English Proficiency Phrase 3

Right now, I am sitting in Makmal Komputer at Pusat Latihan Guru Sungai Karangan. We are learning to Develop our writing skills in English. We are required to create our own blog and try to write a blog.

尝试告诉小孩，他可以做什么，而不是不可以做什么

2009年2月24日，我小学有很多老师去开会，于是我们便合班，以避免每一个老师连续从7。40上课至1。10而无休息。

这是我人生第一次教合班，每次只听我朋友说合班有多难教。我今天终于体会到了。我也因此而学会了一件事，感谢今年的一二年级的学生。

我对班级控制还很菜鸟，我的班很多时候都很吵。现在是合班，简直是巴刹。我进去分半小时教二年级，后他们做功课半小时。一年级前半小时做订正，后半小时教书。结果我的班还满吵，但我还可以顶啦。

有几个同学超级吵及捣蛋，我只是给口头警告及再拿藤鞭吓小孩，而且时时吩咐他们坐静静，不可以吵，嘴巴闭起来，拿书出来读，拿起他功课出来做，但还是会乱。最后倒是我重复得自己生自己的闷气，为什么自己那么没威严。

从那班踏出来，我已是满头大汗。想一想，我应该告诉他们可以做什么，因该去想想他们可以干什么，而不是一直的叫他们闭上嘴巴，坐静静。

建议下次给多一点的功课吧！或涂颜色， 或杀一儆百，真的狠狠打一鞭！

22 Jan sorry, my dear students!!

22/1/2008

今天，我教完二年级的kelas pemulihan,我就直向慧绮喊我想要杀人了！现在想了起来，实在是不应该。对不起，二年级！今天，我要他们背六种颜色的马来文名字后才可以玩，过了４０分钟，他们还无法办到；于是我就减价，便３个就好，才在后来下课前五分钟完成了！我很气馁，我很气！
现在回想，我会不会很牵强，强人所难？因为之后我教三年级，我的爱徒，我才发下他们也很难背意思 ^_^!!!

除此之外，今天下午是我第二次留学生下来，因为他们没做英文功课！有一位小妹妹的姐姐（六年级）问我为什么她的妹妹不可以回家，因为她们的爸爸在校外等候。我觉得很对不起，于是对那位小妹妹开条件，她可以回家做，但一定要做，但她却非常的坚决地告诉我她要先写完，因为他回家后便会不做！很坦白，我很喜欢她，而且她也长得很可爱！

Today I taught Year 2 English, I use 30 minutes to explain to them how to do correction for writing. They copy wrong spelling, eat all the question mark or space. After I explain, they still look blurring. They are very hard working to do correction. After that, I found that I should use red pen to write all the correct word for them but not ask them to copy again! I am sorry, Year 2. I will improve me next time.

For Pemulihan Year 2 and BI year 2, I found that I am not a good teacher and not good in explanation. But all of you never get angry of me. Next time, when you fail to understand what I teach, I will remind me for today. Don’t angry. Thanks.

雪芳，加油！你是最棒的！我可以成为一位好老师！我想要成为一位好老师！我会成为一位好老师！加油！

2 weeks in IPTA

I can online again. I think that I am just like writing monthly diary now. Let’s me update my latest news again to all of you. Right now I am online in IPTA(institute Perguruan Darul Aman in Kedah) library.

I register to IPTA on 19 Nov 2007. We have 2 days orientation then 3rd day is our study day until right now. We will have one month lesson until 13 Dec 2007. Later I will have my own holiday until 31 Dec 2007. 2nd Jan 2008 will be the first day of Choong Cheng primary school. But as a teacher I need to be there on 1st Jan 2008 to do some school stuff.

15 Nov 2007 is the last day of primary school which in Kedah State. Later I go to Penang to do some stuff like take my IC from 3G, exchange my WBG bed and the V6 which Grace. Besides, I meet with all of my best friends. Maro is going to Melacca soon. She will migrate there and work and learn to become “siu lai lai”. ^_^The most incredible thing is I ride motor(Modenas Kriss) from Kangar to Penang Island.. It takes me about 3 hours to Penang. It is a bad journey because there has extremely heavy rain for around 1 hour for my journey. I am so rush to Penang because I want to go there to take my IC and open BSN account which is requested by IPTA. But I failed to achieve my target. I showed bad temper to 3G, sorry. She is sick due to the terrible weather recently. However, I am still very happy because I can ride so far and arrive safely and can take back my IC and continue my other stuff.

