My practice teaching 2

     Ms. Nakanishi taught me about classroom management. She has a class 1-1. The class is very powerful and they have a good relationship with each other. I was part of this class. The class has 34 girls.
     On the 1st week, I introduced myself to the class. I went to the class at a short home room. I watched everyone then. Ms. Nakanishi asked me to please watch her class’s short home room carefully, because I would do it. I did it on Thursday later in the week. I told them information. I couldn’t do it. It was too noisy to tell them. I helped clean up the classroom after lunch time with students. They did very well. Then, they told me a lot of things. I was so glad about it.
     On the 2nd week, I did an evening short home room. The students heard my information very well. After school, I went to the class, they were glad. It made me happy. On Thursday, that day had a sports test. I was to a booth for a sitting height measurement. I related to all of the high school. Everyone did a good greeting me. It was fine.

     On the 3rd week, I wrote a class diary. It is a diary that is written by some student in the class. I wrote a lot of comments. It was very fun. I felt I like a teacher. I was a teacher. I remembered the name and face of almost everyone. They remember my name and my face. I had been sad. It was painful to think about saying goodbye. The last day, I said my message for them. Then, they had given me a lot of message. It was a surprise. I was amazed. They said please come back to this high school if you are an English teacher. I was glad very much. So I have to study English harder to be a teacher. I do my best.

My practice teaching

     I went to Hitoyoshi city to do practice teaching. I did it at the high school I graduated. I have been stayed for 3 weeks there. The high school I graduated from is Kuma commercial high school. There is a Comprehensive Business Class, Information Processing Class, and an International Liberal arts Class. I graduated an International Liberal arts Class.
     My advisers were Ms. Imura and Ms. Nakanishi. Ms. Imura is an excellent English teacher. Ms. Nakanishi is a great commercial teacher. I had learned a lot there. Ms. Imura taught me how to teach English to students.

     On the 1st week, I was very nervous however Ms. Imura had an orientation. She taught many things to me in a gentle manner. I made too much of a desperate effort. On the 4th, I did my first English class. I really strained to teach students. She gave me a lot of advice. Other English teachers also talked me so I was glad. They are Ms. Yoshimoto, Ms. Esaki, and Ms. Ohkuma.

     On the 2nd week, I did a lot of English classes. I was very very very busy. I couldn’t sleep because I was too busy. I had to study my teaching materials. Every day, I left my home at 6:30, and cleaned my high school, and did English classes, and studied a lot of teaching materials, and left the school at 8:30 pm. I didn’t have a break so I couldn’t have any free time.
     On the 3rd week, I was busy to studying for my English class. It was my demonstration English class. So, this week slept even less than the 2nd week. I asked a lot of questions to Ms. Imura. She taught me strictly. Then, I did my demonstration English class. My English class was a failure. English teachers told me a lot of my wrong points. But all my efforts didn’t meet with only failure. I could know my wrong points so I can do better in my future English classes.

     I am deeply grateful to them.

My pets

     I had had a lot of pets.

     When I was elementary school, we had an iguana, a lizard, three frogs, five turtles, and a lot of hamsters.


     The iguana’s name is “Pochi the 2nd.” He is an Iguana iguana. He was a very smart iguana. He could run away from his hothouse so he was often hiding outside of the house. I was good at finding him. He often came to my room. I really like him. We often went to a park to take a walk.

     The lizard’s name is “Hyoumon Tokage Modoki.” It is a just an original name we put in Japanese for his kind. He is a Eublepharis macularius. He was eating crickets and worms. My father had taken care of him. He has a very beautiful pattern on his back.

     We also have three frogs. These were two Ceratophrys ornatas and one Pyxicephalus adspersus. They are kinds of frog can’t live without water. They also eat some bugs. One was an albino. He was the one of two Ceratophrys ornatas. He has an orange body. It was so beautiful. His name is “Kuisinnbou” because he had a lot of meals every day.

     We also have five turtles. There are three turtle living in water. These are a Macrochelodina expansa, a Chelydra serpentine, and Trachemys scriptas. They were not good friends in a water tank. Then, we had two turtle living on land. They are two Agrionemys horsfieldii. They were turtles that don’t move. But they often needed a sunbath so I made do a sunbath them with Pochi 2nd. They looked like it felt good.

     Fianlly, we had a lot of hamsters. They increased in geometrical progression. I could know there were how many hamsters. But, they were so cute. My brother fondled them very much.


     I really like them!
