Why do you want to be an English teacher?
Because I want to change the mentality of people. I wanted to help raise the awareness that learning english can get you somewhere. So innocent back then. Haha Back then I used to think by being an English teacher, I can help students to get out of their current living situation and explore the world.I was right and wrong ( you will know later if you read on).Learning English means that you get to go other countries without worries and people can understand you. Plus, if you score your English paper, the chances of you to get in the university is better, at least in my country. Or so I thought.And so, there I was doing my practical in a public school. I realised that the students don’t want any help. Well, they like their living situation (the place that I taught was full with students whose parents open up businesses). They are the future candidate to take care of their parents shop or whatever. So they think that learning English is not important (heck, learning anyhing is not important to them). They just have to get through school and continue what their parents did. I was surprised with answer. However, I did try to instill some of the good point of learning a language can get them somewhere, not just out of the state. But more to out of the country.However, that and there was another whole mess with the school system got me really thinking about teaching again. I didn’t teach again after. When I finish my degree, I worked in customer service instead. But who knows, in the future maybe I will continue teaching again.
Do teachers get annoyed at students who answer too many questions?
It’s early in the school year and I’m trying to teach my more enthusiastic students that I can’t always call on them for answers. There are other students who still haven’t processed the question. There are those who lack the confidence to volunteer a response. Many of them are too apt to become dependent on a few of their classmates to do the thinking. This isn’t good for anybody.The only circumstance that might provoke annoyance would be when the student calls out answers, despite my request that s/he not do so. I’d definitely be annoyed if this occurred during a discussion in which I’ve deliberately set out to encourage other students to respond. And if I knew that at least one other student was about to contribute but couldn’t because of the one who called out, I’d need to silently count to three and then resume the discussion.In my view, learning how to participate in a discussion and finding the requisite confidence are just as important as learning any other skill or concept, regardless of the subject. Some students (I was one of them) need to learn how and when to pause and listen instead of speak.
Would it be easier to take Chinese 1 or Creative Photography as a virtual high school class?
I'm thinking about taking Chinese 1 as a virtual class on Florida Virtual School. I was supposed to take Journalism but my counselor told me not to start it until the 18th of this month but he signed me up for it on the 21st of last month and the teacher withdrew me from the class two days ago without even notifying me. So now I'm thinking about taking half a course of Chinese 1. The thing is though Chinese seems super hard. I know they have a ton of symbols for their words but since it's just Chinese 1 I was thinking maybe it won't be that hard. I also want to take Creative Photography but I feel like that would be a really useless class. When would I ever use that if I didn't plan on being a photographer?
Minor in Photography?
Erika, I don't think you can go wrong with minoring in photography no matter what you eventually choose to be your major. I think it sounds like you are very level-headed about where photography fits into your interests. I also don't think it was a disadvantage that your high school taught film instead of digital as you will probably come into digital understanding the basics with much more strength than someone who has only shot digital. While it's important to consider the practical effects of what career path you try for in college (I say "try" because I know many many people who studied one thing solidly for 4 years then found a totally different industry to excel in) I don't think it should be the only thing that guides you. Enjoyment and skill at what you choose to do with open opportunities in and of itself. For example, I work in television but do photography on the side (art galleries, weddings, band photos etc.) I am not a professional shooter and I don't have a studio but I certainly make a little extra money to enjoy or save throughout the year thanks to my passion/interest in something besides my profession. While I was in school, these small gigs really helped out when money was tight and every once in a while I do one that I'm really proud of too. Particularly in the touch economy we're in now, it's important people diversify their skill set in order to have other jobs they can fall back on in the event that their main position becomes unavailable for whatever reason. Employers also like to hire and promote people who have excelled at a number of activities and sometymes you may find yourself practicing your hobby at your place of work. If you get into English, you could find that you can couple your abilities by becoming a reporter for a newspaper, magazine or online resource. Often they require photos of whatever events you are covering and taking quality photos can really help your articles. Even if you decide against English, your understanding of photography will help you understand other jobs and activities you wouldn't have even associated it with. So my advice is to explore everything that interests you and particularly anything you're skilled at already. You never know how things will end up playing out and what talents you'll end up wanting or needing to take advantage of. Good luck with your photography and everything else! College is soo much fun!
Do you underline the name of a photograph in an essay?
depends on how famous it is... usually you underline: movies books/novels plays newspapers magazines bands while you would used quotation marks for: poetry short stories songs articles essay titles i'd go with quotes...
What is teacher in Japanese?
Taken from Living Language and is the best explanation I have seen“Sensei being the most general expression, there are several other words which you can use to refer to specific types of teachers:教師 kyoushi teacher (This is also a general expression, but sounds more formal than 先生 sensei.)教員 kyouin school teacher教諭 kyouyu elementary/junior high school/high school teacher教授 kyouju professor准教授 junkyouju associate professor講師 koushi lecturerインストラクター insutorakutaa instructor (usually refers to an instructor who teaches sports/fitness, excluding traditional Japanese martial arts)師匠 shishou master家庭教師 kateikyoushi home tutor恩師 onshi one’s formal, beloved teacherWhen you call your teacher, you can always say, “Sensei!” or “[Last Name] sensei!” regardless of your teacher’s title. In other words, even if your teacher’s official title is インストラクター insutorakutaa or 講師 koushi, you always call him/her “[Last Name] sensei””
Is it illegal if my teacher secretly takes photos of me at school?
Disclaimer: I am neither a lawyer, nor Belgian.So I did some Googling, and it looks like you may be protected against this under Article 22 of the Belgian Constitution. (There's a sub-article, the actual number-and-letter designation of which I did not catch, that extends protections explicitly to children.) However, it depends entirely on context. Let me explain via example:1) Your teacher's a creep and keeps snapping photos when you're bent over a book, apparently trying to catch a down-the shirt photo: so illegal, you don't even need to look at the Belgian Constitution. 2) Your teacher is just being weird: probably a Constitutional matter, and definitely worth discussing with the principal.3) Your teacher is documenting poor behavior from you and/or your friends: sorry, you're out of luck. This can be considered a form of protection for your teacher, in fact, should you try to retaliate against discipline.
