Band 6+: Describe a situation where you had to work with a difficult principal, professor, supervisor, etc. You should say: • who he/she was • what he/she was like • what you had to do • and explain what you did to manage the situation.

I’d like to tell you about my first experience as an English teacher. When I wanted to participate at TTC in my institute, my previous teacher told me, you have to enroll in this course and in this institute, because I know that you are capable of pass this exam. So I did that. At that time, he was only my teacher and he wasn’t supervisor. But after our course, he became a supervisor of that institute. And then I understood this is why he asked me to participate at that course. He wanted to accept me. I was in a rough situation that the only thing that I thought about it was teaching English and I was overjoyed about it. But after I started my career as an English teacher in that institute, I understood that this person is not only strict but also on rational. He gave me the classes that I didn’t want to, that I didn’t like to. It was about the range of students. I wanted to teach English to adolescents and adults, but he only gave me the classes of kids and it was too burning out for me. So when I told him and I said, what is my real desire and it was in a situation that I had told him before about that, he said, you can either stay or quit. This is what it is. At that time, I didn’t want to put my job in jeopardy. So I put out with that and I just encouraged myself that it is a long-term situation and it will be passed. You will achieve what you want, but yet it didn’t happen.