In early stage, we plan to go to Cameron for our farewell trip. But lastly we end up met in Sungai 2 KFC and take its breakfast set as our farewell trip. ^_^ Irene is very healthy and happy feeling. Chin Thin Leng Lui is become more beautiful. Maro, 3G and Jie Xin are healthy too. All of us think that Mc Donald breakfast is much more delicious and better than KFC.

Right now let me say about IPTA life. I think all of you leave study life for so long include me. So right now I need to back to stay in hostel, go to study from 8am to 4.30pm or 5.30pm life. It is quite uneasy for me for first few days. After 3 days, I start to adapt to it. However, I am not so active in orientation like what I did in UTM orientation. I almost know all of the girls in KTC(my college) in my 7 days orientations. But in IPTA, I am so quiet and keep to myself. :)

Our course is KPLI-KDC-Pemulihan-SKM(Kursus Perguruan Lepas Ijazah-Kursus Dalam Cuti-Pemulihan-Sekolah Kurang Murid). We have 3 groups of guru pemulihan. Every group has 25 teachers. My group is SKMII. We only have few Chinese and Tamil. Most of them are Malay. But all of them are so friendly and nice. I think all of us are good teachers. I will polish my teaching skill here. I want to become a great teacher one day.

3 weeks in Tanjung Dawai, Kuala Muda Yan, Kedah

Hi every one, I am back again to web diary. 12 Oct is my last day in SJK(C)Ping Ming, Lima Kedai, Johor. 13 Oct I take a night bus with another 7 friends to Penang. Actually we plan to go to Penang for our one week holiday. But because of my offer, so I can’t travel with them in Penang. I just say good bye to them at Butterworth and back to Alor Setar.

On 15 Oct, I went to Jabatan Pelajaran Kedah to register myself as Guru Pemulihan. We have a talk and briefing about the teacher life. Mr Wong(王督学，教育局里的人) 要求我们隔天，既是16 Oct 去各自的小学报道。 我被派到SJK(C) Choong Cheng, Tanjung Dawai. Tanjung Dawai 是一个靠近Merbok 及靠海的小乡村，是个小乡村。我很喜欢乡村，虽然我希望可以拿到高龄中华小学，因为它离我家最近，但Tanjung Dawai 也不错。

当天，我就去Alor Setar Mahkamah Sumpah, 后再去日得拉政府医院做Medical Check Up，再打电话给我的未来校长，要求他帮我找房子住。先告诉你，我完全不知tanjung dawai 是在那里，是督学告诉我说，它是在吉中区。 我虽然是吉打人，但我只熟悉玻璃市的地方！

16 OCT 我驾我妈妈的摩多去，用日得拉高速公路去到Gurun, Bedong, Semeling, Merbok, Tanjung Dawai. 5.30am depart from my house and arrive the school at 8.20am. Later start working.

The headmaster told me that I will only start my teaching life next year because the school just passes their final exam. All pupils have no mood to study. Besides, they are busy for the presentation on “毕业典礼”, they need to practice for their dance, recorder, drama and so on. Thus, I only need to 代课for this moment. I will go for the 假期师训，现在的我完全不知如何教书，因为没有专人指教过，也没上过课！只有期待这次的假期可以让我认识如何教书！我只专教学习比较弱的学生，或学习能力差的学生，所以我叫做Guru Pemulihan, 微型小学辅导老师是我的全名！我的教学需要很多样化，要很有耐心，不能用藤鞭，因材施教是我未来的的座右铭！

In Tanjung Dawai, there has no shopping complex. Over there only has a beach and some shops. Most of the shops are Malay shop. So every day, I will go to the beach to have a walk in the evening. I like the feeling so much. 很喜欢吹吹风的感觉！　:) Besides, I will play recorder and read books and call to my friends. Recently I change prepaid to postpaid, my phone bill become so terrible. RM1++ for one month.... ^_^!!! I will go back to Kodiang every week on thursday. And come back to Tanjung Dawai on saturday.

