Those who can't do, teach ;)

On the fourth day of class for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, we were brought to a local school in Ban Phe to practise teaching one-on-one with a student. I was paired with a sweet 15 year old girl named Prapaporn.


We sat together for 50 minutes as we talked about prepared topics on the mindmap paper shown above. Her family consists of her father Pechdom, her mom Regana, and her younger sister Pronnipa. She likes to play volleyball everyday and football twice a week at school. She wants to be a nurse when she grows up and her best friend is named Boo Ben Tong. She also has a white cat named Boo. For food, she likes sukee, oranges, chicken and ice cream. Her birthday is on the 4th of July and her favourite hobby is singing.

The next day, she greeted me by first taking a quick little peek at something written on the palm of her hand and then saying "It is nice to see you again". That produced a nice feeling.
We talked together for another 50 minutes about her interests and then went through some reading exercises which were recorded on tape.
