I. READING

1. Read the article and say in 2–3 sentences what it is about.

Teaching is still a good job, but definitely not an easy option

After starting his career as a car mechanic, headteacher Tony Ryan only did a teaching degree to get a management position in industry. Now he's driving up results at Chiswick School. "When I was at school, this is the last job on Earth I'd have thought I'd be

In September 2010 Chiswick Community School (as it was) was slowly finding its way out of trouble. I've been working as headteacher at Chiswick School since then. Managing people is the best aspect of this job. We try to push it all the time, and I'm very proud to say that last year we achieved the best set of results that the school has ever had. You're trying to enable people to be the best they can be: everyone will have a trigger, finding that is the key. When it gets difficult, you've got to be honest. Over the course of my career as a head, I have met a few staff members who just aren't cut out to be teachers. The best thing is to sit them down, and suggest that something else might be better.

The hardest part of being a head is when parents occasionally don't back you. If you have kids throwing punches, you simply can't have it. And the parents will sometimes come in and make a hundred excuses; it's not their child, it's not their fault. When you don't get that support, it's disappointing.

I'm pretty good at switching it off. I'm disciplined because I have three great kids at home and I don't feel it's fair to them to bring work back all the time. When I have to, I will stay an hour longer at school during the week; at weekends I'll probably do about four hours. You've got to learn to limit it, because if you allow it, the job will expand to fill every available crack."

Перевод:

1. Эта статья о директоре школы Тони Райане. Она описывает его карьерный путь, его взгляд на работу, лучшие аспекты, такие как управление людьми для достижения отличных результатов, и самые трудные моменты, такие как отсутствие поддержки со стороны родителей и поддержание баланса между работой и личной жизнью.

2. «В сентябре 2010 года общественная школа Чизвик (какой она была тогда) медленно выходила из трудностей. С тех пор я работаю директором в школе Чизвик».

3. Согласно тексту, Тони Райан получил педагогическое образование специально для того, чтобы занять управленческую должность в промышленности, а не потому, что он изменил свое отношение к учебе.

4. Хорошие стороны его работы — это управление людьми и предоставление им возможности проявить себя с лучшей стороны, что привело к лучшим результатам школы за всю ее историю. Плохие стороны — это когда родители его не поддерживают, что разочаровывает, и необходимость строго ограничивать рабочее время, чтобы работа не поглотила всю его жизнь.