This week, I come to Penang. Today is 2nd Nov, I stay at Penang L-12-4, my old house and online to write out this blog. Last night Jie Xin, Maro and me had a very nice dinner together. Later, Maro went to Melaka by bus. She is going to an interview. I wish her good luck and get the job. I will go back to Kedah tomorrow because Kedah school day is from Sunday to Thursday. I rode motor to Penang. It took me 1:45 minutes to arrive BJ complex. I took 1:30 or 2 hours to arrive my Kodiang house. For those who want to contact me, please sms to me or call my phone. Because in Tanjung Dawai is imposible to online. The primary school has online system but goverment does not allow us to use the school internet for personal use except for teaching material. So I can't check my email or even write my blog.

last day in JOhor

Today is my last day in Johor. In the early morning, my body wakes me up automatically at 5.30am. I wake up and start marking my class’s test paper. Last time, Ming Wei teacher marked all books before she leaved. She ask Ze Li teacher to bring the all marked book to me. Thus, I can start my work easier. I like her style so I learned it and do the same thing for the new teacher. 3C class will have 5th class teacher in this year. I am so regret to them, but I must go because this is my future.
I finished marking the papers at 11am. I felt so happy because I did my job well. Next, I start to clean up and pack my bag. Wa, I am so tired. However, today is better than last night. After teaching for 7 classes in the morning, then continue 2 hour tuitions in the evening. I almost want to sleep directly in the school. Tonight, I will take 10pm bus to Butterworth. Please let me have a good sleep in the bus. 让我一觉到天亮！
In my head, I still can remember my student asked me, 老师，您不能不走吗？我们已经换了很多的继任老师了！我只能很愧疚的对他们说不能啊！ 心中真得很不舍。希望当你们听到相思　这首诗时，会想起我！我希望你们看到红豆时，会想起我这个老师。随人只是短短的不到一个月的相处，你们真的深深地打动了我的心！：)

10月7日至10月13日(last week in johor)

星期四下午，我一直忙在图书馆里key in the new book information. I succeed to key in a box of new books within one hour. Luckily, my typing skill still is quite fast. Thanks for my 4 years typing programming and one year in Intel. When I back to the office, I checked my phone. There has 5 miss calls. All from Jabatan Pelajaran….. Without waste any seconds, I called back to them and get good new. I passed my guru pemulihan interview and I need to register on next Monday in Jabatan Pelajaran Kedah. So good.. So good. Besides, I pass Perlis interview too, but they kicked me out because they know I get the offer from Kedah and my address is belongs to Kedah. They prefer Perlis local people.

However, I feel sad to because I need to leave Ping Ming and my first badge of students, 3C class. Here, I met a lot of good teachers and pupils. 沈老师、秋婷老师、燕娥老师、芸芸老师、惠嫔老师、玉花老师、泽利老师、凯顺老师、铭蔚老师，还有一位我不知她的名字（很像玉花老师）。他们对我真得很好，很关照我！我不会，他们会教我。

　　　Thus, I went to UTM to get some红豆及红豆的杆，作为3C班的礼物，再教他们一首诗，《相思》！红豆生南国，春来发几枝，愿君多采撷，此物最相思！

星期五当天，有两位同学出来表演，我我超级喜欢健峰的笑话！ 非常好笑！再接再厉！我本要与全班费四次来合照，可惜我的相机只能派到三张就档机了！Sony ericson....... you are o gui..... I hate you.. You are malfunction when I badly need you...

For my own memory:
1) doraemon, power dvd, media classic player.
2) 4B asks me to become their class teacher next year cos I am not strict. I ask them to open their mouth when they speak too much. They just think that is game and really open their mouth. 4b tuition is full of laugh and fun because of the students.
4) I take photos around the school and take video before I leave

10月1日至10月7日(3rd week in Johor)

这个星期我之教了两天的书，星期二晚上乘搭巴士回吉打，7点的巴士，到达吉打是5.45早上，很早！我在巴士站带到7点，于是便换上baju kurung, 租辆德士去吉打教育局，因为八点有面试！guru pemulihan interview.

