During summer vacation, I did volunteer
work. I taught English to children aged 2 to 10.
In fact, I held 'Summer Festival' with some
of my friends from high school. We had a meeting once a week and we had to
think all of schedule. We also had to think the budget, so it was very
difficult for us. We were helped by English teacher who teaches English at
English school and people who experienced this volunteer work last year. They advised
us a lot. Thanks to their help, we could think clearly little by little.
We played many kinds of games and dances.
We had two classes depends on students level, so we had to think a lot. The
preparation was really hard, but we enjoyed making something very cute equipment.
Students were very good English speaker, so
I was very surprised. I was also surprised at their passion. They always tried
to their best, so I respect them. I was nervous at first, but students' smile
made me relieved.
From this experience, I learned a lot of
things. I really felt the difficulty of teaching something. I have to study how
to teach more. I also learned the strong power of stickers. All of children
became happy when I gave stickers. Finally, I really felt teacher doesn't just
teach something. Teacher has to scold children, praise children and grow
children. I believe teacher is very challenging job.
2nd semester was started this week and
teacher training also started.
I am really looking forward to studying
this semester!
