Teachers should be more diligent than students

Students nowadays are too hardworking!!

Although it is still in the school holidays, some students from primary school have already started their tuition in order to prepare for the coming year's course. So scary!!

When I was still a primary student, I enjoyed my school holidays by going out with my brother and his friends. Although I am a girl, I always followed their game. We played with the wooden sticks, guli, toy guns and so on. Most of the time, we played boys' game because I was the only girl in the team. =P Don't worry, I still maintain the normal life of being a girl. XD

Children in this new era are more hardworking than us, but not all of them..

They have no time to play guli..
They have no time to play "dak gue tao"..
They have no time to play hide and seek..
They have no time to catch the fish in the river..
They have no time to watch pokemon and digimon..
They have no time to cycle around their house area..
They have no time to pluck the fruit secretly in other's orchard..

What they have are:
Non-stop tuitions
Non-stop exercises
Non-stop examinations

However, they have gained a lot of knowledges from the non-stops too..^^

So, as a teacher trainee, I should train myself to become more hardworking than them so that I could have more knowledge to share with them..
In other words, teachers should be more diligent than students so that they could have something to share with their students. =)

To mama...

To dear mama:

Mama, what are you trying to tell me??

It has almost been two years since you left me and the family... No matter how many days you have left, you are still always in our heart. =')

I keep dreaming on you recently..

I miss the days we had before..
I miss the dishes you made before..
I miss the things we had done before..
I miss the time you praised me before..
I miss the words you said to me before..
I miss the way how you treated me before..
I miss the time we shared food and drinks before..
I miss the time that you were satisfied with my achievement before..
Most of all, I miss everything about you...

I really hope that I can see you again..
I really hope that I can hug you again..
I really hope that I can kiss you again..
I really hope that I can hear you again..
I really hope that I can hold you again..
I really hope that I can talk to you again..
Most of all, I hope you can live again...

Time doesn't make me forget you, but it makes me miss you more...

Life without you is less meaningful...
Life without you is a lack of mother's love which is hard to be replaced...

No matter how much I miss you, you have left is an undeniable truth...
No one can change it...

Mama, there are some old customers said:
"Girl, you looked similar as your mama when she was young..."
"Thanks ya, I am happy with my look..."

So, everytime when I look into the mirror, I see your face. =')
Originally, you have given me the best gift in my life which is a look that similar to yours...
I am satisfied with it. For sure, I will appreciate it!
Thank you, mama. =)

From,
your lovely daughter

Being A Teacher Is Not Easy...

Recently, I have come back to my hometown for sem break. It is really good to be at home because I am not need to spend a lot of money on food and transport. Besides, I can wash my clothes by washing machine. No need to spend my time on washing clothes. hehe... Furthermore, I can visit my friends or go to anywhere by car. It is more convenient if compared to life in my campus. =P

Now, I am helping my family to run the coffee shop in my hometown. Actually, I used to help my family before since I was young. Usually, I will help in the shop after school everyday. So, some of the customers know about me. It has been age that they didn't see me because I only went back to hometown once a month. So, whenever they met me, their first reaction is very suprised and then followed by the questions "Are you on vacation now?How long are your holidays?" Next, they will ask me which college am I studying. When I say I study in the institution of teaching (IPG) and have been a teacher trainee, they will say "It's good for you to be a teacher in the future because teachers always have a lot of holidays and they only work for half day. Besides, being a teacher has a lot of benefits."

In my opinion, some people have wrong judgement on the occupation of teacher. They always think that teachers have more holidays and less working hours. However, teachers have their own problems too. To me, being a teacher is never an easy task. Teachers are not only need to teach the students but also have to do some documents. When the children don't listen to the teachers, they cannot scold or beat the children as the way they like because they will be complaint by the parents later if they do so. Yet, they have to treat the children patiently no matter how naughty the children are. As a teacher to be, I will feel guilty when I scold or beat a child who has been very naughty. This is because I think that I shall be patient and kind towards children no matter how naughty they are because my duty is to educate and protect them but not to punch or beat them. I will feel like I have hurted them when I beat them. It is really a matter of conscience..

