Called This as My First Experience

How does it feel when you do a job that you really like? It's fun, right?! Yeah, that's what I feel right now. Recently, I got a new job it has been a couple months. Still, teaching as an English teacher but the students that I was taught were difference. My students this time were Chinese. Yeah, for the first time when I started to teach them I was so nervous because we had a different culture. I had to adapt with them, yeah I  used my first week to make some approaches with them. Digging up what they liked, finding out the materials that they needed etc. Because that was my probation week. Hehe. You know that teaching kids we have to keep their good moods in order they can keep following our lesson. If we destroy their good moods, we will face some obstacles and we have to make their moods come back soon. Well, being a teacher is not easy, we have to make our students understand what we have been already taught and, for the bonus, they can earn the perfect score.
This is my first experience teaching a foreign students, and it's very challenging. I have to make adaptation with the Singapore curriculum. Our country has a different point of view for the materials that has been used in the curriculum with the Singapore. That's why I regard my teaching experience this time is so challenging. Besides, I have to adapt with their culture, I have adapt with their curriculum. Great! I really like my job this time. Every time, I have to push my brain to think. Making a plan, preparing for the worksheets, and thinking how to make the lesson fun. That's the three things that I have to prepare before I start to teach. Hehe though, sometimes I got stressed when I didn't find the match materials for teaching.
So far, I still can handle all the obstacles since I  can learn a lot from it. I'm glad inasmuch as  becoming their teacher for couple months they can accept me very well. The culture problem between us is no longer a big deal.. Alhamdulillah

You know being a teacher is insisting you to study harder. Thus, it's another way to make yourself smarter because you can't be foolish in front of your students, right?! Haha
Keep practicing, studying and keep listening...

Representation of White People in Two Maya Angelou's Novels 'I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings' and 'Gather Together in My Name'

Introduction   An autobiography is a book about the life of a person that written by that person (Wikipedia). I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings and Gather Together in My Name are the autobiographies of Maya Angelou. According to Microsoft Encarta (2009), Maya Angelou, is an American author, poet, performer, and civil rights activist, best known for portrayals of strong African American women in her writings. Characteristically using a first-person point of view and the rhythms of folk song, she writes of the African American woman’s coming of age, of struggles with discrimination, of the African and West Indian cultural heritage, and of the acceptance of the past. I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings is the first from six of her autobiographies. The title I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is one of the stanzas from the Afro-American poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar. Maya used this title because the title symbolizes the black people. The Cage symbolizes the limitation and the Bird symbol...

Question, Lesson, Expectation, Thankfulness...

When I opened my eyes in the morning, I always thought about something. "Can I see the beautiful morning every day? Ah, who knows." That’s only a question and I didn’t really want an answer. I just wanted to send this cosmic question out into the void. I started the day with full of expectations, “What will happen today?” I wondered and expected that something good would happen. Because sometimes I wondered about my life, "I lead a small life. Well, valuable but small… I love my life." Formerly, I always regretted if I met someone that hurt me. I always wished that I never met such people like that. If I could turned back the time, I chose not to know them. But I was wrong, I ought to give my thank to them. I realized that they were taking the important part in my life. They have taught me being a tough woman and taught me being a better person than yesterday. I learned valuable lesson from my grandpa (RIP) and an elder woman. I met her in a hospital. ...

Bahasa adalah identitas diri, tapi kok..?!

Di era globalisasi membuat pengaruh bahasa-bahasa yang berasal dari luar daerah masyarakat setempat mudah masuk dan juga 'diadopsi' oleh masyarakat setempat dalam komunikasi sehari-hari untuk menambah nilai diri seseorang, contohnya saja bahasa Inggris. Oleh karena itu, hal inilah yang membuat semakin banyak orang-orang memulai mempelajari bahasa asing baik untuk tuntutan kerjaan, sekolah dll sehingga sekarang ini memungkinkan seseorang untuk menguasai lebih dari satu bahasa asing di luar bahasa ibunya. Namun di sisi lain, saat ini banyak sekali istilah asing yang digunakan sebagai tanda atau rambu di tempat umum, seperti sekolah, rumah sakit, mall, jalan raya dan lainnya. Para pembuat peraturan cenderung lebih memilih untuk menggunakan bahasa Inggris dibanding dengan bahasa Indonesia. Kalau pun ada bahasa Indonesianya itu hanyalah sebagai terjemahan dari tanda yang disampaikan dalam bahasa Inggris. Tapi sadarkah kalian kalau tanda yang dibuat itu untuk memberitahukan suatu inf...
