I had a great time with my Prathom 1 students (Grade 1). The children were so sweet. It‘s fun to spend time with them. Peach, ( the one in the pic) my fave student in the class gave me a piece of wafer. Oh he’s so sweet. Spending time with them is just as if I am having time with my kids that I left in the Philippines. I miss them so much. I had a reading lesson for my Prathom 4 students (grade 4). I want to improve their accent in speaking english which at present is pretty much "terrible" hehehe. It calls for an uphill struggle. At any rate, I know that what I am doing in one way or another hepls them not only for the enhancement of their speech but also for them to be acquainted with the English words used in science subject. I taught them to pronounce the words correctly. How it's going? Well, they should have tried harder and made a sort of tongue exercise to put it in a right track.We (I and other foreign teachers) spent the whole afternoon listening to the program with the visitors coming from different schools and ministry of education. It was a stupid instance for I don’t understand of what they are talking about and what they are apt to. Oh how I wish I can invent software that can mechanically translate different languages into English. An illusive dream, is it not?
I went to the motor shop to install the new side mirror of my motorbike. Great, I got a “Mai Pen Rai” for their service (means free, mai pen rai means it’s ok nevermind). Many things I want to do afterwards but none of these come to materialize, even the plan to buy something for my dinner. I spent the rest of the day hanging out with my best friend – “My PC”…hehehe one of my friends told me that the world is on my fingertips and he is pretty much true coz my “best friend” let me keep in touch to the different global community thru my fingertips. Hmm…I got to sleep now….let’s call it a night.

Teching young kids is kind of hard work. Keep it up.
