Difficulties awaiting young teachers

A teacher is a wonderful profession that is always relevant. However, every
profession has not only advantages, but also disadvantages. It is about the
difficulties of working as a teacher that I want to talk about.

As for the work with the younger classes, children in the younger classes do not
know how to learn yet. The teacher's main task is to teach them how to analyze
information, work with sources, work in groups, plan time, and so on. It is also
important to teach children independence and responsibility from a young age.
Primary and middle school children may have a level of discipline that is far
from ideal. Not all children are able to concentrate their attention on learning.
That is why the teacher must be patient and insistent. It is important to include
interesting and informative facts in the lessons and to change activities in class
more often to stimulate the pupils' interest. It is also very important for the
teacher to build a good relationship with the students' parents for effective
communication. Also, the teacher should always try to choose phrases carefully
when communicating with children of all ages, to be empathic and to be
understanding.

There is also the possibility of encountering difficulties within the teaching

team. Cooperation and understanding are also very important here. Any
misunderstandings and conflicts can always be resolved with simple
conversations.

Sometimes a young teacher, due to lack of experience, may worry about his
incompetence and try to constantly improve himself. This is also on the one
hand good, but on the other hand it is necessary to know the measure. Some
beginning teachers find it difficult to self-organize and plan their time and rest.
In order to avoid this, first of all, a beginner needs to be ready to change his
personal interests and motives in accordance with the status of the teacher, to
work on himself, to develop in himself professionally important qualities. Of
great importance is the ability to construct one's speech correctly and
expressively, criticism, and the ability to self-analysis. Openness, naturalness in
communication, confidence - all this sets an personal style of a teacher and
helps in the work.
 2. An ideal school as you see it
School is a very important stage in anyone's life. That is why it is important that
school time is pleasant and memorable. The atmosphere inside the team and
interesting classes, but also the environment inside the school itself contributes
to this.

First of all, the ideal school should have a good interior, so that it was
comfortable to study. There should be spacious and bright classrooms, with new
furniture and a dressing room. It is also important to have a large and cozy
library where you can stay for extra classes or just to spend time with fiction. A
gym should be sure to have sports equipment and all the conditions for physical
exercise. This is just as important as intellectual development. There should also
be a canteen or cafeteria, as it is vital to have a snack on time and gain energy
for further mental activity.

Teachers must know and love what they do, or children will have no enthusiasm
for learning. Professional teachers are the face of the school, through whom
children gain knowledge and experience. Teachers are the ones who make the
difference between a child entering college and adulthood.

The school must be safe and fair. All conflicts must be suppressed and
children's mental health must be protected. This is a very important part of
growing up. The medical office and psychologist's office should be there and
open at all times in case someone needs help. Both psychological and medical.
Health should not be underestimated, especially children's health.

