Learn english with songs

Nowadays education is changing, for this reason english teachers need to change their methodology. They shouldn't teach only grammar and vocabulary, because that's borring for their students and they can hate English language. In my opinion, this methodology is outdated and in most of the cases, it doesn't work to teach English. So, what can teachers do? There are a lot of videos on the Internet which try to teach the different vocabulary to our children. It helps to improve the pronunciation and motivates the students to love English. There are some videos, such as "the days of the week", "the alphabet", "daily routines" and so on. 

Generation gap in schools

The term "generation gap" is the difference in years between members of a family, such as children and adults or people in general. These differences can be seen in music, clothes, beliefs, lifestyle and so on. 

In mainly the secondary schools, teenagers look older than their real age, so in most of the cases they are bigger than their teachers. For this reason, teachers have to be aware of the gap between them and their students, because if they are like a friend, they will lose all respect. What can they do? Teachers have to put in place rules between them and the students to know who is boss. 

In conclusion, it is obvious that there are some differences between old and young people, but the latter have to know that old people can help and teach them a lot of things about life.

Remembering my best teacher...

I was five years old when I went to Primary School for the first time, instead of six like my classmates. It was because I was born late in the year, specifically in October. I was the youngest, smallest, shortest and the most scared of all. 

I couldn't hang my jacket on the hanger because it was too high for me. I couldn't put the chair on the table after class because the chair was too big and the table too high. I couldn't write on the blackboard because no one could see what I wrote as I could only write on the bottom of the board. There were a lot of things I couldn't do because of my size. 

Despite all these negative things, there was a delightful positive. The most beautiful, nicest and most friendly person in the whole world. She was my teacher or otherwise known to me as my hero in that period of my life because she always helped me. 

Maybe, she wasn't the best teacher but she was my best teacher. Why might you ask, because she always conveyed love towards for her students and that's one of the main qualities required for any teacher. She always said: "I want to instill character and behaviours in children and not create robots" For this reason, we spent a lot of time talking about our problems and then she tried to help us.

She always told us fantastic things about the unit we were working on in class to complement it. That helped us to understand all the things which we had to learn even better.

Thanks to her I have decided to become a teacher, because I would like to use new methodologies for helping my students to learn and be inspired to learn more about many diverse things. Also, I would like to love my job in the same way that she did. 

In my opinion, being a teacher means not being a person who just transmits academic knowledge. It is someone who can get into the hearts of the students and bring out the desire to learn not only academically but to learn life lessons. A teachers' job is to inspire the best in his/her students to be complete individuals, young people competent in their own skin and to build ethical and moral values.
