another day has passed

안녕하세요. 오늘은 어떠세요? 당신의 점심을 먹어 봤어?

Hi. How r u 2day? hav u had ur lunch?

anyway,I had my brunch already.wats up 2day?not much I guess.no teaching this morning as I had 2 be 1 of the judges 4 an inter-class debate competition.It was great 2 c that there r many natural born public speakers around campus.it's a great way 2 learn the language too.how else wud u b able 2 know whether u hav improved or not if not by speaking the language n making a lot of mistakes?it's after all,parts and parcels of learning and life. I was even impressed by one of the speakers becoz he was cunning n convincing enuf dat I made him the best speaker of the session.


I met my ex students at the venue too.they r repeating the proficiency level but wat to do.I just told them 2 do more 4 their own sake.we cn just guide them but they hav 2 do more on their own.who else cn help them if not them themselves? sometimes u just feel hopeless as u feel dat u hav done enuf 2 help them n yet luck is not wth them.better at second chance probably.


sometimes,life cn b a bitch.it doesnt treat u good,but dats God's way of testing ur faith n patience.I hav lost count in how many times my life hit rock bottom but here I m,stll going strong at the thoughts dat there r people who hav it worse than me.so,count ur blessings n start living.be stronger,n better.wat eva comes ur way,handle it properly and with care.as human,we only turn 2 God when we r in trouble.when we r good,we leave Him.dat should not b the way.dats why we r living a hell on earth.we r soulless beings,wandering around looking 4 dat something.wat is it?


I just wish everyone will lead a happy n healthy life. consult family n friends 4 our joy n problems.dat helps. friends in need r friends indeed. I m lucky dat even if I hit rock bottom,there r always my family members n friends who r there 4 me thru thick n thin.


anyway,dont wat 2 depress n make other people's lives miserable listening 2 my whining.wish u a good Friday.hav a great weekend n lead a happy n healty life.hope life treats u better.

a beginning...

Hi.Hola.Anneyeong haseyo.
let me apologize 1st 4 d wateva appeared in my last blog.was learning n trying my hand at blogging.I advised my students to write blogs as an approach 2 improve their language learning.hey,practice makes perfect right people? anyway,hmmm,wat 2 write 2day?I guess 4 a start I wud like 2 inform everyone dat this is gonna b my platform 2 share some ideas n experiences in life,in general;as a teacher,and a person.never thought of doing this as I hav always been on fb n twitter all these while. oh yeah,1 more thing.if u c errors,typo errors please ignore them.M not a good typist.

so,wat's 2day's issue?yesterday,I was helping and preparing my students 4 an upcoming debate competition.it's a yearly programme held by our language centre 4 the students 2 try out their speaking skills.as I was asking them to come out to the front,nobody really wanted 2.which made me irritated as they met my expectations;no one wud wanna try this.I told them learning a language is not just about doing the grammar exercises n the drillings,it's in the way u speak too.how u organize ur ideas n support them in ensuring that u cn persuade listeners n ur audience 2 agree wth wat u said.students these days r spoon fed dat they become complacent.wat they want is to pass the exam,nothing more nothing less.I m not saying all of them r like dat but most of them r.God,cn someone just shoot me.

I use Confucius sayings in my teaching sometimes just to get these people into thinking critically.it works.and I told them this is wat education n learning is all about.not just to pass exams.no wonder unemployment is still a major problem in any countries. wat they need are the soft skills,not just the technical aspect of the courses that they r majoring in. well,enuf nagging for 2day.need 2 prepare for my next class.will write more soon.

anneyeong.
