I think that our lessons are always interesting and lovely. It will be more interesting if we discuss about our job because all of us are teachers. I want to know how teachers teach grammar, do listening and reading at the classes. I have learned at Unit 1D about “Devil’s Dictionary”. It was very interesting for me to know different definitions.

Reflection

From The Unit 2 we have learnt grammar on past simple, past continuous, giving definitions, using conjunctions in the sentences. We were taught by playing roles, working in small groups. It was very interesting to us in and useful in teaching grammar rules. We did a lot of grammar exercises, read texts and worked on it. Especially in Unit 2D I liked describing photos which were given by teacher and discussed it with other students. I think, it was very interesting and I prefer to use it in my teaching. Sometimes we listened CD, watched videos and discussed during the lessons. Then we played role games from these videos, which helped us to remember phrases. I hope the next our lessons will be so interesting as last ones. And I want to use games more during my lessons.

Reflection. Unit 3
Lesson by lesson, Unit by Unit we are learning more explanations on Grammar which will help us in teaching. For example, the teacher made it on PPT and organized some playing roles. We read some texts and found grammar  activities and explained  their rules. There were also grammar tasks where we should understand the differences between "will and won't" and "going to" because they are very similar  and I think that I wll try to teach my students how to differ these tenses. Thanks for our teachers, she always a hard-working person who taught us.

Reflection. Unit 4
During the Unit 4, we learned on grammar present perfect tense, comparative adjectives, like as...as, less than and superlative forms of adjectives.The teacher taught how we could work using grammar activities by playing roles. We used comparative adjectives to compare some cities with different  cities. Also, we saw video-activites and learned some phrases from those video tasks. We had a talking Club with native speaker. He prepared very interesting topic on "travelling". He shows to us very interesting video about Ireland and taught us a poem with pictures. I liked it very much. Everybody was interested in this topic. I will hope that outr talking Club is as interesting as this time.

Reflection. Unit 5
At the Unit 5 we learnt uses of the infinitive (with to), rules of their usings, gerund-ing, with verbs, modal verbs like have to, don’t have to, must, and prepositions of movement. During the lessons we made up sentences with them and filled some tests. The teacher taught us by role playing and sometimes we made up dialogues with pairs which were very useful and interesting to us. I think the whole things which teacher   teaches us I would try to use them in my teaching. That’s why I am here now. I am happy that I have a chance to talk and have practice to use English and share our opinion with other teachers- colleagues.

Reflection. Unit 6

Unit 6 Includes grammar rules, like first conditional, second conditional, modal verbs expressing possibility and advice. Teacher taught us it by cards where there were any kinds of explanations. I think that I will use it during my teaching English. Also at the lessons we described different pictures, given by teacher. It was interesting and useful to improve our speech. We had talking Club on PNG which was very lovely and interesting. We learnt new things about people who live on that island. It was very strange and unusual for us that they kill their enemies and cut them into pieces, and woman covers their body with pig’s fat. Also it was a seminar with Ercilia. She provided very useful and interesting training for us. We leant many games which we can use during classes. This month was very excited and full-filled.

Reflection. Unit 7

In Unit 7 we looked through grammar rules on present perfect, past simple, structure of the used to and passive. Every grammar rule the teacher explained us very clearly. She used cards, handouts, different pictures which were really interesting and remembering. Sometimes teacher showed us PPT which helped us to understand it in easy way. So, I also want to use some lessons in that way. But first of all I liked listening exercises. They were very useful to improve our listening skills because the most difficult part in learning foreign languages is to listen and to understand. The most interesting part during Unit 7 was our presentation on grammar: used to and passive voice. Everyone tries to explain clearly using of different kinds of methodology. I think it was very useful opportunity to have a practice in teaching which give us more experience of teaching.

Reflection. Unit 8

Day by day, we are learning very interesting and more difficult grammar structures from Unit 8, because we are finishing this pre-intermediate book and will change it into another one. During this Unit, we sometimes tried to explain using of phrasal verbs by ourselves. It was so interesting and not so difficult, because the teacher gave us handouts. Also, we worked with vocabulary, listening new phrasal verbs from CD, we filled in missing words in the songs.Students in our class created dialogues. Teacher always tries to teach us in interesting way and she helped us to open our blog and explained how to publish some publications. I think we are getting more knowledge and improving our English.
