Me The Examiner

I decided to give my Transportation students an assessment today. It’s quite hard to assess Oral English, I reckon, especially since I am only a beginner at this game! The thing with my classes is that they throw people with all different levels into the same class. This makes it more difficult to teach and assess! If you teach to the higher level students, the rest are lost. If you teach to the lower level students, the rest are lost! I guess, you can teach some of the students some of the time, but you can’t teach all the students all of the time! I have nearly 90 Transportation students and nearly 130 Navigation students, so it’s sort of difficult to know them all!

They have turned on the heating in the apartment building at last! It’s getting nippier by the day! The funny thing here is that you can feel the sun’s heat through the windows and it’s quite warm, even though it’s freezing outside! Don’t really get that in Ireland!

For any of you who want to learn to speak proper English (Irish-English obviously), I saw this article in Wikipedia (If you live in China, where Wikipedia is blocked, you may have luck with the Google cached version here. It worked earlier but doesn't seem to work now...) and also this site with loads of slang phrases! I already have my students trained to say “howaya” when they meet my and “ah, I’d grand”, when I ask how they are!
