Breakfast at the top of the hotel - 8th floor. Crazy dash drive to school. It took 45
minutes. Once at school we got started in the classroom. Students are active, sweet, eager to learn,
cute and peppy. We all did various parts
of the lesson - some oral, some drill, some modeling. Students did worksheets on body parts and
matching. We did some correcting. 10 is the perfect score. Good use of education is the TV YouTube
concepts via song and pictures and diagrams. ..."under, about, next to...
colors, hair, lips, ears...etc"
English teachers rotate into classes to teach English. Classrooms are small and tight. No rugs for students to sit on. About 11:15, we had lunch across the
courtyard in the first-floor eating area.
It was cooler today.
Lunch was typical - rice, veggies, etc. We had free time. Several went across the
street to walk and have coffee - Vietnamese coffee - small cup, drip. Several checked emails upstairs next to the
teacher room.
About 3:15 we all went to the large, noisy, basic assembly
hall for the English-speaking contest and assembly. Small plastic chairs were set up. After some
fixing and fussing and logistics, the program started. Had a very loud PA system. The H.S. principal talked and several others. Two students did the emceeing. Then the contest started. Ten students, grades 7- 12, spoke. Topic was England
or the United Kingdom
About 7 p.m. we walked several blocks to Tamarind Cafe. Excellent place. Veggie international food. Real international group of college students
and Hong Kong high-school international
students nearby. After dinner, all GVs
went back to the hotel to rest, prepare, ponder, relax and sleep. Amen!
