The text under consideration is in titled in word command «To sir, with love»; the author of the text is E. R. Braithwaite. We have deal with only a chapter of the text. But I can notice that the genre of the full composition is novel. The functional style of the text is the fiction or belles-lettres. The text tells us about the attempts of new teacher to get through his class. The theme of the text is that the career can be such a fear in our life. The message of the text is that, in spite of the color of your skin you can be a good specialist. This story is about the young black teacher who tried to get through with his class. The story begins from the description of the school life. Each Friday pupils must write a little composition where they could comment events, occurred in school, criticized their teachers, headmaster; they could express their dissatisfaction about any subject and other. The headmaster considered it as an advantage, because in such way teachers had to know what want the pupils and they could to know each other better. Also pupils could improve their knowledge of spelling and written English. The narrator was the young teacher who tried to make friends with pupils. In the compositions pupils almost didn’t pay attention on him and teacher decided to get though with the class. He tried to be a good, successful teacher for them, he read many books, made different interesting tasks with them, but everything was useless. He seemed that children do not understand him. Some time later he realized that he passed three phases in his relationship with them. The first phase was the silent treatment. The pupils were silent and they do everything what the teacher set. Teacher tried to do the lessons more vivid, he looked for new interesting material, but the children remained the same. The second was the «noisy». During the lesson someone lift the lid of a desk and let it fall, but the pupil who did it, looked at the teacher with a wide eyes as if it were an accident. The young teacher could do anything about it and endured such behavior with calm. One day teacher read for them some simply poetry and when he realized that inveigle them into active interest one girl let the lid of the desk to fall and say herewith «bleeding thing», mean the lid of the desk. Since that time the word «bleeding» or « bloody» were using always by them as any remark. Once the teacher played into their hands, he was so overcome by anger and disgust and he completely lost his temper. He went upstairs and sat in the library where he could be alone, and thought about their behavior and what was wrong with them. But he didn’t realize that something was wrong with him. After reading this text I have noticed, that the text contains many compound phrases. Because, I can suppose that all text is based on the own experience of the main character, and these phrases are his own thoughts. The climax of the text is express in one fraise: « I tried to be a successful teacher with my class, but somehow, as day follow day in painful procession, I realized that I was not making the grade. » As for the plot-structure I can say that it is direct. But I want underline that the conclusion of this text is unintelligible. The text doesn’t have the complete sense. Then I can notice that the narrative method is represented by the main character. The text is autobiographical; the narrator retell about his work experience in school. I should underline that the author used many lexical means that make the story more affective and in this time gloomy. As for the morphological level I cam suppose that the author used a lot of adjectives, the words from school and psychological lexicon and others expresses. I should mention that in the text are present many lexical expressive means, there are metaphor, epithet, metonymy and comparison. The example of metaphor is: painful procession, annoying phase, bleeding thing; Metonymy: work hard; Comparison: the culprit would merely sit and look at me with wide eyes as if it were an accident; Summarize, I can say that I like this little story very much, because there are many interesting and important moments, which could help me in future, there many examples how wouldn’t let yourself to lose control and to resolve the problems.
