Qualities of a good teacher Being a teacher is not a job for everyone. Both you and I have been taught by those excellent professors who inspire anyone, as well as by not so brilliant teachers and in some occasion poor ones. However, it is well known that these two different types of teachers have some characteristics in common which have enabled them to become what they are. First of all, one of the most important accomplishment teachers must show is being wise in their field of knowledge. Mathematic teachers obviously have to demonstrate they have totally clear math concepts, therefore they have to get a degree. Imagine your English teacher had never studied the language properly, would you get to learn anything if you went to his or her lessons? I presume you would not. Regarding to school teachers, those who have to deal with children must have some other different skills. Showing care for them is so important with children at young ages because it may make them be more interested in the subject, avoiding giving up school. At high school, seldom are harassments and threats useful with students, but encouraging them to learn, to discover new things, to show them what they can really get with their hands represent a better solution for bad pupils. Moreover a teacher must be responsible, so that he or she takes seriously the classes, always trying to get the best of the students. Not only should they focused on the subject they are teaching, but they should also adapt the class rhythm to the pupils. In addition, when confronted against a student, they must show matureness, so that the argument does not go so far. Professors are continuously addressing subjects to a public, therefore being a good communicator and having a clear expression, are vital qualities to become a teacher. In conclusion, the fundamental accomplishment a teacher should show is being passionate for what they do and what they know.

WORKING WHILE STUDYING After finishing high school a lot of youngsters choose to go to university, though, it directly implies your parents will have to make an effort to pay you the living, the tuition fees, books, etc. Given that these extraordinary costs cannot be afford by every family, many students must abandon their dreams. However, what would you think, if there were another option to keep pursuing your dreams? A considerable amount of young people is, nowadays, working while studying so that they can pay their colleges. I am so keen to this way of living that I strongly recommend it to every students regardless to their family’s wealth. Firstly, since you apply for a university, your childhood has ended. Your parents have been spending a lot of money and time on you while you were growing up with care, therefore you should take the ropes and make you a living. Continuing your studies is an own decision, as you are not compelled, you could have find a job and forget university. You can get both, though, requiring a plus effort to do so. In addition, working makes you be aware of what really life means. Dealing with money and managing your wage is something you must have utterly clear when being independent. Sadly, our whole life is subordinated to money, we need to eat, to clothe and even to learn we have to pay. For that reason, find a job will develop the concerning of saving money, vital for real life. Not only will this provide you financial accomplishments, but also organization skills. You will be asked for excel in managing your time both if you want to get good marks at college and if you want to respect tight deadlines in your future job. In conclusion, as an adult, you must be independent, self-sufficient, responsible of your actions and capable of taking care of yourself.

CHOOSING UNIVERSITY: AN IMPORTANT ISSUE After graduating at high school students are required to decide in which university they will choose to continue their studies. Analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each university is an essential step so that the students take the best decision. Some of them prefer small schools, whilst a vast majority have always been dreaming about the largest universities in the world. Myself, I would always want to enter one of this important universities, for the reasons I’m discussing in this essay. First of all, a large institution directly implies a wide range of opportunities, which might not be available in a smaller school. The fact this kind of universities has more money brings you the possibility of choosing among a bunch of different programs. You, therefore, will find what you have looking forward. Not only does the college destiny all of its founds to the education area, but also the investigation programs are usually up-to-date and very innovative, led by famous professors. Regarding the looking for job, getting a degree from a prestigious school, where there is a warranty of quality, enables you to be in advantage when applying for a vacant. Internships or extracurricular practice in companies take part in the degree program and give you the chance of gaining valuable experiences. Amid a vast quantity of students and graduates in college, you may make a lot of contacts and friends. Nowadays the professional networking is vital for PhD students or workers, so you should develop it. On the other hand, there are some pros of studying in a small school such as the individualizing learning you could get from professors because the classes are not so overcrowded. Students can ask things during the lessons and get the most of them, instead of in large universities where you may be more distant from the professor. After all, sadly, tuition fees and proximity are the major issues to be considered when applying for different universities, and not the quality of the education as well as the preferences of the applicant.

American roommate? Nowadays studying in the States is an original and a successful way to continue student’s careers due to globalization. However, there are a bunch of complications that someone who have taken this path must face to, for instance: deciding whether you want to share your room with an American or with a colleague from your native country. In this essay I am going to discuss the pros and cons of the issue. The aim of taking a master degree or other kinds of courses far away from home is that America can offer you the opportunities you will not get in your country. Given that the core of globalization is mixing all the cultures from diverse places of the world, you will definitely take more advantage of your stage if you decide to completely immerse in the American culture. How can you do that? Of course, sharing room with an American is where you should start from, so that they will give you a wider and richer approach to this culture, language, manners, etc. When you arrive to a new country you may feel alone, bored or even frightened, since you have not made friends yet. This is not as easy as it was when you were three years old in the kindergarten, for you have grew up remarking your insecurities and prejudices, the same as the rest of the people have. Making this first American friend might make you easier to get introduced to new colleagues which, actually, will lead you to find your own tribe. On the other hand, it is important to bear in mind that there are some disadvantages. At the beginning, living with an American may cause you some troubles such as misunderstandings or arguments if your cultures are very distant. However, not only does cultural differences make an American the wrong roommate for you, shyness can be an important factor when deciding. Being deeply involve in American culture undoubtedly makes you to fit in swiftly after your arrival, but you have to take into account how your personality has shaped throughout the time and how your original culture is. In my opinion, I absolutely would not hesitate if I were in the situation, I would choose an American roommate rather than other one.

