I lost five scores in learning on internet

Almost teachers in our school took part in learning on internet, which is the connection between technology and teaching. There are 6 models that will be finished by trainees. I think I am very careful for my learning. Before I do the homework on internet, I always check the requirements several times. After I finish it, I'd like to check it attentively. But when I check the final scores before the deadline, I am surprised to see I lost 5 scores out of 40 in model 2. I am so sad. I lost 0.03 scores in Model 1. Now I lost another 5 scores in Model 2. Why do I make some simple mistakes? I think I should do my job at one time. I can't do two things at one time. Maybe this is one important point I learned from Model 2. I hope I can do better in Model 3.

I learned something from my driving coach.

I am learning how to drive. I hope next term I can drive to my unit. I learn how to turn back to a set place for several times. Now I can drive a car to an exact place that my driving coach asks me. I practice many times only for the action. During the course of my learning, I come to realize my coach is very patient with me. This reminds me to think my reaction to my coming younger students. I feel a big headache for me to teach the kids in Grade One in primary school. How to face them and how to teach them to learn and listen to me is a big challenge to me. I feel upset when I know I am arranged to teach students in Grade six and Grade One as well. But now I know how to face my younger students. First it needs my patience and asks me to think over the ways to attract the kids to my lessons. I am sure I can make my lesson more interesting and vivid and attractive to the kids. What I should do is to attract my kids to like my lesson. Second, I should put my passion to my kids. I should love them and care for them. What's more, I should make my lesson professional. After all, I am their first English teacher for them. I have to focus on my pronunciation and intonation. I mustn't mislead them. If I don't prepare for my lesson well, I can't teach them well. So before each lesson, I must do some research with my students and prepare for my lesson fully. I will teach my kids in Grade One patiently as my driving coach teaches me . When the idea occurs to me, I feel so excited and confident with myself. Yes, this is my job. I should try my best to do it well. This is a duty and a happy task for me.

Everyone is unique.

As a primary teacher, sometimes I feel a little bit bored. Though I like my students most of the time. I think it's easy to get along with them and most of them are lovely and simple. The content of the textbooks is so simple and easy to control. But I sometimes feel upset that I can't find fun in my job. I remind what I learned in the last summer camp and I encourage me to immerse myself in my job. I work hard to make my students enjoy my classes. I am learning to help many more students effectively. Except the teaching, I find I am weak in other things. I am not good drawing, singing and dancing. For my age, I think I am more suitable to be a middle school teacher or senior school teacher. I sometimes miss the days in my old teaching days. However, I know I have to do my present job well. Many more young teachers' outstanding job gives me high pressure. I know everyone is unique and different. I should put my heart into my work and show my talent. I also learn something from the younger colleagues. I think even if I am in the position of being a primary school teacher. I can do my job well. I comfort myself in the bottom of my heart: Don't be worried, keep doing as I think. Work hard and I don't fall behind others.

The first class on the first day of a new term

It's unusual first class that I saw since I became a teacher. The first class was shown on TV, Which was hosted by several famous announcers on CCTV2, China. The theme of the first period is to protect life with knowledge. The program is made of three rounds, which show children how to protect themselves in danger of natural disaster, like earthquake, water flood, thunder and heavy rain, typhoonp or hurricane. The famous persons in different fields show the special knowledge that we must know. Peng Liyuan, a famous folk singer, Song Zhuyin, a famous folk singer, Liuhuan, a famous singer and composer, and Langlang, a famous pianist in China, even in the world. They participated in the progam to state the importance of special knowledge and help children know the knowledge. The real scences in different situations show how people in danger protect themselves and save themselves. The program show us 3 beliefs, potential in a person in dangerous situation, persistence in everything and teamwork in any situation. The vivid program demonstrate many positive aspects for us. It helps people in different ages know how to face different kinds of natural disaters, especially the children. The first class is much more impressive to children in China than any one given by a teacher. I and my son learn a lot from the program. I come to know using TV properly can help us in work and life.

An exam today

I participated an exam held by Xiangzhou Education Bureau, Zhuhai. The content contains the laws of education and professional knowledge and teaching plan. All the teachers in primary school in our district took part in the exam, which lasted two and half an hours. I came to realize the permenant learning is very important. I can deal with all the problems easily. I think it contributes to my hard work in our daily life. But I still feel a little bit regret that I can keep my handwriting very cleaning and neat. The clue of the teaching part is not very clear. I also made some mistakes in details. If I think over them, I can avoid them. Neverthless, I can use what I learned in the summer vacation to my teaching plan, I feel very happy. In my heart, my teaching plan in the exam paper is wonderful. Of course, the course to be designed comes from the lesson in Book 8, which I taught last year, so it is very familiar with me. That's why I can make a better teaching plan. I believe what my American teacher, Adam said "You can adjust what you do in the next period." I quite agree with him. I do a better job in the teaching plan. For I made it for a second time and I can improve it.

