Happy Teacher Day...!

Few days ago my student texted me saying Happy Teacher Day..It's was a midday when I remembered how people think about me. Am I a teacher? I don't even think that I deserve to be a teacher. Then I reply to my student saying that I am not a teacher (yet). Still she insists that I am her teacher, her best teacher indeed. 

A teacher  is someone who educates and shares knowledge to the students. He or she is in charge to improve the students horizon. He is someone who shows the real world and lends his hand to guide the students to face it. And I don't think I have such qualifications.
What I have been trying to do for the last 11 years is just to share my knowledge, based on mutual understanding, of course. I don't teach at school so I don't pay attention to the students' attitude. I teach at a course to drill my students to be able to speak English well. I share some tips and tricks on how to do tests  so my students are able to get good grade. I show my students what to do on preparation tests  so they can achieve better score. I come to a company to provide the staffs with basic ability to communicate in English.That's what I've been trying to do recently....


Then, am I a teacher?
Am I deserved to be called a teacher?


Let my students judge whether I am a teacher or not.
One thing for sure is that I am happy to be what I am now.Are you?

The meaning is clear when it lies in a sentence. Then, a group of sentences will make up a discourse. The discourse which will surely decide the exact meaning of a word. What makes the discourse discernable is, one of the so many people, a teacher. Effective teachers of English as a second or foreign language must, among other things, have a mastery of the content they are teaching -- the English language itself. To understand this, it is much more than being a native speaker of English. Both native and local teachers are expected to be experts in the grammatical and discourse structures of the English language. Therefore, it is a must for the teachers to equip ...

A family holiday is always fun. It's time to keep away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. It's time to escape from your daily routine. You will have much time to tighten up your family intimacy. Anyhow, holiday serves as one of the basic need for some people. European people usually have a special schedule an budget for the holiday. They will regularly spend some time to have a holiday, not only in their country but also abroad. That's why we can find a lot of tourist from Europe. How can they afford for such expensive holiday? The key factor is called management. In my own version, management refers to the ability to manage many aspects, such as money and time. For those who have abundant sources of income, having a holiday won't be a problem. What about us? What about me? How can we save some money in order to have a holiday?
