Assignment 1 ★ April 24 , 2005

○o。.my ideal teacher.。o○

My favorite English teacher was Mr.Sasaki who is a junior high school English teacher . He was one of the most interesting adults I have ever met . Every student loved him , what is more every teacher and parent respected him . He was a symbol of my junior high school !! This teacher was my favorite because he has a lot of wide and deep knowledge about culture , custom , literature , politics and economy of foreign countries . He has never said same things , his talk was always fresh and it provoked us to study English . His class greatly excited us , because he used everything that he can use , for example , pictures , movies , newspapers , tv , internet , books and so on . We did many group activities in the class . For example , we examined about something we like , and we presented in English . And we made short plays , short stories . We loved to do group activity , because we can get a lot of knowledge which is not wrriten in the textbook and we can help each other . What is more , he gave us a chance to exchange letters with students of foreign countries and to meet foreigners who live in my home town . So we could use our English practically , and we could know how our Engkish skills were improvbed . Many of the students became interesred in English or foreign countries . I am one of them , too !! Therefore I am studying English in the university .

*~● As a teacher ●~*

1 . My greated strength 3P★

Punctual … I will be able to manage many documents of students like homework and works .

Patient … I think there are a lot of joy in my school life , but there are also sadness . I will be able to get over the sadness .

Positive … I like to try new things . I would like to learn from the past , and make something better than before .

2 . My greated weakness ★3S★

Stupid … I will be a teacher like a cram school teacher . I am lacking knowledge and experience , because I hardly read books and newspapers and take part in social activity . So I will be able to teach students English grammer , but I won't be able to make impressive classes like Mr.Sasaki .

Shy … I cannot say my opinion in the presence of people . Of course , it is hard for me to warn others .

Sensitive … I am sensitive about others opinion . I change my opinion easily . I know a saying that "Where there is a will , there is a way " . I have to have my opinion .
