If you don't like kids, don't work with them

Every person is sometimes tired of his/her job. But there are a lot of people who are tired every single day, who think that their job as torture. These people hate their job and the most terrifying that some of them work at school. We should think very carefully when we choose a career because our attitude, our hate can spoil someone's childhood, ruin someone's self-esteem, make unforgiven harm. We have no rights to do that. IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR JOB, CHANGE IT!

IF YOU DON'T LIKE KIDS, DON'T WORK WITH THEM

YouTube channels to learn English

Here are a few YouTube channels which will help you to improve your English.


Linguamarina

This channel is run by a girl from Russia who moved to California and founded her company there for people who study American English. On the channel, Marina shares the secrets of learning a language talks about passing the TOEFL and gives tips on preparing for this exam. 

Here you can find many interesting words, idioms, and phrases for everyday communication. In addition to information on learning English, on this channel, there are many simply interesting videos in which Marina talks about her life in the States, her work and how she founded her own company in a foreign country. There are inspirational videos in which the presenter motivates her subscribers to new achievements. Linguamarina will be especially interesting for those who study American English, as well as those who are thinking about moving to the United States.


Lucy is an English teacher from Britain, who is firsthand, because she herself studied a foreign language (Spanish). On this channel, you will find many useful pronunciation tips, an explanation of English phrases and words, as well as lessons where Lucy explains the difference between words that are often confused. Since she is the presenter from England, it is logical that most of the tips (especially in pronunciation) and phrases are suitable for those who learn exactly the British version of English. The channel even has a video about which American phrases should not be used if you are in England.

Some videos were shot in tandem with other YouTube teachers who teach English. They explain the difference between accents of English, depending on the area. On this channel, I really like the Storytime column, where the presenter shares the funny situations (of course, related to learning English) that she came across. 


A very funny host Ronnie explains the basics of English grammar and helps her subscribers learn new vocabulary. This is a great channel for learning English and uplifting. For convenience, Ronnie writes everything on the board, so you can copy all the useful information to yourself in a notebook, and then repeat it.


A very good channel, the trick of which is that the presenter is American, and the presenter is British. Therefore, the channel is suitable for you, regardless of which language option you are learning. The information is very interesting, so you are unlikely to get bored. Both new words and pronunciations are understood on the channel. Pay attention to the Song and Stories section if you want to remember new words without making any effort.


This channel focuses on spoken English. Here you will find a lot of vocabulary replenishment videos to help you communicate in English at home. Also on the channel there are a lot of tips on how to make your speech fluent and learn to perceive English by ear. At the same time, there are not only recommendations on listening on the channel, but also practical tasks, and even tests.
