     More and more people want to be a teacher nowadays. This profession, even being very old, becomes very popular. It is a very complex job, therefore people should consider seriously all the facts before deciding to choose that profession. Being a good teacher requires not only passion for teaching, but also special qualities and great knowledge about the subject.

     Firstly, a real teacher is a person who feels a passion for teaching and communicating with children. This job requires a lot of patience, because sometimes children don't exactly do what they are asked to. Therefore a teacher has to direct their attention to necessary things and point the most important issues in the subject. It is really a hard work and that is why a person must love the teacher's job and all the things that are connected with it. 

     Secondly, a person must possess some necessary qualities when considering teacher's profession. First of all he has to be self-confident, because only than children will feel respect and reverence for the teacher. Creativity is also the main quality which is very important when involving students in a process of knowledge acquisition. Besides, teachers have to show interest in their pupils and never show the disappointment even in very complicated situations. A good communication between a teacher and children is also very important feature. A good teacher has to be sincere and well-balanced in order to be the authority for pupils.

     The last and one of the most important things is a great and consistent knowledge about the subject.  A person who wants to become a qualified teacher has to know all about the subject and be able to combine all the knowledge in a logical and understandable way. It is very important to explain everything accurately for all children and to make sure they understand everything in a right way. A teacher must give appropriate directions for pupils and check their awareness in teaching.

     In conclusion I would like to say that a person must think thoughtfully when choosing a teacher's profession, which is really very difficult and requires a lot of attention and effort. Moreover, being a good teacher means that a person will have to provide children with all the necessary knowledge and try to give all the information about the subject.
