Why I chose to be a school teacher Hello! My name is Marina, and today I going to tell you about why I chose teaching profession. I graduated from a pedagogical university, where I majored in the pedagogics for elementary/primary school students (actually, for kids). And now I work for a school as a teacher. I work with kids of 8 to 9 years old. I love children very much though I don't have my own kids for now. I love my work because as an old professor of mine said, when you are teaching somebody something, you are at that very moment being taught yourself (it may sound clumsy in English, but the professor said these words in Russian, and I just translated them into English, one by one, word after word.) As my professors told me, I was one of the most strong students in my group, passing all exams on an A grade. (Actually, it wasn't "A" grade; in my country there are following grades: Excellent (or a "Five" grade), Good (or a "Four" grade), Satisfactorily (or a "Three" grade), and Unsatisfactorily (or a "Two" grade), where "Five" is the highest and "Two" is the lowest; When a student gets Two, then he/she has to take this exam again; So strictly speaking I was a strait Five student - is it correct to say?) Unfortunately, teaching is very ill-paid work, and working as a teacher one cannot aford to buy anything but food and other necessities. A friend of mine, Veronica is now employed by airlines company and she works on international airlines. She makes very good money, and she has a very good compensation package including 60-day paid vacation which she spend travelling. I a bit envy her in a good sense of this word of course, because she is my friend. She speaks English and Chinese fluently, and she is very beautiful. She looks like those women from advertisement of airline tickets. She keeps telling me that if I also want to travel around the globe and learn about different cultures, then I should study foreign languages and then make an application for a job at some international airline company. I want to travel very much, but at the same time I don't want to give up my job and my dear little pupils. Our relation is not just like between a teacher and a pupil. We are friends actually :) I love them, and they love me. I don't want to give up teaching. I live with my parents. They are old and in need of my help. I cook, wash, do domestic chores and go shopping in order to buy foodstuffs and other necessities. That is another reason why I cannot work as a flight attendant.

Why I chose to be a school teacher

Second part (exceeds italki limit)

She speaks English and Chinese fluently, and she is very beautiful, looking (avoiding the repetition of 'she') like one of those women from the airline advertisements of airline tickets. She keeps telling me that if I also want to travel around the globe and learn about different cultures, then I should study foreign languages and then make an application/apply for a job at some international airline company. I really want to travel very much (does 'very much refer' to 'travel' or 'want'? - a slight ambiguity) , but at the same time I don't want to give up my job and/or my dear little pupils. Our relation is not just like between a teacher and a pupil. The relationship I have with my students is much more than just teacher and student, we are friends actually :) I love them, and they love me. I don't want to give up teaching.

When you write longish articles, it is better to split them into two shorter halves and call them 'part 1' and 'part 2' because there is a limit on the characters when editing.

Hello! My name is Marina, and today I am going to tell you about why I chose the teaching profession. I graduated from a pedagogical university, where I majored in the pedagogics for elementary/primary school students (actually, for kids).

And now, I work for a school as a teacher. I work with kids from 8 to 9 years old. I love children very much, although I do not have my own children at the present. I don't have my own kids for now. I love my work because, as an old professor of mine said, "Wwhen you are teaching somebody something, you are at that very moment being taught yourself." (it may sound clumsy in English, but the professor said these words in Russian, and I just translated them into English, one by one, word after word.)

As my professors told me, I was one of the most diligent students in my group, passing all exams with an A grade. (Actually, it wasn't an "A" grade. Iin my country, there is the following grading system: Excellent (or a "Five" grade), Good (or a "Four" grade), Satisfactorily Satisfactory (or a "Three" grade), and Unsatisfactory (or a "Two" grade), where "Five" is the highest and "Two" is the lowest; When a student gets Two, then he/she has to take this exam again. So strictly speaking, I was a straight Five student.

Why I chose to be a school teacher

Hello! My name is Marina, and today I going to tell you about why I chose the teaching profession. I graduated from a pedagogical university, where I majored in the pedagogy education/teaching for elementary/primary school students (actually, for kids). And now I work for a school as a teacher. I work with kids of 8 to 9 years old. I love children very much though I don't have my own kids for now. I love my work because as an old professor of mine said, when you are teaching somebody something, you are at that very moment being taught yourself/learning (it may sound clumsy in English, but the professor said these words in Russian, and I just translated them directly/literally into English, one by one, word by after word.)
As my professors told me, I was one of the most strongest/best students in my group, passing all exams with on an A grade. (Actually, it wasn't "A" grade; in my country there are following grades: Excellent (or a "Five" grade), Good (or a "Four" grade), Satisfactory (or a "Three" grade), and Unsatisfactory (or a "Two" grade), where "Five" is the highest and "Two" is the lowest;) A little long for parenthetical aside) When a student gets Two, then he/she has to take this exam again; So strictly speaking I was a straight Five's student - is it correct to say?) It might be literally correct, but in English just say straight A's

Unfortunately, teaching is (a) very ill-paid work/job/profession, and working as a teacher one cannot aford to buy anything but food and other necessities.
A friend of mine, Veronica is now employed by an airline company and she works on international flights airlines. She makes very good money, and she has a very good compensation package including 60-day paid vacation which she spends travelling. I a bit envy her (in a good sense of this word of course, because she is my friend). (too long sorry - exceeds italki limits)
