About the Instructor- 2nd version



Hi guys, based on all your questions and suggestions I have improved a bit my paragraph. That`s how it looks now:

I'm Vinicius Lemos.I work at Casa Thomas Jefferson. I have been an English teacher for 16 years or so.I have worked at Thomas for almost 10 years. I work at the Sudoeste Branch.I teach children, teenagers and adults. I learned English at Casa Thomas Jefferson. I started when I was only 11 years old. I lived in North Dakota. I was an exchange student.The year was 1993.This picture was taken last year.I was in New York City. I love cold weather. I have visited some countries in South America. I have visited Argentina,Peru, Chile and Uruguay. I am studying Spanish. I want to travel and practice Spanish.This is the 4th online course I teach. I like trying out innovative teaching and learning practices.

So , what do you think about it? Is it good enough? Is there anything you think I should do to make it look better? Should I include any other piece of information?
Give me some more ideas so that I can write my final version for this paragraph. Tomorrow night I am going to take your comments and post the final third version. See you guys!

Hi Vinicius...
Why have you chosen Casa Thomas Jefferson to work? Why are you a teacher and why have you been studying Spanish? What are the difficulties have you faced on this platform? Why not teaching face-to-face only?
Do you think I've asked too much?

Hello Vinicius... that's Karina again... but now I'm curious: you've been traveling for lots of places so far... where would be your next trip to? Feel free if you don't want to tell us...

Hi Karina, thanks for the posts. I chose CTJ because I studied there all my life and I was very familiar with the school`s philosophy. I like teaching and being in contact with different people all the time and I`ve never had a different job. I like teaching-face-to-face but with the advent of technology I want to explore new ways of teaching and learning.I love languages so I always like to learn a new one. Next vacation I am going to Australia. I guess it is going to be really fun!

In this fashion my buddy Wesley Virgin's tale begins with this shocking and controversial video.

Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

THESE are the exact same SECRETS lots of famous people (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.

You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.

Really, that's because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNTAPPED.

Perhaps this expression has even taken place INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about seven years ago, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended license and with $3.20 in his bank account.

"I'm very fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"

You've been a part of those those types of questions, am I right?

Your success story is going to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