“If at first you do not succeed, try and try again” I wrote again an other essay, the reason is that I want to take TOELF next Christmas, so I need practise. I would very glad if someone spended a little time correcting it :) Thanks in advance. I totally agree with this statement, since I try to act like that. The ability of being persistent is one of the most difficult accomplishment people have nowadays because there are so many activities that people find complicated, and even boring, to be focused on one single thing. However there are few examples I will discuss in this essay, of people who will not desist whatever the circumstances are. Being such a strong-minded person is only possible if you have a dream you pursue every day. You will have to bear in mind that you will be forced to complete tasks you may strongly dislike, but your passion for achieving your goal will be bigger than the suffering. Some people may think they are not such a kind of person, but every of us has inside this capacity of holding on with the adversity. Remember when you rode your bike for the first time. You fell once, twice… until you have learned, though you did not give up. Besides, supporting is essential, as your father or mother acted at the latter case. Sportsmen are the better example of what perseverance is concerned. Gómez Noya, Triathlon World Champion or Contador, Tour de France winner have shown that everything is possible after getting through serious illnesses. The first one had a heart problem whilst the second contracted a cerebral cancer. Both of them have been roughly fighting and turned their doomed experiences into ones that made them even more powerful. They have never thought of giving up as an option, yet they remained focused on their respective goals. It comes to me that if they had not passed through that, they would not have been so passionate like they really are. In conclusion, the more you try, the more excellent you will be. Every person has a beginning in doing something, but practice makes you a master.

All college students should be required to take classes outside of the major fields of study? I'm looking for someone who could correct my essay, thank you. Nowadays students become more concerned about having the best formation, since this is essential to get the dreamed job. Knowing that fact, universities and colleges are offering that kind of complementary studies, from language courses to AUTOCAD lessons. In my opinion, it is vital to encourage college students to take classes outside their field of studies. Not only does learning concepts of economy, history, languages, arts and literature make you wiser, but you will be more suitable for the job you have been always hoping for. Businesses are looking for cultured people, who are aware of the things that are happening in our world and who can discuss almost any kind of issues in different situations. Pressure, tight deadlines, a big amount of work, etc. are the common things applicants must demonstrate they can hold on. Training other fields of knowledge performs skills such as confidence, matureness or responsibility which will give you some gap in the interviews. In addition, it is important to bear in mind that not always we study what we really love. However, figuring it out could be sometimes difficult and not until you take one of these classes, may you discover you passion. If I had not taken that course on applied mathematics, I would have spent the rest of my life in an office and not at the financial mathematics department at the University. But don’t be frightened of throwing all of your studies in which your family might have spent a considerable amount of money, you can discover your passion and working on it through the field you are expert on. On the other hand, I don’t think students should be required to take that type of classes, it has to be a personal choice because they have to look for time to do so. We are involved in a bunch of activities nowadays and we don’t have even free time to relax, so you have to be completely focused if you want to pursue your dreams. Summarizing, learning new things through courses is the best form to raise awareness, but you must have compromise.

ESSAY: REPORTING CITY ISSUES Another essay for English class, this one I've just written it, I hope someone can correct it :D Thank you in advance. ADVISING REPORT TO CAMOMILLA COUNCIL My name is Eva Álvarez, advisor of JBUP, and the objective of this e-mail is to report the main city problems which can be solved at the short term. These are going to be exposed further with some possible solutions or advice for each one. Camomilla has been growing so swiftly that what have come up are problems such as the increase of street-children and the endless traffic jams. The main issue the council has to approach to is street-children. Due to the lack of family stability or poorness these children are forced leaving their homes. They do not usually attend to school; consequently, it is unlikely they find employment in the future. Not only is Camomilla involved in this, but also it affects to the whole Brazilian society. Talking from experience, by developing the social service as well as building orphans and boarding schools, street children would be given a proper education and a family. Moreover, reducing traffic jams in the downtown is something the council should focus on. Last year, when shopping areas were utterly collapsed as usual, and ambulance was not able to go through the cars and a tourist died. That horrible event would have been avoided if the traffic had been light. For this reason, the JBUP strongly recommends the council should impose [or simply, the council impose] taxes to those drivers who want to go into the city centre. London has been very successful putting it into practice. To conclude, it is important to bear in mind that every little action leads big changes. Therefore, pollution or employment will be indirectly improving. Feel free to contact with us to ask any question or to propose different suggestions. We are looking forward your reply, Eva Álvarez on behalf of JBUP.
