ABOUT MYSELF

Let me introduce myself.

I am Oxana Petrenko. I am 17.I have left school this year. I was born in Uman so I have been living in Uman since my childhood.

And now I am going to tell you about my family. We are family of four. We think we are a friendly family. So we are happy to live together in our three-room flat.

My father is 45. He works as an engineer at the factory. He is rather thin with dark brown hair. He is very sociable and good humoured. He is fond of gardening and fishing.

My mother is three years younger than my father. She works as a teacher at a nursery school. She has a lot of work to do both at school and about the house. My mother is fond of her work and spends a lot of time there but she has to cook the food for all the family at home. My mother is kind and understandable. My mother likes sewing and knitting.

Oleg is my elder brother. He is six years senior to me. He has graduated from the University and he is an economist by profession. Oleg is married. My brother is educated, well-bred and helpful. He can play the piano and guitar.

As for me I am a first year student of the Institute of Philology of Uman Pedagogical University. Yet a school girl I decided to enter the University to become a teacher. I have always prefered the Humanities, especially Literature.

It was my favourite subject at school and I did well in this subject. My Ukrainian teacher was a person I loved best at school because our Ukrainian lessons were always interesting and instructive. I always look forward to my Ukrainian lessons. I was much of a reader. I liked poetry and historical novels best of all. Besides I liked to write essays. So I made up my mind to become a student of the Institute of Philology.

After graduating from the Pedagogical University I want to work as a school teacher. Nowadays the teachers of Ukrainian are of great demand in our country. This profession is to my liking though I understand that it is a difficult job. I like children and it’s my dream to bring up and teach children. This noble profession demands of the teacher a strong background in psychology, pedagogics and a selected field of study; love for children hard work and patience.

I shall try to do my best to put into practice all the knowledge and skills and make a good teacher.

THE CAREER OF A TEACHER

Many young people consider teaching as a career. It’s not surprising: after your parents your teacher may be the most important person in your life. With all the teachers you meet, you think there isn’t anything you don’t know about the work. That’s where you are wrong: only those who are in it can appreciate it. Have you ever asked yourself why most teachers are so devoted to their work and privately think, though they may not like to admit it openly, that they serve humanity doing the most vital job of all? Those of us who spend our days in schools know rewarding the job is. At the same time it is not easy and a real challenge to your character, abilities and talent, as teaching is a constant stream of decisions.

Children in your classroom aren’t just boys and girls. Every one is a unique individual who has never been before and will never again exist. If you like people, you will love teaching. To be a good teacher you must be genuinely interested in what you are doing.

The most important things in the world are awareness and learning – wanting to know every day of your life more and more. Because teachers ignorance, a fearful teacher fear, a bored teacher teaches boredom. But a good teacher catalyzes in his pupils the burning desire to know and love for the truth and beauty.

Notes:

To consider teaching as a career – обирати професію вчителя; to appreciate – гідно оцінити; to admit openly – відкрито визнавати; a constant stream of decisions – постійний потік рішень; to be genuinely interested in – бути дійсно зацікавленим у; awareness – обізнаність.
