The English Teacher

These beliefs had helped me get through some difficulties throughout my education prior to college. Some examples of when I have put my beliefs into practice is during 6th grade in english class, and in 10th grade in my chemistry class. One subject that I am weak in is in english. I was never that good in english. English class was generally boring and hard back then. By the end the semester I got my report card. My grade was very poor. The grade I have received was a failing grade. My parents…

weeks have been very interesting when it comes to understanding the subject of (English education). There seems to be so many contradictions according to the articles we have read. At times I have felt both “confused” and “frustrated” because I am just beginning to understand how overwhelming America’s education system really is. It is obvious to me, based on the readings from the past two weeks, that classroom teachers and legislators have different goals for students. I wonder if politics and…

Washington Elementary School were challenging and rewarding years. My years in this school help me improve in my academics, especially in my English.

projects and speaking in front of many people with English in classes. And at first, it was hard to talk to someone whom I have never met before, but now I feel more comfortable with that and it helped me to make many friends. I was not good at English when I first came to America, but now, I can tell that it is better than before. I am going to study more to know more about English. In America, I learned not only reading, writing, speaking, listening English, but also learned how to be…

background of writing, reading and learning. I would explain to my audience detail by detail to make sure that they comprehend what I’m trying to explain.