And most importantly, there should be equality in school. The ideal school - the
one where there is no division by nationality, family status and financial
situation. All pupils are in the same position and united by one goal - to gain
knowledge and leave with experience and a desire to develop further.
 3. Choosing a career. What’s in your line?
Every person faces the problem of choosing a profession at some point in his or
her life. In order to solve it correctly, first of all you need to understand for
yourself what a profession is. Some people think that it is an occupation that
everyone should have, it is a source of finances, and, therefore, a source of life.
Someone thinks that a profession is the main craft of life, a favorite thing, an
activity for the soul. And some people think that a person does not need a
profession. In my case, a profession is a job that you know, love and can do.
And if it brings material benefit, it is an additional bonus.
Nowadays, there are several major categories in the job market: economics,
sales, restaurant and hotel business, IT and media.
I have worked in several areas, but I can say with certainty that at the moment -
I have found a job that suits me to my soul. I work in car rental and
transportation services. I like the essence of my work, interaction with clients
and document management. Also, this area is always relevant in our region and
has further opportunities and a high financial income.
Also, in my profession it is necessary to know foreign languages. Often foreign
tourists arrive and I need to provide them with quality service. It is precisely the
faculty at which I study that helps me with this.
Even considering that many professions are receding into the background now,
replaced by gadgets and the Internet, my profession will remain relevant,
because the emotional component in working with people is important, which
customer service managers provide.
 4. Your idea of teaching career
The teacher plays a key role in everyone's life. Without a teacher, there would
be no doctor, no engineer, no cook. When children come to school, they rarely
know how to read and write. A teacher not only gives his students knowledge,
but also educates them. He explains how to behave in public places and how to
avoid danger.
Becoming a teacher is not easy. A person who has chosen this profession for
himself, must be intelligent and know a lot. In addition, he must have such
qualities as: kindness, patience, the ability to solve conflicts and love for
children.
To be a teacher is difficult, but interesting. Teachers do everything possible to
teach, educate and give the profession to the person.
This profession is very old. In the past, a teacher could be a teenager who
graduated from elementary school. Such boys or girls were hired by farmers or
workers for their children.
Over time, the demands on the profession have increased considerably. To
become a teacher, you need to get a secondary education, and then go to
university. There, students study not only the academic subject, but also
psychology, pedagogy and much more.
The teacher is very much in demand in modern society. People of this
profession are needed not only in schools. They also work in colleges, institutes
and universities.
People want to constantly develop and learn something new. To do this, they
attend various courses and workshops, where they are met by teachers who are
ready to share their knowledge and skills.
Without a teacher, life in our time is impossible. To be successful in life, you
need to know and be able to know a lot. And, only a teacher can help in this.
 5. Going to the doctor’s
Going to the doctor is not the most pleasant, but necessary thing in our lives.
And although some illnesses, such as colds, we can survive on our own. But
sometimes in our life there are situations when we simply can't do without a
visit to a specialist.

Most often we go to the doctor because of seasonal allergies or flu viruses.

But sometimes there are also sudden aches. So, for example, if we have a
headache, heartache, toothache, backache, earache or stomach ache or if we
suffer from high or low blood pressure, we should consult a doctor. The doctor
checks our throat, pulse, blood pressure, listens to our heart and lungs, checks
our eyes, teeth or takes x-rays. After the examination, treatment and medicines
are prescribed. Sometimes bed rest is recommended.

There are also doctors who must be seen at least twice a year. Such doctors
include a dentist, an endocrinologist, and male and female doctors. It is also
necessary to have a chest X-ray and blood tests once a year.

A very important thing is our mental health. And here we can turn to such
doctors as psychologists and psychiatrists. Mental health is often
underestimated, although it is often more important than physical health.

Everyone should take care of his or her health, because it is an important part of
our life, and not forget to visit doctors not only when necessary, but also on a
scheduled basis.
 6. Nobody pretends that the National Health Service in Russia is perfect
In any country, health care is a social function of the community, the goal of
which is to protect and promote human health. Elements of such a system were
present when the first states and ancient civilizations were created. They were
expressed in the care of the community, clan or tribe for their sick, and in the
measures taken to prevent disease and injury. These may include the various
medical manipulations of the witch doctors, their conduct and organization.

The entire history of the public health care system developed gradually. At all
times its level depended on the socio-economic and political conditions
prevailing in the country. But all the same, for many years the state left the
basic principles of the health care system in Russia unchanged. All of them
were developed after 1917 and are still preserved today.

The list of basic principles of health care in the Russian Federation includes:
The responsibility of the state to promote and protect the health of its citizens;
Creation of a health care system that includes the organization of medical
services to the population; Preservation and development of national health
care; Providing citizens with qualified medical care, and others.

How effective is our medical system? Healthcare in Russia is a state concern.

So how does the health care system work in Russia? The pluses and minuses in
this area can be found in any country. There are some in our country, too.
Thus, the positive side of the Russian system is the assurance of receiving free
medical care. Also, our health care system is socially oriented, aimed at
maintenance and preservation of human health. As part of the dispensary,
physicians conduct active monitoring of the population. It is done in order to
detect various diseases in their early stages, to refer patients for treatment, and
to take preventive measures to prevent disease development.

