I
am from Kharkiv which is a city in Ukraine.
I'm
53.
My
occupation is teacher math and IT.
I
began my studies at the university back in 1986.
I
used a Yamaha computer without a OS like Windows.
I
was writing programs in MSX BASIC and TurboPascal.
In
1991, I began my career at school.
I
taught children MS Office – MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Excel.
In
2002, I became interested in web design (HTML and CSS).
After
that I led to my promotion.
I
became a teacher in Academia in Kharkiv in 2003.
From
2003 until the beginning of the war, I taught schoolteachers how to use the
Internet, office applications and digital technologies.
I cannot return back until war is over,
humanitarian situation improved, and we have guarantees of peaceful life. City
is bombarded constantly, and my apartment building was heavily damaged and will
have to be restored.
I am from Kharkiv. My city was heavily shelled. I was able to left Ukraine in the middle of the war. My apartment building was heavily damaged. The windows were shuttered, and walls were damaged by shrapnel. My second cousin helped me to move to Australia and is supporting me now. But I cannot depend on his family forever. I still receive 20% of my former salary back in Ukraine, but it is just $104 per month, and I do not know for how long it will continue. It is all I have. I am an educated person, I am studying English and plan to find a job as soon as I can, but until then I need governmental help.

Whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.
I am doing well.
My English is
improving day by day.
Because I've been
practicing for over a year now.
But English is
still a job for me.
And like any job, it
gets boring.
I get tired quickly
and want to switch.
What’s nice about this is that the study is getting easy and
easy every day.
My English is getting
better and better every day.
For example, English songs that I listened to 40 years ago
have now become clear to me.
It is very funny.
This is amazing.
My social life is
expanding.
I’ve been
volunteering not just one day, but two.
The community invites me to the holidays. They are all very
nice people.
At the university
I'm already at level 3.
Classes have become
easier because we talk more, and it’s easier to get lost in the crowd)
Listen more and talk
less.
I'm kidding) Of
course I try.
I was lucky that my
accent is less strong than other students.
That’s why everyone
at University thinks I speak well.
I appreciate any
compliment.
It's supports me,
improves my mood, gives me braver.
I didn't ride a bike
to University in winter.
I replaced the bike
with trips to the gym and swimming pool.
I don't even know how to put into words how great this is.
I’m already over 50
years old, so I have a preferential program.
I can use the pool
and gym every day for an unlimited time.
And at a very low
price.
I went to the gym thanks to Robert.
Antosha took me to Robert.
Robert advised me to breathe correctly to correct all my old
problems.
I can't go to yoga. Class time is not right.
So, I signed up for the gym and now I’m absolutely happy.
Thanks to Robert and
the Australian government.
Now I'm training to
typing.
And I’m going to
look for a job as a typist.
I was trying look for a cleaning job.
But it’s very difficult.
I wanted to find a
job only on weekends, but no one works on weekends.
Starting next term
in my University I will work 1 day as a volunteer teacher. In a class for
beginners to learn English as a second language. This is very wonderful. This
is a very responsible job. I'm glad I was able to achieve it.

До войны моя жизнь была совсем другой. Я путешествовал по Европе и проводил много времени с друзьями. Теперь я могу общаться с ними и семьей только в Интернете. Я очень скучаю по ним и надеюсь, что скоро в моей стране наступит мир.

easy sentences answer the question "why I did enjoy my job as a it
teacher?"
I loved my job as an IT teacher because I got to share my knowledge and passion for technology with my students.
Teaching IT allowed me to stay up to date with the
ever-changing world of technology, which kept me excited and motivated in my
work.
Interacting with students and seeing their growth and
enthusiasm as they learned new IT skills made every day fulfilling and
enjoyable for me.
To teach adults effectively, you need expertise in the subject, good communication skills, patience, adaptability, empathy, facilitative skills, respect for learners, and a commitment to continuous learning.
WRITE ANSWER
THE QUESTION WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT CROSSED THEIR MIND WHEN THEY SAW
AUSTRALIA?
