Make these statements true for you.

It was always my ambition to become a teacher.

I am currently teaching my preferred age group. I teach a class of more than 15 adults.

My school has excellent computer and internet facilities.

Classrooms are well-equipped e.g. internet access, DVD players etc.

Most of my pupils know more about computers than I do.

My students are learning English to pass an exam.

There is more than enough time to teach English.

Students dont start learningEnglish early enough.

I feel confident about my level of English.

None of my students have learning difficulties and can therefore fullyparticipate in English classes.

Recent teaching reforms in my country have been very positive.

I belong to a local teachers club.

I am very happy with my current teaching situation.