Furthermore, teachers have to be very clever in handling their relationship with their colleagues. For example, we should not act too high in doing something. Being too smart will be boycotted by others sometimes. This was what I saw it before in real life. I believe that it is not only happening in teaching career but also in other careers too. However, I don't agree with the irresponsible attitude towards our job. In addition, some teachers like to gossip on their colleagues and even bully the new brooms. This is the thing I hate to see in this career. In the past, I have been a teacher temporarily in a primary school before. As the youngest teacher, I have been asked to do something by the senior teachers. They just gave me whatever jobs they like without considering my experience. I was really too new to some of the tasks. Luckily,I have a sister who has been a teacher for a few years there. She helped me in completing those tasks. Well, I just think that those tasks are the chances for me to learn new things. So, I would like to thank them for giving me such a good chance. Yet, teacher is also a human being who has his/her own emotion. Why should teachers have to bear the pressure exerted by the parents, children, colleagues and some other parties? Pity on teachers a lot...

In short, being a teacher has its own advantages and disadvantages. Despite the difficulties that I am going to meet in my teaching's life in the future, I still enjoy myself to be a teacher trainee in IPG. =)

Environmental problem has become a serious issue recently. Here is an essay about environmental pollution. I hope it can raise awareness among us. =)

Environmental pollution is the biggest menace to the human race on this planet today. It means adding impurity to environment. The environment consists of earth, water, air, plants and animals. If we pollute them, then the existence of man and nature will be hampered.

It is true that trees are being cut down rapidly. Our earth is becoming warmer. If pollution continues, the day is not far when our earth will be a boiling pan and become a desert. Or it will be covered with sea water causing destruction of mankind.

Pure air is always needed for inhaling. If we take pure air, our health improves. On the other hand impure air causes diseases and impairs our health and causes our death. Smoke pollutes the air. It is the root of air pollution. The smoke which is discharged from industries, automobiles and kitchens is the mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane etc. These are all poisonous gases. These cause lung-cancer, tuberculosis etc. which take a heavy toll of life. The glaring incident is the Bhopal gas leak in December 1984. Thousands of the residents of Bhopal died due to lungs problem which was caused by methylamine gas from the Union Carbide Plant.

The garbage emitting foul smell, the decaying plants and animals also cause air pollution. Hence the doctors advise the patients having lungs trouble to settle in some rural places because the air of villages is pure and free from population.

Then comes sound pollution. The harsh sounds of buses, its, mopeds etc. affect our power of hearing and causes fart trouble. It has been reported that there are two villages named Biraspalli and Devadas Palli near Dum Dum airport m Calcutta where a large number of people have lost their power of hearing. This is because of the frequent sounds of planes coming in and going out of Dum Dum Airport. The evils of sound pollution can be imagined from this example.

The water of rivers and seas is being constantly polluted all over the world by various dangerous chemical and biological wastes. Mills and factories discharge very harmful waste waters into many rivers and sea. The water of the Ganges flowing by the side of both Varanashi and Calcutta is extremely polluted and contains all sorts of dangerous bacteria. It is really very strange and laughable that large number of the Indians regard this water as holy. They even drink this water for salvation. There is no doubt that the fish that grow in such waters are poisonous too.

Reckless application of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides pollutes the soil. Vegetables and fruits are quite injurious today, because they contain the poison of insecticides and pesticides.

If the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil which produces our crops, vegetables and fruits, all become more and more impure, then our chances of good health and longevity will be very less and less. Environment pollution is a serious menace to our existence. Realising the danger, we must plant trees in large number to absorb impure air. Impure water from industries can be sent back for purification and then it can be used for irrigation purpose. Our government is well aware of the fact and is taking steps to save environment from pollution. We have also I minister to look after the environment.