In addition, in Russia there is an emphasis on hygienic education of the

population, formation of people's notions of a healthy lifestyle, which is
promoted by various preventive and hygienic programs.
There are also disadvantages of Russian healthcare: The lack of financing;
Irrational distribution of money; Low level of qualification of medical
personnel.
 7. Which disease now seems to take the heaviest toll of human lives
AIDS is the acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and is
believed to be due primarily to a virus that invades white blood cells
(lymphocytes) and some other cells in the body, including the brain.
Although treatments for both types of AIDS exist to slow the progression of the
virus in humans, but for a complete cure, there is no medicine. The speed of
clinical progression of the disease varies widely from person to person and has
been shown to be affected by many factors, such as sensitivity to the host.
AIDS is thought to have emerged in Saharan Africa in the twentieth century and
is now a global epidemic.
In 1983 and 1984, French and American researchers independently identified
the virus believed to cause AIDS as an unusual type of slow-acting retrovirus,
now called human immunodeficiency virus. Like other viruses, HIV is basically
a tiny package of genes. But being a retrovirus, it has the rare ability to copy
and paste its genes directly into human DNA.
Once inside the host cells, the retrovirus, using its own abilities, begins to copy
its genetic code into a DNA molecule, which is then inserted into the host's
DNA. The virus becomes an integral part of the human body. But the viral DNA
can sit hidden and inactive within human cells for years until some trigger
stimulates its replication.
Thus, HIV cannot produce disease until its genes are "turned on" five, ten,
fifteen, or possibly more years after the initial infection.
During the latent period, carriers of HIV harboring the virus without any sign of
disease may unknowingly infect others. On average, the dormant virus seems to
kick into action three to six years after first entering human cells. When turned
on, viral replication can accelerate, creating new viruses that destroy fresh
lymphocytes. As viral replication spreads, the destruction of lymphocytes
virtually acts to sabotage the entire immune system.
In fact, HIV viruses do not kill people, but only make the immune system
unprotected against other infections.
8. London and its sights
London is the largest city in England, consisting of 33 districts. This city is the
main political, financial and cultural center, the largest seaport in Europe as well
as in the world. It has 40 universities with about 400 thousand students.
This city is rich in castles, museums, theaters and monuments. The British
capital is the best city in Europe for shopping. In addition, London is the fashion
capital of the world, just like Paris and Milan. This city is rich with markets,
malls, boutiques, stores, where you can buy everything and at an attractive
price.

A person visiting England's largest city for the first time has a lot to do: he
needs to see as many iconic places and historical monuments as possible, take a
ride on the famous red double-decker bus, walk in the park, visit the zoo and the
Ferris wheel. To make sure you don't miss anything, it is advisable to make a
plan for visiting the main points of interest in advance.

Tower Bridge.
The drawbridge across the Thames is today one of the most recognizable
symbols of Britain's metropolis, though at first it was called ridiculous and ugly
by every Englishman. Two Gothic towers 64 meters high are connected with
each other by galleries and suspension spans.

Big Ben.
The most famous four-sided striking clock in the world is located in the
Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster. It is a symbol of British precision
and reliability. Their chime marks the arrival of the New Year as well as
momentous and sorrowful events. Were designed by architect O. Puigin in
1859. Unfortunately, tourists can only admire Big Ben from the outside. Access
to the inside is granted only to residents of Great Britain and the titled persons
by special permission.

Tower.
The most famous prison in the United Kingdom for nobles and royalty dates
back over 900 years. Among its prisoners at one time were Anne Boleyn,
Catherine Howard, Thomas More, Mary Tudor and others. Throughout its
history, it has become a government residence several times.

