Working hard.

Just helped mum to hang the clothes. OMG, tomorrow is the day, the day i will start my first day at work as a teacher. There are butterflies flying in my stomach now, nervous like a cat on hot bricks. Oh god, what to do. Teaching a standard 5 boy English and a standard 2 girl Malay+English may seem as easy as ABC but....i don't really know how to start.

What did i learn when i was in their shoes? Do they still learn ABC in standard 2? or 'suku kata' like b a ba, k a ka....haha.....English,what to teach first? Maybe start with some vocabulary? Should i give them dictation ? or even make them to memorize idioms..haha...a good teacher always plans his lessons before hand. As i was like clueless of the current syllabus for standard 2 and 5, went to Popular bookshop to do some research and BOY i was shocked.

i did not remember doing essays for my UPSR. All i remembered was making sentences using some words provided. Now, they have to make sentences and write an essay. Really shocked me. Plus, they are like doing some sort of EST essay where they have to make their choice given 3 goods and their information. How am i going to teach.

i was thinking, what if they were like not listening to me? what could i possibly do to control them. i ought not to treat them so seriously but how? Still planning their lessons but seriously considering the contents of my lessons. I may even plan to give the standard 5 boy an essay to read each lesson and make him memorise some vocabulary. Searching for some of my old books but will those books be too out-dated? i guess not. Oh well.

that day my father met Alex Wong(my Additional maths teacher) and that Alex ler...very busy body geh ask my father about me. Ask this , ask that. When he know i teach tuition say ' Good, Good'..haha....at least he still remember who i am. After all, i was quite a good student. hehe. During his tuition classes i remembered being scolded by his neighbours as i was making too much noise. haha..Those were the days. Although i do not like to do Maths but i really miss his tuitions, better visit him during CNY....

wish me good luck for tomorrow. Need to practice speaking more English now or not tomorrow malu.
