Teaching experience

Just few days ago, I went to one of the elementary schools in Nanjing, China with my classmates and teachers. At first, I was little nervous because I had have not any experiences of teaching. But after I arrived at school, I did not feel nervous anymore. We taught students from grade 5 which is the class of Mr. Ma’s son (my Mandarin teacher). After Ms. Bartell (Planning teacher) chose a boy from children, I began to teach something which I have studied in planning class. I forgot to ask his name at first but after few minutes, I found questions in paper and asked him in English. His name was Jim. And then, Jim and I started to play a card game called Uno. I taught him how to play and what the different cards represent. He was a very good card player and I lost many times. Then, Jim and I started to play with Shirley’s group and Bill’s group. It was very interesting and I found that card games are very amazing even than computer games. Actually, when I was in middle school, I went to a very poor primary school in countryside with my classmates to teach students as I did few days ago and from these two experiences, I learnt a lot. If I have another chance to teach children, I will go.