Buckingham Palace.
This is the official residence of the British Queen. Built in 1703, the palace has
more than 800 rooms. Surrounding it on an area of 20 hectares is a number of
auxiliary services and facilities: hospital, post office, restaurant, police station.
At the entrance there are royal guardsmen on duty. There is a changing of the
guard ceremony at 11:30 a.m. every day from April to August, and every other
day during the following months. Thousands of tourists come at these times to
enjoy this magnificent spectacle. For a long time, the palace was closed to
visitors, but now it is open to tourists for two months of the year.

Palace of Westminster.
The seat of Parliament since the 16th century. It was built in XI century. It is
located on the banks of the Thames in the heart of London. Originally it was a
residence of English kings. After a great fire in 1834 it was rebuilt anew. It is
open for visits in summer when parliamentarians go on vacation.

Westminster Abbey
Britain's main church is not only an important religious center, but also the
burial place of monarchs and prominent figures. This is where Isaac Newton,
Charles Darwin, Rudyard Kipling, and Charles Dickens are buried. The Abbey
is also the coronation place of many British monarchs.

St. Paul's Cathedral

At the top of the City's highest point is the famous Anglican Cathedral of St.
Paul. It is the official residence of the episcopal bishop of London. It is
noteworthy that this is the fifth cathedral to be built in this location. The
previous ones were destroyed by fires and Viking raids.

Big Ben.
Big Ben is one of the landmarks of London, which is considered a symbol of
this city. It is not only what many people associate Great Britain with, but also
the world's largest clock.
9. Sightseeing about ancient towns of this country. Feodosia
One of the oldest cities in the Crimea is the city of Feodosia - a place with a rich
history, a lot of attractions, long promenade and beautiful beaches.
The city was founded on the shore of the beautiful Feodosia Bay in its western
part. This is the east of Crimea, where the mountains and the steppe, the Black
Sea and the Azov Sea are located.

A beautiful bay at the intersection of sea routes simply could not be ignored by
sailors, and in the VI century BC The Greeks founded a colony here, which
eventually became the second largest and most important polis of the Bosporan
kingdom, and a busy seaport. People lived here and before the Greek settlers,
but information about them survived very little.

Feodosia had to endure all the peripetias of Crimean history - it belonged to the
Greeks and Alans, Khazars, Genoese, Ottomans, and has almost always been
multinational. The names also changed: Theodosia, Ardabda, Kaffa, Kefe.

In 1774, Kaffa, after the Crimean War, together with the entire peninsula
became part of the Russian Empire, and in 1804 it was returned to its old name -
Theodosia. For a long time, it remained a poor backwater, but the construction
of the railroad, and then the port began to bring life to the town. Much was done
for it in the 19th century by the marine painter Ivan Aivazovsky and his family.
Now in the artist's house is his gallery, which has the world's largest collection
of his paintings.

The city has a long promenade, where you can admire the deep-water port of
Feodosia. Within walking distance of the city's promenade are many of the
sights of Feodosia, and in the first place the famous villas and cottages: Villa
Otrada; Villa Victoria; Dacha Milos; Dacha Flora; Dacha Stamboli.

The museums of Feodosia are no less interesting: Museum of Antiquities, A.S.

Grin Museum, Museum of Hang Gliding, Museum of Money, Museum of
Tsvetaev sisters, Picture Gallery of them. I.K. Aivazovsky.
And, of course, the famous Genoese fortress, the ruins of which rise above the
city.

Once in a small Feodosia were more than a hundred temples, now they remain a
few, this: Temple of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, the Temple of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, the Temple of St. George, Kazan Cathedral, the Church of
St. Catherine.

Feodosia is a small town with a great history, visiting which you take with you
only good memories and a lot of impressions.
10.Traditional Russian meals

We live in a time when we can afford completely different foods. We try to add
variety to our daily menu, supplementing the usual ration with dishes from
different countries, but we have dishes without which it is impossible to
imagine our country.

