わたしは 水曜日が きらいです!!!
10:23 PM For those who dun understand, it means I HATE WEDNESDAY!!! Wed is the most stressful day of the week. No doubt, I do love jap classes(especially ナガミsensei's wed tutorial :D ). But there are a lot of preparation work to do. Tutorial always come with vocabulary quiz though it's not tt difficult but I took quite some time to memorise. Then there is oso a lecture quiz for every wed lecture. So almost every wed, there are two quizzes... I oso need to read beforehand for the lecture so I won't be too lost (which I always am. :X)... But PASSION is the word! There is no regret. At least it adds some 'colour' to my last sem. :D What I really hate is Chinese tuition! :S I'm giving tuition to two Arabians sisters, Pri 1 & K1, every wed. It's their third language which means they dun know chinese at all... I was asked to teach them 'basic' chinese, dun have to follow the school syllabus cos it's too difficult for them! The task sounded simple but it actually means I have to prepare my own material!!! I bought pre-school assignment books for them but their mum complained it's too difficult. :S I realised pri sch syllabus is meant for chinese-speaking students. Not for them! They not only have short span of concentration time. They can hardly read n write (even words like 是,太, 很 are alien to them!) basic strokes and simple words. I always end up teaching them vocabulary. The worst thing is... their mum always sits in for every session. Watching everything I did and commented on my teaching method. Sometime I have to write (on spot) hanyu pinyin for words tt I'm totally unprepared. So that she can coach them when i'm not around.... Long time since I last touched Chinese, 6 yrs since O level! Stress... Even if she didn't say anything, my conscience would bother me. I really can't teach them. I just dun know how to teach a foreign language to someone who does not have any contact with the language at all. I can't! I dun know how... Quitting crossed my mind.. I think I really should! |
