Every teacher of English is eager to popular to his\her students and become excellent teacher. But how to succeed in doing so is still a big problem. As teachers of English, we should love our work as well as our students.
First of all, we should have a good knowledge of English, because as long as we have mastered English very well, we can be equal to becoming true teachers. English knowledge is very important in teaching. If we are good at it, we are able to teach us students very clearly and well. We have to try our best to improve our skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. As everyone knows, if you want to give your student a bowl of water, you should own a bucket of water. Therefore, we teachers of English have to teach ourselves English during our free time.
Secondly, we should love our students heart and soul. In our work, we have to love our students just as we love our sons and daughters. Our students should be taken good care of. We should care about their study and lives patiently. Not only should we be helpful and warm-hearted, but we also should be strict with our students. We ought to become motherly and fatherly teachers. If we can do these things, they will believe in us. They are willing to be taught by us. They will study English very actively.
Above all, we should do our best to do everything well. The most important matter is that we should improve our English and we need be strict with ourselves. All in all, we should love our students as well as our work heart and soul!
Thirdly, we should be strict with ourselves. No matter what we will ask our students to do, we must do it well first. For example, if we require them not to be late for class, we mustn’t be late. We should always keep promise and never tell lies. We should be honest to them. Honesty is very important to everyone, including teachers. If we give them a lesson in which we explain something wrong by mistakes, we ought to correct our mistakes right away. Never be shy to correct mistakes. We should be brave and honest to point out our mistakes. There aren’t people who never make mistakes. If we can recognize and correct our mistakes in time, our students will accept us and believe in us