Why I like to be a teacher
There are several reasons why someone might enjoy being a teacher. Here are a few common reasons:
Making a Difference: Many people are drawn to teaching because they have a strong desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others, particularly students. As a teacher, you have the opportunity to shape young minds, inspire curiosity, and instill knowledge that can have a lasting effect on your students' lives.
Passion for a Subject: If you have a deep passion for a particular subject, becoming a teacher allows you to share that passion with others. Teaching gives you the chance to delve into the intricacies of your subject and convey your enthusiasm to students, potentially igniting their interest and helping them develop a love for the subject as well.
Continuous Learning: Teaching is a profession that promotes continuous learning. As you prepare lessons, research new teaching methods, and interact with your students, you often find yourself expanding your own knowledge and gaining fresh insights. It can be intellectually stimulating and fulfilling to stay engaged with your subject matter and to constantly seek new ways to improve your teaching skills.
Building Relationships: Teachers have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with their students. By creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, you can foster strong connections with your students, providing mentorship, guidance, and emotional support. Witnessing the growth and success of your students can be incredibly rewarding.
Creativity and Flexibility: Teaching offers a creative outlet where you can design lessons and activities tailored to your students' needs and interests. You can experiment with different teaching methods, adapt your approach based on individual learning styles, and find innovative ways to engage your students. This flexibility and creativity allow you to bring your own unique talents and strengths into the classroom.
Job Security and Stability: Teaching is often considered a stable profession with a relatively high level of job security. There is typically a consistent demand for qualified teachers, and once you establish yourself in the field, you can enjoy a sense of stability in your career.
Personal Fulfillment: For many individuals, the intrinsic rewards of teaching bring a deep sense of personal fulfillment. The knowledge that you are positively influencing the lives of others, helping them grow and succeed, can bring immense satisfaction and a sense of purpose to your work.
Of course, these reasons may vary from person to person, and each individual's experience in teaching can be unique. Ultimately, it is important to reflect on your own passions, strengths, and goals to determine why you personally enjoy being a teacher.
What qualities do you need to have to teach adults?
Teaching adults requires a specific set of qualities and skills to effectively engage and educate mature learners. Here are some important qualities that can contribute to successful adult teaching:
Expertise in the subject matter: A solid understanding and expertise in the subject you are teaching is crucial. Adults often seek knowledge and skills to apply in their personal or professional lives, so it's important to have a deep understanding of the subject matter to provide accurate information and guidance.
Communication skills: Effective communication is key to teaching adults. You should be able to articulate concepts clearly, explain complex ideas in a simplified manner, and adapt your communication style to different individuals or groups. Active listening is also essential to understand the needs and perspectives of your adult learners.
Patience and empathy: Adults may have diverse backgrounds, varying levels of prior knowledge, and different learning styles. Patience and empathy are important qualities to create a supportive learning environment and address individual needs. Recognize that adults may face personal and professional challenges that can impact their learning process, and provide guidance and encouragement accordingly.
Adaptability and flexibility: Adult learners often have busy schedules and competing commitments. As a teacher, you should be adaptable and flexible to accommodate their needs. This might involve offering flexible class times, providing various learning resources, or utilizing different teaching methods to suit individual preferences.
Facilitation and facilitative skills: Instead of relying solely on traditional lecturing, adult teaching often involves facilitating discussions, group activities, and collaborative learning experiences. The ability to create an interactive and participatory environment where adults can actively engage in the learning process is crucial.
Respect for adult learners: Recognize that adult learners come with life experiences and a desire to be treated as equals. Show respect for their opinions, encourage their active participation, and create opportunities for them to contribute their knowledge and perspectives to the learning process.
Continuous learning and improvement: Teaching adults requires staying up-to-date with current research, trends, and developments in the field. As an adult educator, it's important to engage in professional development activities, attend conferences or workshops, and seek feedback from your learners to continuously improve your teaching practices.
Remember, teaching adults is a dynamic and ongoing process that requires constant reflection, adaptation, and growth. By possessing these qualities and continuously refining your skills, you can create a positive and effective learning experience for adult learners.
Today
I want to tell you about my work.
I chose this topic for two reasons.
