teaching & learning

A very good friend of mine who I got to know two months ago is working and learning with me right now.

I guess i've given him some hard time when it comes to fix certain problems. I hope that we can both learn together... i am learning how to better teach or rather coach.

Listening is so important and speech is, on the other hand, the most important. I need to express myself clearly and there are so many ways to convey the same message to achieve better results. Teaching is an art and learning is an art, too. I guess I've picked up little on the latter and there are still lots to be picked up.

My aunt-in-law phoned my yesterday and talked to me about not going back to school this semester... my cousin fell ill badly a few years ago and he had to take leave of absence from school for almost two years and he just started his high school in IM. If not, he should have gone to university already, which I have not completed yet. =p

I know what I am doing here in wenzhou and things are different every single day. it might appear boring... i don't find it boring at all lately... the students are coming back to school and it's getting crowded here in no time. over 65,000 students in this university town are crowding around like ants soon! fight for food, fight for boys/girls, compete with appearance and coolness.
oh man, lots to update later.

have fun!
