Today I would like to tell you about my dream job.

It is the job of a teacher who teaches English. I would say I don’t mind working in either a language center or a big school or even a university as long as they are reliable. You know, the reason is that these days I have heard so many dramas going on around several English centers and that makes me worried.

In terms of the job’s characteristics, it is to teach the English language of course. However, due to the recently increasing demand, I would like to choose IELTS and Communication English to focus on.

To be qualified for this job, first of all, we need to have a TESOL degree, which is all about the training course of teaching English to make us professional teachers. More than that, this job requires us to have great passion and patience because we need to meet up with a lot of different students who come from different backgrounds and various personalities. That is why, on top of all, social skills are critically important, especially for modern teachers like me.

This job to me is perfect for several reasons:

First, I can get to meet many students who always have a story to tell and I believe we can learn something from them like life experience, another perspective towards some common social issues.

Second, a teacher also has the capability to inspire others with his or her life story. I don’t mean that we have to always share our personal stories to make students like us but what I mean is to encourage students to love the language by the way we share our real-life experiences, examples with them.

Last but not least, by teaching the language, a teacher also has an opportunity to spread the value of the language to students which helps them see the language as an art of communication, not just merely a test or a tool to earn money.

That’s all I would like to say. Thank you for your listening.
