We had been asked if we would do
something at the High School as they only get one lesson a week with
a foreigner. We said yes. As they are first year they would be fairly
low in understanding our speech and accent. It was also in their
"down time" so we wanted to have it as interactive as
possible without it being a "lecture"
We did a quick Q & A, some students asked things about us then a word
search followed by sports in a grid. We always turn this into a game using two students at a time to come to the board to find the word that we call out, They were getting quite vocal by
this stage and then we changed the tempo by showing some photos of
our house and surrounds plus some scenic stuff with some Chinese
students who had visited recently. The last pic went up as the bell
for end of class rang out.
There were about seventy students, the
top ten in English from each class. Today the deputy head visited our
flat and brought a gift, a box of bamboo towels. We received two
other gifts from others today, just hope our bags can take it. With some careful packing every thing got home, thank goodness I hadn't bought up big any where.