Traditional Russian cuisine includes a large number of dishes, but there are also
the most popular dishes that are prepared for all holidays.

Let's start, perhaps, with the most traditional New Year's Day dish - Olivier
salad. Despite the fact that originally this salad consisted of completely different
ingredients, we liked it just the same. It is a traditionally Russian New Year's
salad, which is prepared on the holidays by everyone without exception.

Traditionally, jelly is cooked on holidays, as the preparation of this dish requires

quite a lot of time and effort. But this snack of minced meat in a frozen broth
fits perfectly into the holiday atmosphere. It is usually served with mustard.
Napoleon Cake is a wonderful dessert of unsweetened puff pastry with custard,
which is loved by both Russians and the French.

And of course, there are not only holiday dishes.

Cabbage soup is a soup, which was invented back in the 11th century. The list
of ingredients includes meat, spices and a cabbage. It is eaten with bread and
topped with sour cream.

Pancakes - the oldest dish of Russian kitchen, which appeared in the IX century.
The recipe is very simple and accessible to everyone. Usually, pancakes are
served hot with sour cream, butter, honey, or wrapped in a variety of fillings -
meat, fish, vegetables, sweet, fruit and others.

And, of course, many other things are considered to be native Russian dishes:
dumplings, marshmallows, vinaigrettes, pies, and so on.
11. At a restaurant
Going to a restaurant is very different from going to a café or some diner. This
is a serious place, and, of course, you have to behave accordingly. In a
restaurant everything, from the way you hold a fork and knife to tip the waiter
has its own specific characteristics. In order not to get into an uncomfortable
situation, quietly and pleasantly spend an evening in a fine restaurant, you need
to follow some rules of etiquette. Without their knowledge simply cannot be
allowed to go further than the front door.

The dress code for such a place, as a restaurant is very important. Sports and
casual style are definitely not suitable. T-shirts, jeans, short skirts and tops: all
this is left for other places. For men it is preferable to wear a suit, for ladies - an
evening dress. Shoes - not sneakers or sandals. And certainly not flip-flops. But
tails or crinoline dresses are not good for dinner either. By the way, the lady sits
at the table first.

If the waiter comes up to you and offers you a drink, you should not refuse. You
will definitely not get a bad drink in a restaurant. Another important thing is
how to hold the glass with wine. In order not to stain the glass, you must hold it
by the foot. This is not only the right thing to do, but also elegant. A sensitive
question: how much to leave "for a tip" to the waiter.

If you like the service, you usually leave from five to twenty percent of the
amount in the check. If you pay with a bank card, the tip should only be in cash.
12. Describe the way you cook your favourite dish
Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert that has won the hearts of many
gourmets. This dessert has an incredibly delicate creamy texture and a rich
coffee flavor and aroma. The classic version tiramisu is made with the addition
of eggs, but my favorite version of making it without them. This dessert is quick
and easy to make, and it tastes great!

Ingredients:
Savoyardi cookies, mascarpone cheese, cream (fat content of 33% or more),
condensed milk and coffee.

Recipe:
First, we prepare the cream. For this cream must be beaten to a strong foam.
Then add the condensed milk and mascarpone cheese. All thoroughly mixed.
The cream must be smooth and homogeneous.

Next, we make coffee and dip the Savoyardi cookies in it. We lay the cookies in
a thick row at the bottom of the moulds, cover them with an even layer of
cream. Make several layers of cookies and cream. You can sprinkle cocoa
powder on top. If desired, you can use grated dark chocolate instead of cocoa.

By the way, this dessert can also be made in portions. To do this, you just need
to put tiramisu in small glasses or creamers.