Firstly,
English before and now it's a challenge for me.
Secondly, it is easier for me to communicate about something interesting in english.
As a result, I will talk about my work.
I
always want to become a teacher.
I
began my studies at the university back in 1986.
Just
at those time a new occupation has appeared at this university - computer
science teacher.
I really enjoyed studying because I had the
opportunity to work with the computer every day.
I used a Yamaha computer without a modern OS
like Windows, MS Office, web browsers, icons and even a mouse.
At
those time, I was actively writing programs in MSX BASIC and TurboPascal.
In
1991, I began my career in school.
I
taught children what I had learned at university.
Then in 2000, donors provided black and white
laptops to our school.
And
I needed to learn all MS Office on my own.
Nobody
taught me, I taught myself.
During
this period, I learned to create many interesting things.
For
example this is a nice presentation.
In
2002, I became deeply interested in web design.
And
I needed to learn HTML and CSS on my own.
Nobody
taught me, I taught myself.
And
I created an online course that was a huge success.
This
achievement led me to get a promotion.
I
became a teacher in Academia in 2003.
From 2003 until the start of the war, I taught
adults.
I
had taught them how to use the Internet, office applications and digital
technologies.
I
enjoy to master new skills and knowledge throughout life.
What's
why, as soon as I arrived in Australia, I began to study English.
Today I want to talk about my work.
I chose this topic for 2 reasons.
First - English is still a challenge for me.
Secondly, it’s easier for me to speak in English about what
I like.
So I will talk about my work today.
I always wanted to be a teacher.
I started studying at the university in 1986.
At that time a new specialty opened there - computer science
teacher.
I really enjoyed studying.
I had the opportunity to work on the computer every day.
It was a computer Yamaha.
He was without OS windows, MS Office, Web browser, Icons and
mouse))
I wrote programme in MSX BASIC and TurboPascal language.
In 1991 I started working at a school.
I taught the children what I learned at university.
In 2000, sponsors bought black and white laptops for my school.
I had to teach MS Office myself.
At that time I learned how to make such interesting
presentations.
In 2002 I became interested in web design.
It looks like this…
I created an online course.
He was very successful.
Therefore, in 2003 I was invited to change my job at school
to work at the academy.
From 2003 until the war, I taught adults.
I taught them the Internet, Office and digital technologies.
I love my job very much.
I really like to learn new things.
So as soon as I arrived in Australia.
I started learning English.
Thanks to the university teachers for helping me with this.
My dream is to pass the exam and work as a teacher in
Australia.

The Yamaha computer was introduced in 1984-1985 and was
based on the MSX standard. The home computer had an 8-bit Zilog Z80 processor
clocked at 3.5 MHz, and ran an operating system very similar to MS-DOS in
addition to the standard MSX BASIC.
My
students acquire basic Internet skills, upgrade them knowledge of MS Office
applications and learn to create electronic resources.

Да у меня всё
хорошо.
Мой английский улучшается день ото дня.
Потому что я практикуюсь уже больше года.
Но английский по-прежнему остается для меня работой.
И как любая работа - надоедает.
Я быстро устаю и хочу
переключиться.
Что в этом приятного, что всё таки работа с каждым днём делается всё лучше и лучше.
Мой английский с каждым днём лучше и лучше.
Например, английские песни которые я слушала 40 лет назад теперь стали мне понятны.
Это очень весело. Это восхитительно.
Моя общественная жизнь расширяется.
Я волонтёрю уже не один день, а два.
Комьюнити приглашает меня на праздники. Они все очень приятные люди.
В университете я уже на 3 уровне.
Занятия стали легче потому что больше разговариваем, а в толпе легче
затеряться)
Больше слушать меньше говорить.
Я шучу) Конечно я
стараюсь.
Мне повезло что все таки у меня акцент менее выражен чем у остальных
студентов.
В университете поэтому все считают я хорошо говорю.
Любой комплимент мне приятен.
Поддерживает меня, улучшает настроение, придаёт сил.
Зимой я не ездила на велосипеде.
Заменяла велосипед походами в спортзал и бассейн.
Даже не знаю как передать словами как это здорово.
