My dream job (First draft)
School takes up a very important part in students’ life. There they spend twelve years of their life. The school becomes like a second home to them. There they grow up, learn to love, to forgive and to be a friend. The school is the first step to life. The most important person in school is the teacher. He/she helps students to know life; he/she opens the door to unknown worlds. And so, I want to work as a teacher.
The profession of teacher is one of the oldest in the world. In ancient times the most educated person was a teacher, he/she was teaching not only one or two subjects what teachers do now, but he/she taught four or five different subjects. A teacher used to have a lot of authority over students. He/she was held in high respect by the community.
A teacher’s job is very interesting, but at the same time is very difficult. Teaching is a multi-faceted profession and because of this, there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of being a teacher. The first advantages of being a teacher could be – it's an interesting job. Teachers always meet and communicate with interesting people. Sometimes a teacher has to go to seminars or he/she can go to abroad and see how foreign students learning, so he/she has a chance to see a world and there to meet interesting people too. Teachers can organize trips and together with students go to visit some interesting towns in their country or other countries. So a teacher can do a lot of innovative things in his/her job.
The second advantage of being a teacher could be that teacher can have a lot of children. All his/her students can be like his/her own children. It is good for a teacher especially if he/she has not got his/her own family and children. Then his/her students are a family for him/her and teacher does not feel lonely.
Some disadvantages of being a teacher could be these: a teacher has not much free time for his/her family, he/she forgets his/her own children, he/she has to work not only at school but at home too, a teacher’s pay is not very big. So a teacher has not much free time for himself/herself and his/her family. Sometimes teachers forget their own children. They spend more time with students than their own children. Sometimes teachers agree with students but they cannot understand their own children at home. That is because teacher spends a lot of time at school with students and has not enough free time for his/her children. But a good teacher has to coordinate his/her job with family and has to find free time for them.
Teachers spend a lot of time at school and even they have to work at home: to make lesson plans, to grade papers, to do all those reports about their classes. Sometimes they have to visit their pupils at home, to check their living conditions and so on. A teacher has many responsibilities and the reward for that is not always appropriate. We all know that teachers’ pay is not very big. For good teachers, salary is not a very important thing to them in life. These teachers do not worry about money. The important thing for them is students and their age. If teacher is good at his subject and he/she want to make money, he/she could give private tutoring lessons. He/she could have a few groups of students and he/she could have a second salary from his/her private lessons.

To sum up, as we see that teaching is not an easy job , as teacher has a lot of responsibilities that he/she must do honestly . But the best pay for his/her hard job is to see his/her ex-students become honest people who go on to have satisfying careers.