Before serving, the cake should be sent to the refrigerator for a few hours so that
the dessert can infuse.
13. Higher education in Great Britain
Students going on to higher education or professional training usually take «А»
level examinations in two or three subjects. Universities accept students mainly
on the basis of their «A» level results, although they may interview them as
well. In 1971 the Open University was started, where these formal
qualifications are not necessary. Nearly a quarter of all adult part-time students
follow its degree courses on radio and television.
There are forty-seven universities in Britain and thirty former polytechnics (now
also universities), plus 350 colleges and institutes of higher education (some of
which train teachers).
Undergraduate courses normally take three years of full-time study, although a
number of subjects take longer, including medicine, architecture and foreign
languages (where courses include a year abroad). They lead in most cases to a
Bachelor’s degree in Arts or Science. There are various postgraduate degrees,
including Master and Doctor of Philosophy. The last two are awarded for
research in arts or sciences.
Degrees are awarded either by the institution itself, or by the Council for
National Academic Awards, particularly in vocational areas. Students of law,
architecture and some other professions can take qualifications awarded by their
own professional bodies instead of degrees.
At present, students who have been accepted by universities or other institutions
of higher education receive a grant from their local authority, which covers the
cost of the course, and may cover living expenses. Parents with higher incomes
are expected to make a contribution. Until 1990 the grant did not have to be
paid back, but now a system of loans has been introduced.
The most famous universities are Oxford and Cambridge, called «Oxbridge».
They are famous for their academic excellence.
14. Teacher training in Great Britain
Nowadays teacher training in Great Britain is realized at universities,
polytechnics and colleges of higher education. Students working for their first
degree at university are called undergraduates. When they take their degree we
say that they graduate and then they are called graduates. If they continue
studying at university after they have graduated, they are called post-graduates.
In general, the first degree of Bachelor is given to students who pass
examinations at the end of three or four years of study.
Further study or research is required at the mode-n universities for the first post-
graduate degree of Master, and at all British universities for that of Doctor.
In Britain full-time university students (students who spend all their time
studying and have no other employment), have three terms of about ten weeks
in each year.
University teaching combines lectures given by professors, readers or lecturers,
practical classes and small group teaching in seminars or tutorials.
The course of study for intending teachers is based upon compulsory and
optional subjects.
The Programme usually consists of three core components: School-based
experience, Subject studies and Education studies.
Theory of Education is one of the main subjects. At the end of the first- or
second-year students are to make their choice as to the age-range of children
they wish to prepare to teach.
Junior students go into schools for one day each week, watching experienced
teachers at work. They take part in the life of the school, help with games,
societies or play productions.
Senior students spend fifteen weeks on teaching practice. They learn the use of
different educational aids, audio-visual facilities, observe lessons and take an
active part in discussing them with a supervisor on school practice.
Examinations are held at the end of each term. Final examinations (or finals) are
taken at the end of the course.
15. English department at your university.
We study at one of the largest and most popular universities in Crimea.
Vernadsky Crimean Federal University. It has more than 35,000 students and
more than 10,000 employees. It is a research and educational institution in
Crimea. The Institute of Foreign Philology was established at Vernadsky
Crimean Federal University in July 2015 on the basis of the Faculty of Foreign
Philology at Tauris Academy. The institute has nine departments with a variety
of undergraduate and graduate programs in sociolinguistics and translation
theory and practice in English, German, French, New Greek, Crimean Tatar,
Arabic, Turkish and Persian. Graduate courses and courses in Germanic
languages such as English and German are also offered.
The Department of English Philology includes: a major in English Language
and Literature as well as "German Language and Literature" and "French
Language and Literature".
The Institute has highly qualified staff and all the necessary facilities for
teaching and research, including fully equipped classrooms and lecture halls,
modern laboratories and a spacious campus with comfortable dormitories for
students. We are especially proud of our well-stocked academic library, with
rich collections of periodicals and books, including rare and unique books.
Along with print collections, the library offers a wide range of digital resources.
The Department of English Philology runs various student projects such as the
Institute's newsletter, the student newspaper, the "InTouch" video project and
the "Augment Your Reality" virtual reality project. An annual visual poetry
contest is held.
