My current episodes of life (2)

September 4
After two classes in the morning, I surfed the internet at home in the afternoon to search for two proper reading materials for this open class. And at the same time, work out some of the reading questions about the first article.

September 5
I continued to work on my teaching multimedia coursware besides two classes of the morning. Most difficult, it is to work out nine reading questions according to the first reading passage. During the process, I felt very tired but also very pleased full of happiness. You will be feeling very fine when you are absorbed in what you are very interested in, forgetting your current worry and depress not only spiritually but mentally. And I felt confident in working on my courseware.

In the evening, I finally completed my courseware, very happy and excited even though a little exausted.

September 6
All day I practised my courseware over and over again. Today was the last military day of my daughter. In the morning, they continued their military training, and in the afternoon, their superiors came to inspect their military training result, finally ending the successful training. Also because they continued the military training on Saturday, they did not attend class on Monday.

September 7
All day I continued my practice of grasping courseware. In the evening, I worked out my learning programmme to be prepared well for printing. I focused time and energy on the practice of reading contents. Much more practice made me full of confidence and the sense of achievement.

September 9
Yesterday evening, I received a telephone for Ma to tell me to prepare a teaching programme and a speaking-class manuscript. So today I began to prepare them in the moring and at 11 pm, I succeeded in working them out, and meanwhile emailed them to Ma.

September 10
Today is Teachers’ Day. As a senior teacher, I was very happy not because I received fresh flowers and a cup of tea from the two classes but because I was and am feeling that we teachers are very important for our students, and we also felt that education cause is so important and meaningful and worth striving for it. And we all felt that we are loved and much-respected by the students.

In the afternoon, I received the telephone from Song Keyu that told me he looked through the program and manuscript and emailed me his revised ones, and asked me to print them.

September 12
In the afternoon, I had two rehearsals in the school multifunction hall with Zhou Tao’s students from Classes 11 and 12, Senior 3. In the first class, I did not finish all the prepared content, but in the second class, I felt it was very fine because I successfully completed all the teaching content, and I felt I made a little progress in the time of control and fluent process. But I also found many faults much needed to be improved, and made some necessary changes, by omitting some of the process details. And I felt that the rehearsal was very useful for me to convince me that I could made a very gooooooood performance in the seminar.

After the rehearsal, I felt very confident and much more convinced because I knew that I could do it very well this time.
