To Teacher Heather's letter--Teacher training [II]

Dear Heather

Thank you for your teach. Nice to meet you in the UK. It is my pleasure to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Li-Wen(Nina) Wang, who was born in Taiwan. My family consists of four members, my husband, one son, one daugther, and me. My husband is a manager at the high school. My job is a counselling teacher in Taiwan. Our two children are pupils. My husband and I are both high school teachers. So we spend more time with our children and have a better work-life balance. If we have a long holiday, we usually plan some trips. And we teached my children to know these places before we deparded. We took many photos and shoot many films for our memory. I used computer skills to link our film editing our traveling film after our trip. I really enjoy my family life, and with my two children. I love to teach them in our life. I am enjoy my work and life.I have a harmonious and lovely family.

I had finished master degree, Diploma in Graduate School of Child Welfare, Chinese Culture University ten years ago. So I became a counselling teacher for ten years. I have pursued further education at Institute of Teacher Education from National University each summer vacation. I have finished Instructional Guidance Credit Courses, Guidance Credit Program Courses, Teaching Chinese as a Second Language Teachers’ Program, Education Credit Courses, Specail Education Credit Courses. Last year, my husband had a chance to study master of Nottingham University. So I had a chance to take one year holiday with my husband. Moreover, I have studied English language with my family for one year in the UK. This year I have improved my English and broaden my horizons. I met new people and known different culture in the world. I took many photos and wrote many essaies about my English life. I felt more important of family life education in the UK, beacause my two children have studyed here. I have enjoyed to join my children activities at primary school in the UK. Next month, we will go back to Taiwan and carry on our job.

There are many wonderful and unforgetful experiences in my English life.

Yours sincerely,

Li-wen(Nina), Wang

Teacher Heather's letter--Teacher training

Dear Nina

How are you? I am very tired at the moment, as I have just finished my university degree and started to train as a teacher staight after. I got my exam results today and I am very happy, sitting in my back garden with a glass of wine, as my results were good!
I am originally from the noth west of England, and have been living in Coventry in the west Midlands, as this is where I did my degree. I will be moving to South Korea in August to teach English in a boy's Middle school for 3-4 years, which I am very excited about!
I look forward to reading your responding letter.
Yours Sincerely

Heather

HW- What's your impression of ILS

ILS language school is my first English school in the UK. When I arrived the first day. I saw many different students from different countries. It was incredible. I couldn't say any long stentences. I was also nervous and worrid about speaking. I think speaking is very important for me.
In my opinion, there are many good teachers here. However I don't like changing too many teaches during a class. My first leve pre-intermediate, but I met five teachers in three months. That's not good for students. I needed to know different teachers have different teaching skills and teachers sometimes didn't know the student's situation.
I have been studying in ILS for eight months. I saw there are many changes in ILS. Now the school has touch screen computers, and teachers use computer to teach us. I got a new English blogger, which records my all homework, and photos of my English study. That's great.

Thanks for Teacher Petra

Dear Petra:
Thank you for your teach. I really like you. When I heared about you had another plan, I was upset. But I still bless you have good fortune. I'm so lucky because I meet you, you are a very good teacher. I learned a lot teach skills from you. You are ambitious, cautious, creative, organised, hard-working, paient for students, great teach skills, push students improving, and use new computer skills. I love it, and I enjoy your teach. Now I'm improving my English, I'm so happy. This term I focused to improve my speaking, beacause I always worried about my speaking. When I prepared my presentation, I praticed to speak many times. I found I can do it, and my kids always told me " mom, well done." That's lovely.

English was my worst subject, when I was young. But now I can speak some English, and I can use English language to present my presentation. That's amazing. After 5 weeks, I'll finish my English class at ILS school. I think when I will go back to Taiwan, I'll still watching English TV show, listening English radio, and speaking English with my kids. And I'll change many my teach skills in my class. If I have a long vacation, I'll go travlling another country with my family. That's my dream.

Finally I want to talk you, you are my best English teacher. And I also can't belive I own a English blogger, I'll still writing English in the future. That way can record my some ideas. I'm going to go back to Taiwan on Auguset. If you have long vacation, welcome to Taiwan. You can live my house in Taipei. I almost check my E-mail every day. So if you come to Taiwan, you can give me some messages. I'll take back some messages for you.

Homework- Rock Stars' strange reguests

Today, my teacher told about Rock Stars' strange requests. She introduced the band of the Beatles. Acturally, I never had Rock star's friends, and I didn't like heavy songs. The band of the Beatles, they had different requests. Van Halen, he didn't like a certain colour of food. Jane's Addiction, he wanted to play their music in a special room, where was rehearsal room. Whitney Houston, he was worried about their safety, so he perfered an armour-plated Merceds. Jennifer Lopez, he wanted white flower, white candles, a CD player, and a TV. He wanted to listed to music. Coldplay, he used to write to somebody. He wanted eight local postcards with stamps, and he also liked eight pairs of socks. Elton John, he needed to clean some clothes. He perfered Dry-cleaning services and two limousines, and Diet Coke. But Diet Coke must be in cans, not bottles. Red Hot Cilli Peppers, hewanted to spend some time thinking in silence, so he wanted a meditation room. That were many strange requests of Rock stars. Maybe many strange requests of each person, they can get more relaxed of their Rock star life.

Homework--My dream house

If I retired, I would move to counrtyside. I would buy a large wood terraced house. I would like forest and garden space. My dream house, I perfer five bedrooms in my house. I hope my family can live with me together. If they were busy, maybe they would come my house during the weekend.
When I go back, I want to earn more money and save more money. I wish if I retired, my husband and I perfer move to Japan. There have many natural forests and beautiful terraced house in Japan. And Japan is near to Taiwan, it just take 1 hour can go to Japan.

Homework- My weekend

There had three shunshire days last weekend. My family and I enjoyed the weather. We went out to the forest on Friday, and play all afternoon. I really enjoyed to lie down on the pitch, and listen the music. That was relaxed.

We had a meeting lunch party on Sunday. My children were really excited, they decorated the house and tidied the livingrooms. I felt they was so nice. I thought if my children can do all the housework, I would relaxed all the time.

We have a party with my friends from China in Sunday. We ate lunch and talked about when they went to England. They how to enjoy and study the English. There was many interesting stories about they have lived in the UK.

Homework- Write a letter to your friend

Dear Anna
Sorry for not writing earlier but I've been incredibly busy. I'm writing the letter after my family and had been to Cardiff and Bath. I'm writing to thank you for your photos, there are lovely. I'm going to go back to Taiwan in August. I really enjoy English life everything. I have been to Scotland, Wales, and England. I'll have taken 10 thousand photos when I go back to Taiwan.

For the last two month, I've been busy organising everything for me. I'll clean my ret house, and send something to Taiwan, then I'll leave. Anyway, I have good memories of the UK. Thanks again for our meeting. Don't forget my invition to come to Taiwan, my family would love to meet you.
