My third class

This was my third class in Advanced English II, and I can say that it was wonderful for me. My first 2 classes were hard, but this time I felt as if I was flying in the classroom.

I always pray at the beginning of the class, and one student told me that they were learning that because they had never done it. That little thing motivated me to think that there are many things that I can do and I can teach them. Then, we shared a beautiful quote " the best way to succeed is to follow the advice we give to others," and students were sharing experiences in which they didn't practice this thought.

Later,  I developed a listening, and I did many activities with it. All the students participated and gave their points of view. We share many ideas, and they started to say interesting things about the topic. They were laughing and talking about the listening during the whole class.

At the end, the teacher congratulated me because he said that I am very creative. He told me that I was doing well there, and that motivated me a lot. He also gave me a wonderful Cd, which contains a lot of listening activities.

Ahhhhh and the most curious was that some students asked me for help. As I have been teaching the grammar sections, they told me that they would like me to teach them grammar. Well, it was strange for me, but I will try to help.