A great festival for Chinese

From August 8th to August 26th, this period will be a great festival for all the Chinese. Because 2008 Beijing Olympic game is being held in Beijing. I watched the open ceremony and all the matches that Chinese athletes are good at. I cheered for them before TV. Until yesterday evening China won 39 gold medal. I believe all the Chinese are proud of the owners of gold medals. But yesterday we also got a piece of bad news that Liu xiang quitted the match because of his injure in his heel. We reget that Liuxiang has to quit the 110meter-hurdle match. I saw the news conference on TV. The main coach and Liu's coach expalined the situation of Liu's injure. The painful expression on Liu's coach lets me sad in my heart. No matter what others said, I firmly believe Liuxiang is a hero in Chinese sports field. All the effort that he made and the achievement that he made are worth of being a great hero. His withdraw is just for a time, although it is a great regret. After all it's a precious opportunity for Chinese to hold an Olympic Game. I believe Liu will show up in the coming competions. He will show the stlye of a king in 110-meter hurdle. Come on, Liu. hope you recover soon.

A happy journey to my hometown

In the past ten days, I and my son have come back to my hometown. We were so happy to see all our relatives and friends. We had hot pots a lot , which are very popular in Sichuan, so that I had a stomachache when I saw a hot pot. Because I live in one city of South China, it is very hot in summer. I seldom eat hot food. That's why I felt painful after I ate hot pots. I once think hot pots are so delicious that I often miss them when I live in my present city. But now I come to realize that I am not used to spice food. I like to eat food with less spice and pepper. It's a little bit pity that delicious hot food can't agree with me.
In the journey, I also visited several friends, whose kids gave me deep impression. Some of them are smart and funny, the others are hard-working and willing to learning anything interesting. My son also learned from them.
The life in Chengdu is relaxing and peaceful. I like the life style there. I hope one day I can live there and enjoy my life in my old age. Haha, maybe in twenty years, I will live there and enjoy my peaceful life with my husband and my good friend.

Parenting

In the summer camp, we talked about Parenting for free talk for the last time. I discuss how to be parents and the diferences between American and Chinese parents. Becky is our intructor. Although she is a 20-year-old college student, she can share her process of growing up with us. She told us what skills her parents teach her and their quality time in her family. from her, in one child's eyes, we get to know how American parents raise their children and how to coach them children. Finally we know the components of a happy family, which contain how to control distractions, how to make discipline, how to set up respect relationship with children and how to cultivate their responsibility. The second part of a happy family consists of how to coach children and the third part is how to use your " quality time". As a Chinese parent, I try to treat my child equally. For me, I come to realize that I learn to be a good parent.

A Puzzle

I am a little bit puzzled because I don't know how to upload my writing to the blog of our summer camp. I like to communicate with my classmates on blog and share my ideas and pictures in the course of lessons. Today I spent the whole morning in figuring out how to upload, but I didn't find a way out. Then I send an-email to my friend and asked her to send the address to me, which can help me upload to the blog. She promised me to send the address to me. I check the e-mail. But I am not sure how to send my writing to the blog. How sad I am. I have to wait until tomorrow I will go back to the summer camp and continue our second-week study. I have to figure out what I should do to upload my writing.
I am a little bit silly to control the computer skill.

My classmates did a better job than me

Yesterday evening, I came back to Zhuhai from Doumen. I turn on my computer and search our training program on internet. When I logged on the website, I was surprised to see so many learners in the program wrote the dairy and upload on the website. I realized everyone in our big class was hard-working and they did a good job. Brave Alex gave me a very deep impression. He made every effort to speak English. He didn't fear lose face. He is a good guy.
I come to realize our trainers' work is so effective and on time. They collect the crucial moment in class or at break or at lunch and upload on the blog. What our trainers did made us know what we look like and act in class and at break. These vivid pictures and unforgetable moment will remain in my memory.
The first week of training comes to end. I am glad to see my family at weekends, but I also look forward to the training the second week and the third week. We are announced that another 7 American trainers will participate the training. I am happy to see more trainers, for they can instruct more Chinese English teachers to make their lesson plan while our original trainers don't need to work so hard. They are very tired to train us in the first week, though we enjoyed their lessons.
I hope they'll have a happy journey and experience in China.

A good beginning

I am lucky to attend Zhuhai Teacher Training Program in Doumen. in the course of the training on July 14, 2008. I am impressed by our American trainers.
First, I feel happy to take part in all kinds of activities in lessons. Happy learning in classes can make kids relaxed and involved in activities. Secondly i think clear instructions in class is very important. Val, our American trainer, gives us a good example. Clear instructions can make classroom activities develop efficiently. Thirdly teamwork of American teachers in class, lectures or free talk give me a deep impression. Fourthly these energetic, passionate, hard-working trainers make English learning relaxing and interesting. I am sure all the teachers in the program enjoy the training. Finally I think full preparations for any lecture are necessary and vital. English in Primary school may be easy, but how to get all the pupils involved in lessons and learn happily is the key to teach English. I feel that efficient ways of teaching are very important. From today's activities or lessons. I get some inspiration and I also learn some practical, helpful and useful ways in teaching. I think July 14, the first day of the training program is good beginning for me. Thank God and let me have so many wonderful American teachers be our trainers. Also, I want to thank them for their hard work.