Тут сыграл на руку мой возраст я уже старше 50 лет поэтому у меня льготная программа.
Я могу посещать бассейн
и тренажерный зал каждый день неограниченное время.
И по очень низкой цене.
В спортзал я
пошла благодаря Роберту.
Антоша отвёл меня к нему.
Роберт мне посоветовал, чтобы исправить все мои старые проблемы
правильно дышать.
На йогу я
не могу ходить. Не подходит время занятий.
И вот я записалась в спортзал и теперь абсолютно счастлива.
Благодаря Роберту и австралийскому правительству.
Сейчас я тренируюсь чтобы освоить слепой 10 пальцевой метод печати.
И собираюсь искать работу машинистки, потому что с клининговыми компаниями очень сложно.
я хотела найти работу только на выходные, а выходные никто не работает.
Со следующей четверти я буду работать 1 день волонтером в университете.
В классе для начинающих учить английский как второй язык. Это очень
замечательно. Я в восторге. Это очень отвественная работа. Я рада что смогла
добиться ее.

"I am
doing well. My English is improving day by day because I've been practicing for
over a year now. However, English is still a job for me, and like any job, it
can get boring. I get tired quickly and sometimes want to switch.
What's nice
about this rutune is that the work becomes easier every day, and my English is
getting better and better. For example, English songs that I listened to 40
years ago are now becoming clear to me. It's very amusing, and it's amazing to
see my progress.
My social
life is expanding. I've been volunteering not just for one day but for two. The
community invites me to join them during holidays, and they are all very nice
people. At the university, I'm already at level 3. Classes have become easier
because we engage in more conversation, and it's easier to get lost in the
crowd. (Listen more and talk less – just kidding!) Of course, I try my best.
I consider
myself lucky that my accent is less pronounced than that of other students,
which is why everyone at the university thinks I speak well. I appreciate any
compliment as it supports me, improves my mood, and gives me strength.
During
winter, I didn't ride a bike to the university. I replaced the bike with trips
to the gym and the swimming pool. My age
played into my hands here; I'm already over 50 years old, so I benefit from a
preferential program that allows me to use the pool and gym every day for an
unlimited time at a very low price.
I started
going to the gym thanks to Robert. Antosha introduced me to him, and Robert
advised me on proper breathing techniques to address all my old problems.
Unfortunately, I couldn't attend yoga classes due to the inconvenient class
times, so I signed up for the gym, and now I'm absolutely happy, thanks to
Robert and the Australian government.
Currently,
I'm training to master the 10-finger touch typing method, and I plan to look
for a job as a typist because finding work with cleaning companies has proven
difficult. Initially, I aimed to find a job only on weekends, but it turns out
that not many people work on weekends. Starting next quarter, I will work one
day as a volunteer at the university, assisting beginners in learning English
as a second language. I find this opportunity wonderful, and I am delighted to
have achieved it. It's a very responsible job, and I'm looking forward to
it."
I
lived in Kharkiv when the war began. On the 24th of February at 5am we woke up
due to sound of explosions. The city of Kharkiv was surrounded by Russian
forces and was bombarded day and night. I lived in the besieged city. My
apartment building was heavily damaged. The first time it was shelled on the
2nd of March. Then on the 25th and 26th of March. The windows were shuttered,
and walls were damaged by shrapnel. I have spent nights in basements and subway
stations. I saw explosions, fires, and buildings that were completely destroyed
by enemy fire. I was afraid to leave for groceries at the daytime and was
afraid to sleep at night. There was a constant stench as something were always
burning in the city. I was finally able to leave the city when occupational
forces were just 7 kilometres from the city perimeter, and it was constantly
bombarded. The day before, one of the shells exploded near the post office
across the road where people were queued to get humanitarian aid. I was afraid
to stay any longer because city could be captured at any time. The humanitarian
situation was dreadful. There were no electricity and water, and our apartment
building gas pipe was destroyed.
I
cannot return back until war is over, humanitarian situation improved, and we
have guarantees of peaceful life. City is bombarded constantly, and my
apartment building was heavily damaged and will have to be restored.
