Weather: Sunny day.
Amy is a poor girl in my class. She has a dysfunctional family. Her father is always drunk and sexual abused her. This morning, Amy didn’t bring her homework because her father was drunk again last night. She said that she was afraid of this and was concerned that her father would hurt her, and that’s why she didn’t do the homework. What a poor girl! The social workers knew about this situation and planned to take her away from her father. She told me she doesn’t want to leave her father but she felt afraid of him especially when he is drunk. I don’t know how to help her. Personally, I wish she could leave her father, but I know every child needs their parents even if their parents are not good. I just told her that she should be brave to face this problem and choose the right way to protect herself. I’m not sure whether she can understand what I’m talking about. What I can do now is wish God could help her to overcome this most difficult problem in her life.

Weather: Just Hot! Hot! Hot!
I got the result of IELTS. The scores of four sections are as follows: Listening 6, Reading 6.5, Writing 5, and Speaking 6. The overall score is 6. I’m a little bit surprised because to be honest, I didn’t study hard before the test. I wondered why my listening and Reading scores made such a big progress. I might had have a little bit of good luck at that time. Nevertheless, I just got a 5 in writing because of the lack of practice. I regreted that I didn’t spend much time to practice writing before the test. Otherwise I might have gotten a ‘full 6’, and my presessional course could be shortened. But I know it’s too late.
A lot of Taiwanese fell in love with Aska’s voice. Actually, I should say, everyone gets crazy now (Including me). There are more then 30,000 people who visited his blog everyday and more than 1000 messages were left by his fans in one day. Every News channel reported his news yesterday. And the most famous spoof (gag) show in Taiwan made Aska as a main topic yesterday. Three days ago, few of my co-workers knew him, but three days later, everyone knows him. Like everybody else, I fall in love with his voice, too. Or should I say, I’ve become Aska’s fan.
Aska wrote a short article called ‘Before’ this morning. The main meaning of the article was saying that he used to swim under the sunshine, enjoy the sun light beside the swimming pool, sing songs and enjoy his own voice alone. Now, the new superstar needs to overcome a totally different life. He can’t swim in the pool as free as before because there are always crazy fans waiting for him. He also has to deal with negative feedbacks such as the criticisms about his appearance But I think as a superstar, this is the first difficult task he should overcome, isn’t it?

Today is the hottest day in Taiwan this year. The temperature reached to 37 Celsius degree in Taipei. It’s really summer time. That also means that it’s approaching to the time I start my student life in UK. To be honest, I’m a little bit anxious about this because of my poor English. What’s more, IoE hasn’t given me any reply of the result of my essays yet. Almost everybody knows that I am going to study abroad this June and I’m arranging to hand over my administrative job to the other teacher. What if IoE doesn’t give me the permission? Oh~ God bless me!

There is a Chinese singing competition called one million star broadcasting on TV recently and it has become more and more popular in Taiwan. People are discussing who will win the championship and 1 million NTD in the end of the competition. A singer called Aska Yaing is thought to be the most possible one to win the first place. He is a really special guy. He doesn’t have a good looking face but has an outstanding voice. In Taiwan, it is important to have a good appearance if you want to become a super star. I believe that Aska Yaing would become an exception in the future. Almost everyone will appreciate his voice when hearing his performance. Actually, he has become more and more famous nowadays because of this programme. One Chinese fans said (see, he has had a Chinese fans already): ‘If he can’t not become a super star in the future, God will become angry.” People said that he is a genius singer and he was born to sing songs for everybody. I also fall in love with his voice and hope that he can become a real super star some day in the future. Good Luck, Aska!

Weather: Rainy Day
Last weekend, one of my students had a finger broken by three girls in my class. The reason of this was that those three girls were playing game and pushed each others in the back of my classroom. Unfortunately, one girl fell and landed on the poor boy’s finger with her knees. Once I noticed that something had happened, it was too late. He cried on his seat and those three girls were saying sorry to him. I knew that those girls didn’t do it on purpose, but I couldn’t stand not to reprimand (scold) them. I told my students that it is vital to keep them selves away from danger at any time because no one could pay back if they become disabled.
Nevertheless, what made me much angrier was that, in this morning, one of those girls was playing and running around the classroom again. Fortunately, nothing bad happened this time. But I still felt very angry and spent almost 30 minutes to discipline them how dangerous it was and what would happened if I hadn’t stopped them from running around the classroom.
It is really a serious problem for elementary teachers because we have responsibilities to keep all students safe. If students were injured at school, their parents would always blame that teachers didn’t take care of their children well. I will try my best to teach and guide my students in the school. But everybody knows, some students never follow rules and it is difficult to control students’ activities during their free time. I think that keeping students safe is the biggest work pressure in my job.
