The teacher of history

The occupation of a teacher attracts many school graduates. As soon as ……………………………….. I was definitely going to apply for a student of the teacher’s training university. I did my best and now I am a student of Volgograd State Pedagogical University, the History Faculty. I made up my mind to enter this faculty and take up history seriously as my future speciality as history of Russia was my favourite subject at school.

So I am doing history. I take a full course of world and Russian history, let alone some other things. I must say I take a special liking to the subjects (modern history of Russia, for example) ………………………………………………………....

There are many historical subjects in our programme such as ancient history, history of the Middle Ages, Russian history, etc. I think, we will start learning the contemporary period next year, ………………………………………………………………………....

I suppose we will discuss all these points on our lessons and it will be a great challenge for me to pass all my knowledge to the youngsters, using some progressive methods and new ideas as well.
