Mood - (bangs head against wall)

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hell~o! \<^v^>/

Today is my first day teaching in ELS centre~☆!

I didn’t expect to begin work on payroll that fast, really. I thought the teachers there would at least want me to observe and fully understand their teaching methods before anything else. ↓

However, they are really short of teachers and I suppose that is the only reason why they need me on the move. <.___.>{?]

Sheeps outfit for today!

Sheep's outfit for today!

So as a teacher, I have to dress in a proper manner. Otherwise, I would be a bad example to the students. (Frowns) Not like my taste in fashion is flimsy and horny. (Laughs)

I still feel weird. I never thought I would see myself as teacher. What more? At this age. (Laughs) Many people would assume I’m a student at first glance! <OAO>

Anyway, leave that for me to ponder later. My day went pretty good~♫

Although I banged my head against the wall several times for making stupid mistakes while teaching. <^-^>lll <x__x>

By the way, currently I’m teaching only 2 classes a day. (2 hours) <-   ->

The students so far are quite alright. I find each and every one of them interesting. The downside is — I am terrible at remembering names. <_  _>lll

So about them… They behave themselves a lot better than your typical high school brats. Also, they are active when it comes to group activities.

Perhaps I should give them more group activities since it’s rather enjoyable and will keep their mind occupied. < ‘.’ >

[ . . . ]

You know what? If you have any idea or suggestiongs about how to teach.. Please let me know. <TAT>

And do tell me what a student wants.

I — don’t understand what a normal student wants because I’m normally the aloof one in the class and I do my own work most of the time.

So please!

Help sheep~! \<TAT>/ (Tears)

[ . . . ]

Before I go… I’m very sorry for boring everyone with my happenings.

To be fair — Please share with me your current situations! \<^ε^>/

PS: Drawing manga tutorial will have to wait. Gomen! <≥A≤>/

Yeah, agreed …

Dressing plays a role in teaching … but make sure the dressing is not too *attractive* … Students lose concentration .. XD

I don’t think you can do many things in just a few lessons so far, if you have someone who thinks english is too easy, try to challenge them or let them help others. Don’t let them sleep, it can become a habit that is pretty hard to break. I speak from experience as a student :-)

PS: Nice dress :P

Dear Poh Sim

Baa~! (Hugs)

I’m not teaching them writing so I can’t do that.

Though I would love to. (Laughs)

But since I’m teaching conversation — Maybe like you said, I should make them talk more and more each day! (Laughs)

Until their throats run dry!

Dear Gray

The students age ranges from 18 – 30+.

They are mostly Saudi Arabians, Libyans and locals.

My current class has a Korean and Japanese too.

Help.. I’m still experiencing awkward silence~ (Tears)

Dear Pixy

So does this mean I must dress like an old hag? (Cries) (_ _) Nupo!

Ok.. No short skirts… (Cries)

Dear Zaphid

Thanks for your comment and suggestion.

I suppose I can give some challenges to the more serious students. It’s hard because some of them are active while others are just inactive.

Thanks for giving me an idea.

I’ll try to come up with something.

Dear Kou-san

Thanks~ But I’m really not a fun teacher.

I think I bore my students a lot.

They were very quiet. (Cries)

And they stare at me a lot.

Dear Pixy

Right… Not spaghetti stripes and all that. Besides, it’s too cold to wear skimpy clothes.

.. Stare where? (.___.) I don’t have boobs…
