l said that they wanted to learn an English song.I did not prepare for that, but I still remembered the “ABC Song”? that I learned when I was a kid. ? sang the song from memory and the expressions on their faces told mc that they liked it a lot. So ? wrote the 26 English letters on the blackboard and we started learning and singing together. it was fun, indeed.Then, I thought I’d better teach some sentences as I had planned. So I wrote on the blackboard HOW ARE YOU? and HOW OLD ARE YOU? making a point that they got to know the Chinese meaning of each word separately. By reading after me they were learning fast.Suddenly, a little boy rose to his feet and accused me of teaching them the wrong thing. Pointing his finger at the blackboard, he translated the sentences word for word into Chinese:zenme shi ni? zenme lao shi ni??The whole room then broke into a sea of shouting and waves of rejoicing swept over everyone’s face.My first teaching experience was a success and I learned a lesson, too: It is no easy job to teach.
