Um, I am running out of things as well.
Um, I can't bare with myself, if I fail.
Oh, Well, he sorta of taught us sentence structure, but I am still not clear, but I am pretty sure I got it. It's sorta like english's grammar, just the more brittish way.
In stead of say, "What's your name" it's ""How do you address yourself.

The thing I dislike about foreign languages is the different genders of the word. So if you say "a" the word you use is different depending on the gender of the word. I find it really hard to remember bur I'm getting better!

einen Bruder (brother is a masculine word) eine Schwester (sister is a femanine word) ein Kaninchen (rabbit is a neuter word) Brother and sister make sense seeing as a brother HAS to be male but when a table is masculine it gets confusing! Ahh!!! - I'm in a performance of the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk this December. We're auditioning for main speaking parts at the moment.

Yeah, it's so confusing, like...
la cabeza y la boca: head is feminin
and
el brazo y el mano: the arm is masculain
but I get why senor is masculin and sinora is feminin
One I really don't get is why
nota which is notes is feminin and grito who is shout is masculin
There is more masculin then feminin though, so if I had to guess our teacher told us to put masculin

SO confusing. Actually, I've only just began to understand it (after over 3 years!) because my old teacher was rubbish!

She had no control over the class and she lost her temper a lot. Everyone misbehaved because they knew they would get away with it. I used to come out of every lesson with a splitting headache. We learnt nothing! I once had a table rammed into my back repeatedly and she didn't notice. She laso threw a chair at a student once.

OMG! That's the worst class I ever heard of! I'm glad you have a better teacher now.

er... we had a teacher just like that, but slightly better. She was better with other periods, but with mine, I didn't like her at all!
She was Mrs. M or Ms. M our seventh grade science teacher. (remember her Jens?) My class would distract her, and she would yell, bawl, and throw a fit, which was not remotely pleasant. I think the class reduced her to tears once. the two kids name carl or something like that nickname dontae and this other girl alexis made out in class. I think they are still GF and BF. So, they would interrupt class and talk about there experiences at school when they were little. The boy cheated, did stupid things, and the teacher had no control whatsoever. It was like a jungle in there. So, I mean, I really wanted to learn, so I got real mad. Oh, and she tried to sound disappointed and Mrs. m said "this is the worst period I have." Didn't work, kept it up. I tried to give her advice, but when she even took it, it never worked. Nothing worked with that class, she had no controll. They were running playing, screaming, Yelling, making havoc, playing, talking, laughing, and doing anything but learning.
Thank goodness she left after January, and we got a better teacher, Mrs. B.

That's sounds awful.
We weren't even her worse class! That was the other dual languages class. Once they all delibrately got 0 on a test to try and make someone realise how made it was but she made them re-sit it and said that anyone who got 0 would get several detentions.

I remember Ms. M Rach. But our period was much better, but still out of control. She once said "You guys are my best period. It's really pathetic." There was this one kid who gave her a hard time (I don't remember who) and one time he and several other students almost made her cried. I think that's the day when they started being nicer, but they still goofed off.
Anyway, I think the smartest move for that situation would be telling the principal/headmaster instead of flunking a test on purpose. Though I admit, it's pretty cool they all decided to do it together. She must have been horrible if all the students tried to go against her.

My class were never her best class, and never tried to be nicer. Even this aid in the class, who was exsavior's was irritated. I mean, she is really patient already.
I just think if you want to be a teacher, you need to be a little more clever. Like today, I went back to my elementary school for training, and helped in a class afterwards. The kids were just really goofy, and rouddy. So, I try to made learning like a game. They worked then. I had my serious moments in between too, so they actually learned. I just didn't bother yelling.

You went back to elementary school? How's the pioneers?
Next week when my stupid cold goes away, I'm going to our middle school to see some teachers.
Actually, yesterday I went to the middle school after school. My brother gets out later than I do so I went with my mom to pick him up. I also brought my dog Sherlock along. My mom couldn't find a parking spot so she parked a little way. She told me to bring Sean back here. So I was walking Sherlock at the place where we pick up Sean which is where the Special Ed kids load the busses. Guess who I saw? Ms. C, the Special Education P.E. teacher! She loved Sherlock and told me a little bit about her dog.
That was the only teacher I got to see since dogs aren't allowed in the actual buildings. I want to show him to my chorus teacher and my english teacher last year. It will be really funny because last year I had a picture of Sherlock trying to pick up a pirate sword and my english teacher, Mr. T asked "Is that a cat?" LOL. You can see why it would be funny if Mr. T meet Sherlock.
