Today is our first day in school, we have 5 lessons in the morning. It is also my first time conducting a class alone (in my previous team, I always have lesson together with Tamuna, an intern from Georgia). To be honest, I was a bit scared before the class. However, all of them turned out to be amazingly great! The students are attentive and participate actively in the class. They are surprised to see me dressing in sari; they express their envy when I tell them Singapore has summer all the time; they smile when I say I love the snow in Poland; they give me the “grhhh” sound when I show them how Singaporeans eat ice-cream with bread; they have a lot of fun listening to me speaking and seeing me writing in Chinese. And again, we get delicious caked for Women’s Day =) =) =)
In the afternoon, we have an informal meeting session with the students. It’s quite fun, we played the Guest & Host game with them. I like this game, It was really great for cultural tolerance and I think it would be a good idea to introduce it in Prep Sem for all EPs. Haha, I’m really very OGX. =P We also shared with each other the funny things in our countries. For example, in Brazil, if you show the “OK” gesture, it actually means f***; and in Poland, when you hear people saying “no no no’ , it actually means “ok ok ok”. So once when Adi (an intern from India) asked his host’s mother :” Can I have something to eat?” he was so confused when he heard the answer “no, no, no” then saw the mother brought food and tea for him. Hahaha~~
