relationship with the pupils.
The extra-curricular work I’ve done.
The teachers and the instructors in teaching methods who helped me.
My idea of a teacher.
The results of the teaching practice (What the teaching practice meant for me).

Если нам небезразлично наше будущее, обдумывая свою карьеру, мы должны обратить внимание на многие вещи.
Я делаю всё от меня зависящее, чтобы овладеть языком, так как я решила поступать в лингвистический университет и стать учителем или переводчиком.
Я ещё не решила, чем хочу заниматься в будущем. У меня нет определенного призвания и таланта.
Он хотел пойти работать в банк своего отца, но прежде надо было получить квалификацию для этой работы.
Я прочёл рекламу в газете о работе в торговой компании. Я хочу подать документы для получения этой работы.
Почему он уволился? - Трудно сказать. Он опытный работник, но он не получил повышения, когда освободилась должность начальника отдела.
Что для тебя важнее – сделать карьеру или посвятить себя семье?
Эта должность не даёт перспектив. Я подаю заявление об отставке.
Профессия учителя требует призвания. Иначе ты будешь всю жизнь чувствовать неудовлетворение от своей работы.
Учитель, обучая других, и сам учится всю жизнь.
Личность учителя играет большую роль в этой профессии.
Если у тебя нет призвания к профессии учителя, лучше не выбирай эту карьеру. Она предъявляет слишком высокие требования: огромное терпение, искреннюю любовь к детям, профессионализм и колоссальный энтузиазм.
Моя работа хорошо оплачивается, но я не имею возможности использовать иностранные языки и начинаю их забывать.
У меня есть все намерения поменять работу на более ответственную и предъявляющую высокие требования.
Я пока ещё смутно представляю свою будущую карьеру, но уверен, что мне надо стремиться к учёбе и успеху в профессиональной деятельности.
