Spent the morning playing "cheling" with the children at nanshi elementary. Pretty easy to do a shoddy job and get the thing spinning but throwing it as high as the pros is unattainable.
Me and my project partner Josephina went to sit in a elementary 5 English lesson and was totally shocked at how enthu the kids were. Everyone volunteered answers even if they weren't confident with English and they read the textbook super fluently and loudly! I think primary 5s in Singapore are totally opposite. When the teacher needs to pick someone to answer a question, everyone waits in fear of being called upon. The silent rule is: never make eye contact with the teacher until someone gets called XP
Later me and Josephina discussed abit on what we'll do for the lessons (teaching English and singapore's culture) and spent a lot of time slacking and walking around. Boy it was so cold whenever the wind blew!
Finally it turned 4pm and we proceeded to Ximending (45 min bus ride to Taipei main station and another 20 min train ride to ximending)
Shopped and ate till 9 and am now heading back to my new homestay at 主任's place!
Tmr is the weekend which is free and easy! Looking forward ~
Excited for your first class not? As a teacher instead LOL
