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.