There has 40 interviewee in Kedah.　There has 20 interviewees in the morning and there has other 20 in the evening. I have my interview in the morning session. I am 16^th of 20 people. Some of them come from Sungai Petani, Kulim, Bukit Mertajam, Lunas and others. All of us come from different places. Every one has the same direction is interview. In my turn, only as for 10 minutes and they did not ask me any educational question. The interviewer are consist of 3 Chinese guy, one is headmaster of Kek Wa… Firstly, when I go inside the room, I bow and say good morning to them in Malaysia language. Later I sit down and start the interview. They asked questions in 3 languages and request me to answer according to their question’s language. The first question is why you bring such a big bag to here. So I told them that I just back from Johor for this interview. Along the interview, they did not ask me current issue or the reason why I want to become guru pemulihan. The most chanllenging question are what is ICT and how can it helps in your teaching. Another one is what is the function of self-access learning? He asked me to answer in English because I graduated from Computer science. Others questions are answer in Chinese.

After interview, I follow my new friend’s car to go out from jabatan pelajaran Kedah. I asked her drop me around Tamil temple and then I walk to the nearest bus stop and wait for the bus to back to Shahab Bus Terminal. She come from Kulim and she did not know Alor Setar road. So she unable to send me to Shahab.

I rested at my house for 1 and half day. Friday I went to Perlis to interview. There had 9 interviewees. 5 chinese and 4 Indian. All of the interviewers are Malay. 2 are malay guy and 1 is Malay girl. They asked more technical question like PIPP and Remote or more about current issue. I am very weak in current issue. However, thanks to Kedah interview and I know what is 5 teras inside PIPP(Pelan Induk Pembangunan Pendidikan). I told them I don’t know and they explain some to me. Besides, they told me the pupils I will teach in future are they who don’t know 3M(membaca, menulis and mengira). I just know this. Before that, I though my pupils are those weaker in study. I answered all in Malaysia language. I used some Bahasa Kampung but they did not say anything. However, I did not use English in my Malaysia language.

Both interviews did not criticize me. They did not say that I have poor Malaysia or English language… They did not give me any compliment or praise. Thus I don’t know I have chance to pass my interview or not. But I really wish that my dream will come true.

In the night on Friday, I rushed back to Johor again from Perlis. I found that I started to rush from one place to other place after I back from New Zealand. It is very hard for me. I hate to sleep on bus for 12 hours.. It is very bad experience. I am not dare to drink water and sleep not very well. It is different compare to my University life last time. Last time, I can sleep for 16 hours on bus. I enjoy long bus journey. But after I grow up, I found that my body is weaker.

9月２４日至９月３０日

上个星期五，我感到非常的内疚，我很对不起４Ｄ班的学生。我教他们补习BM,但我不会教，首先我摆在我本身就害怕学生及马来文这一科！我很怕语文课，华文例外！
　　　这般有大约６位超皮的学生，都是男的，他们的精力比ｅｎｅｒｇｉｓｅｒ电池还强！我真得很佩服他们！不知是因为我不够凶，　还是我没拿藤条去，罚他们出去站，他们竟然还可以向全班比笑脸，而弄得全班笑场！我为了应付他们，就教得超慢！但那一班有三位超极爱学习的同学，他们的好学及不明白眼神很令我内疚，我竟然为了６位皮学生而放弃了全班！　所以这个星期我做了超级准备，成绩是还好！但我忘了带我的藤鞭，有一点失策！只好向隔壁老师借藤鞭，那老师的忠言是：“要打就要痛，不然就不打！”　
　　　还有有一位老师很好心的问我，他的班有欺负我吗？我说还好，没有！
我问他：＂为何你会这么问？＂　
他说：“因为有一位老师向我投诉你上课的时候，你的班很吵！“　
我问：“班吵，就是学生欺负老师吗？“
他说：“当然，因为你control控制不了那一班的学生!"
顿时，我才更恍然大悟，之前有很多人告诉我，fail to control class, Ｉ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｓａｙ　ｙｅｓ，　ｉ　ｋｎｏｗ．．　Ｉ　ｎｅｖｅｒ　think or admit i fail to control class. I always think : i afraid I cannot control the class.
After few days, i know that i fail to control the class and admit to it. I will improve myself in this..
It is hard to do so.. but i will try.. No pain no gain... :)

