"How to find work-life balance for the perfect English teacher" I must start from the viewpoint that there is no any perfect human being in the world at all. Our everyday mistakes do not allow us simply to be great at something. To my mind it is absolutly normal when a person comes on his work, does it well and then comes back home where he does not even think about job. But in most of the cases people completely belong to their work or only to house. In order not to find a balance betweem work and life you must choose a profession which can not consume your life and you will have enough time for privacy. As to the teacher , I consider, you mustn't take an overwork of class teacher and superfluous hours in money pursuit. Because overload on job will lower efficiency of your work, will raise annoyance, you became constantly nervous, appear a chronic weariness and quarrels in family . You should use your free time between lessons for the rest. Simply go for a small walk and breath a fresh air. You must learn from the begging of teacher's career to subdivide school children problems and your own ones and not transfer your mother's feelings on somebody. Finally, you ought to fulfill all your tasks in worktime and do not take something to finish at home in any case. You must develop constantly, so read new educational magazines and books, make nonstandard lessons e.g. in park. And of course your lessons must be interesting and practical for pupils and you. You can attend international teacher's congresses. For a perfect teacher wok-life balance is a stick without the ends, because if you are a bornteacher you surely devote yourself for teaching. But if you do it only for salary you will be neutral always.
