(Task 2) Essay: teachers (problems and solutions essay)

Post by KrK »

Hello. In spite of focusing mainly on discussion essays, I tried to write an essay of problems and solutions this time. Could somebody give me a feedback?

These days, in many countries fewer and fewer people want to become teachers, particularly in secondary schools. What are the reasons for this, and how could the problem be solved?

In recent years, there has been a decline in a number of people who would like to work as teachers. Some of educators state that their work has become difficult as students are unmotivated and they have to deal with issues regarding the behaviour of their pupils. Other people that could become teachers prefer to work in other areas of work, unrelated to education. In this essay, the problems influencing the decrease of teachers will be analyzed and the solutions will be presented.

The main reason why young people choose to work in other areas of work is that they can not express themselves. Firstly, teachers' wages are rather low compared with the salaries earned in other jobs that require outstanding qualifications. Therefore, some people might not be able to afford to live so modestly. The solution to this issue could be to increase the funding of education at the national level. Secondly, educators are not respected by their pupils. This is caused by increasing the rights of students and not enforcing their responsibilities. Thus, lots of students act as very prickle and start humiliating teachers. The key approach could be to formulate and apply the means of the enforcement of children's responsibilities. After implementing both solutions, teachers would earn enough money and feel respected.

Another major cause of the declining number of teachers is that teachers feel that their subjects are not important for some students. That is to say, they have to work with lots of unmotivated pupils. As a consequence of this, instead of having to focus on their main responsibilities they have to deal with the behavioural issues of their schoolchildren. However, it can be difficult for introverted teachers and people who are generally not used to arguing with others. This issue could be addressed by allowing students to choose to study only their favourite subjects. It is already done in some private schools. Finally, teachers could work with students who are eager to gain knowledge of their subject.

In conclusion, the most pressing issues regarding teachers' work were analyzed and some of the possible solutions were presented. In my opinion, our society should embrace them soon. Otherwise, there is a high probability that only the worst specialists will work in the area of education and after some time the youth will not be educated as well as they could be.

Well, I may not be able to better job that you but I tried so that I can improve :) You have written well.


======================================================================================================
Indubitably, teachers hold a key to a successful and prosperous nation. Without any doubt, today less number of people opt teaching as a career. Unfortunately, the chief reasons behind this trend are lack of good salaries, limited growth prospects and long working hours. Following, this essay will analyze this issue in more detail and provide some solution.

Undoubtedly, today teachers suffer from long working hours and lack of compensation for their work. Illustrating this, one can perceive that with growing inflation it is becoming increasing difficult for teachers to survive in low salaries. In addition, long working hours forbid the teachers to take a second job as an alternate source of income. Secondly, it has become nearly impossible to teach young children. Considering the recent evidences, one can state that children from rich and affluent families tend to misbehave and are most difficult to handle. Needless to say, such children can become a threat to a teacher and the school.

Without a shadow of the doubt, there are several solutions a school can implement. Clearly, one of the obvious and practical remedies is to double the teacher's salary. Furthermore, a school can hire more teachers and hence divide the work among them. Perhaps by doing this, the problem of long working hours would get solved. Needless to say, by identifying the rogue younger and giving them strict warnings, any kind of threat can also be mitigated.

Summing up, there is no denying the fact that teaching is a very valuable and noble profession in a society. Therefore, everyone should work together to respect a teaching job to a highest level. Undoubtedly, a society can achieve this by taking care of their existing teachers, increasing their salaries and reducing their workload.

It seems you used my free website vocabulary - great :-).

However, you said: "In addition" - try to start with a complex word like: "Additionally," - also, try to avoid one word + comma for starting sentences, too often - try to use longer phrases more regularly, such as: "Looking from the other perspective," etc..