On Mooncake Festival, I send a sms to my teacher in Perlis to greet him Happy Mooncake Festival and inform him that i change my handphone number from 017-5110873 to 016-7110873. I sub my brother's line. My teacher told me that there has Guru Pemulihan. Perlis needs 3 teachers and Kedah needs 8-9 teachers. He insists that this is a golden chance if I want to become a teacher. The qualification is have University Certification.
Quickly, I call my cousin in Perlis to help me to take the form from Education Department, Jabatan Pelajaran Perlis. However, she told me that she will only take the form tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I feel worry because 30 September is the last day for Kedah but for Perlis is 8October. I wish to apply for both state to increase my chance. So at 4.10pm I called my friend in Jitra. She is in practical for music teacher in primary school. She told me that she is going to Jabatan Pelajaran Kedah now. Bingo. I am so happy and asked her to help me to take the form and post it to me.
At 4.45pm, she called me and told me that she get the form. She fear post is too slow, so she scan the form and email to me. I am so glad. Thanks alot to her, or i don't think I have chance to apply for Kedah Guru Pemulihan. Quickly, I went to Taman U to online and printed it out. Taman U has a lot of photocopy shops, but they has no online service. I found the cyber cafe for 20 minutes after asking one photocopy shop owner. Thank you every one..I hope that i really can get the post, God bless me.. I hope.. I wish.. I keep my finger cross.. Please...... Hum mali mali hum. I will have my lucky star beside me.. I believe...

Second week in Johor

9月17日至9月23日

这个星期正式，第一次进办教书！第一天，一个小孩哭了！一个短短的星期，有两位小孩受伤!第一位受伤时，我不知所措，幸亏有一位老师帮我，他带那位小孩去厕所洗伤口，后跟我说要涂上Dettol！ 哇，我不曾用dettol,若是我就洗干净伤口后就上黄药水！我不会用dettol. 那小孩说他不能走，但那位男老师叫他走，他却可以！太开心了！茶碗伤口后，那老师与他谈天，后他就跑回来，跟我说，：谢谢老师！我的心真的是开心极了，心花怒放！第二位受伤，我就驾轻就熟了！

他们都很乖，我很喜欢他们！但我无法记得他们的脸！我是３Ｃ班的级任老师！我教华语，科华、科英、音乐、道德、电脑、BM及ＢＩ补习！我的学生是三年级和四年级！级任老师有很多东西要干，天天要拿出席率、跟他们收钱、追什么什么卡、功课，我都傻掉了！天天要准备备忘册，记录我要做的事！在星期五，我打了全班，因为太乱了！我真得很抱歉，我很不喜欢打人！但有时我真的不知该如何教了！而且这里的老师说用藤鞭是很正常的！

　　　还有我也负责图书馆的阅读比赛，还有１０月２６日的儿童节原来没一般要准备表演节目，我都不懂！我的妈呀！真得很要命，我不知应该给他们表演什么！我真得很。。。想到我的脑袋都要破了！唱歌？跳舞？最后我决定问他们有什么才艺，他们竟然很踊跃地说他们要演戏，演小叮当的海事胜楼这一集！原来小叮当还是现在小孩的最爱，真得很开心！我很不喜欢现在的小孩在表演时都不唱儿歌，我总觉得儿歌是属于小孩的！我记得当我去纽西兰时，儿歌是我们三人都会唱的，那种感觉真得很棒！

