Report Text 1: Music Teacher
|
A
music teacher is someone who teaches people how to play an instrument (for
example the piano, guitar, or violin) or gives singing and voice lessons.
Some music teachers work in schools from elementary to high school levels, and
teach many students. These teachers are responsible for directing the school
bands, choirs and orchestras. They may also teach appreciation, theory, or
composition classes to advanced students. Other music teachers give lessons
on an individual basis, and may work out of their homes or from a music store
as a private music teacher. Additionally, a music teacher must evaluate and
grade students’ performance, which often takes place by way of recitals and
performances, and must give the students feedback on how to improve their
skills.
A
music teacher can work in public or private schools or colleges, at stores,
or even out of their own home. A school music teacher has a work environment
similar to other teachers, with regular Monday to Friday hours, but will need
to invest extra time in rehearsals, especially before large performances.

Report Text 2: Software Engineer
|
A
software engineer is someone who is engaged in computer software development,
and applies engineering principles to software creation. He or she also
applies mathematical analysis and the principles of computer science in order
to design and develop computer software. There are many types of software
that a software engineer can develop, such as operating system, computer
games, middleware, business applications and network control systems.
There
are two categories of software engineers. They are application engineers and
system engineers. Application engineers create or adopt application for
business and organizations by analyzing the end users needs. They will
design, build, install, and maintain these applications or programs. The
systems engineers coordinate the creation, maintenance and growth of a
business or organizations’ computer systems. They coordinate each
department’s needs, suggest technical direction, and set up any networks that
link up computers with the company.
Software
engineers can work for government agencies, non-profit organizations, and
businesses, either as employees or as contractors. They typically work in
comfortable settings, but it is sometimes a stressful job that involves long
hours and tight deadlines.
