We often hear that we live in the era of information. It's quiet right because now we have so many opportunities to learn something new. I couldn't even imagine about such source of information as the Internet when I only began my professional career as a teacher. Now I surf the net every day. I look for some additional material for my lessons, send and get e-mail letters, study, take part in on-line seminars and competitions. While surfing the net I use different websites. Some of them are interesting but others are not so good. Should I have my own website? There are some pros and cons.

  Of course it's good because my site will help me to express my thoughts, to share different materials and information, to make friends all over the world. As a teacher of the English language I'll have an excellent chance to communicate with teachers from other cities and countries, to improve my knowledge of the language and methods of teaching. I'll also get one more chance to communicate with my students.

  On the other hand, having a personal site I'll have to spend much more time in front of a computer. But I am so busy as a teacher.  I shouldn't forget about my family and my sons. They need me too. 

     To sum it up, I think it's worth trying to have a personal site. I hope my family will help me in this work.