　　　还有一天，我教了上下午班，从７。１５早上至６。２０下午，因为下午版缺一位老师！真得很累，因为我不会叫国文，虽然是二年级，我也教错! Sunyi, senyap, mengirim… 我不懂如何分开读，我教了sun-yi, sen-yap, men-gi-rim, 大错特错吧！真得很对不起，误人子弟！我真得很累！不是身体累，而是心灵上的累，因为不知要如何教起，也不会观察，一班42人以上，我真的不会叫！小班是有20多人，他们是比较差的学生，差的学生我又不会如何下手！真得很伤心及懊恼及不知所措！有一天下午，真得很累了，很想念槟城的朋友，晖雯打电话给我５次，我却没听到，我真得很想找人来聊聊天，想着想着也哭了，幸亏水水打电话给我，之后就好很多了！

星期六，我们有个in house training about 算盘，今年一年级及二年级都正在学珠算，明年开始三年级也要开始学珠算了！有上珠、下珠、档、拨珠的手法、直加法、直减法、混合加减法、乘法、除法、下珠不够找小朋友、档不够找大朋友、借位减法、进位加法、还有一大堆我都要晕了！之前我从ＣＤ学算盘，容易多了，只需要背口诀！那像现在那么的模糊！要我的命！除此之外，我很喜欢林保如硕士的讲座，也很谢谢校方的准备，他是一位幼稚园的校长！很热衷于教育！他叫我们教学心经，自在我心！令人 省思！要感恩我们的学生，谢谢他们让我们可以教书！他们不会，那我们才能教书！若那学生有问题，你要记得他是一位受害者！我从来没想过，教了一星期，我真得有点累了，因为不知该怎么教，但所有都在慢慢的学习当中！还有很多很多！但不写了！因为有很多是要干！下星期见！

柔佛的第一个礼拜

9月10日至9月16日：

星期一晚上秀娟送我去sungai nibong bus station。我将离开槟城去柔佛当平民华小的临教，也是我人生中第一次的临教，第一次勇敢的不做电脑工，而去做我一直向往的工作！黄雪芳，你要加油！李秀娟，谢谢你一直以来那么的帮我，原谅我一直不会感激你，你不是一位窝心的人，所以我一直都忽略你在我心中的地位！你太强者的姿势，令我一直忽略你！但有你在，我却能走得更稳、好！你的功劳是很大的！加油！我会尝试去爱你！:)

星期二晓薇带我去平民华小认路，却误打误撞去面试，我只穿了牛仔裤及t-shirt,秋婷老师说ok! 问我要教下午班还是早上班，我选择早上班。早上半是三、四、五、六年级，下午班是一、二年级。我知道早上班比较忙，但我也很怕一二年级因为我叫了两天的幼儿园，小小孩实在有点难教！我也自己选择星期五才上班，因为星期三太仓促了，星期四柔佛假期，星期五刚刚好，也方便算工钱！

星期三，下午去晓薇妈妈那儿吃晚餐，我天天去八星广场报道，很远！但一定要去！很伤心我不能自己煮晚餐！但水水叫我要惜福、习惯、喜欢，我会的！

星期四看看taman u. 变了一些！There will be a new U mall which is beside Jusco and in progress. It will be bigger than Jusco. It is at left hand side after passing Pulai Utama Pintu Gerbang.I just wonder will it bankrap? ^_^!!! Besides, Taman U's Project petrol station is changed to Shell petrol station. It is very funny when i saw 2 shell petrol station is side by side. Let me refresh your memory, there has 2 shell petrol station beside Tong Ya baking house. A small Taman U has Petronas(beside Ong Lai), Caltex(beside Da Zhong), 2 Shell( beside Tong Ya), 1 petronas at Pulai Utama. What I can say is terrible.

星期五我上班，穿运动鞋及Slack裤，到学校换装，我将接手翁铭蔚的班，是3C班的级任！中午去开会才知道级任老师是如此的多工，但也安慰自己那才好学习！ 她是最后一天，我真后悔为什么不要星期三上班！他带我上课，让我见识他的工作，他很严，压得了班，可爱教法，时软时硬，我很喜欢，视他为目标！他特别加班至５点多交待所有事及改完他的书，我真得更加欣赏他，他绝对是一位很称职的临教，优秀的老师！
