HAPPY MOMENTS WITH THEM (I LOVE IT) It really feels fulfilling that when you know that you are somehow imparting knowledge to your students. I am an English teacher in high school where I’m imposing the “NO TAGALOG PURE ENGLISH” policy to my students. It is so surprising that somehow they are getting used to it, that they sometimes tell me that I am speaking tagalog even though we are not in the classroom. As for myself I am really happy for that and it only tells me that my students wants to learn too. YOU’LL LOVE THEM.
Since my students are already using this policy, I have gathered different English terms that my students have used, I actually have one student whom I assigned to write all the things that his/her classmate would tell me. Sometimes it sounds funny when you come to realize that there are some students who are really trying their best to speak in English regardless of what people will think about them. Practically, some students were actually amazed with their English ability and as for me as their mentor I am so happy for that.
I have compiled some English words that I want to share to my readers:
MA’AM wrong sitting place-----the student was pertaining to the seating arrangements.
MA’AM WHERE’S THE JUSTICE, THERE’S NO JUSTICE---the student was actually complaining to the draw lots that his classmate made, where he will be the first one to perform.
NO MA’AM BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOOR----I was telling this student that what if I am from the mountains and I don’t know anything about the new technology, and I will ask him that what is this thing that I can see little people moving inside that box (It is a TV) how come those people were inside that box…is’t possible???
MA’AM IM HOT AND IM WET-----readers don’t think that this student is lusty, but he is actually saying that he feels warm and he is sweating because he is wearing a raincoat while doing his weather report.
THE BEST IS WHEN I GOT ANGRY WITH MY STUDENTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TAKEN HALF TIME OF MY CLASS JUST FIXING THEMSELVES, AND IM REALLY FURIOUS AND I ASKED MY STUDENTS OF WHAT CAN THEY PROMISE ME…I WAS EXPECTING OF THE ANSWER LIKE MA’AM WE WILL NOT BE LATE OR WILL JUST HAVE IT FOR 10 MINUTES, BUT SO STUPID OF ME THAT I ASKED THIS CERTAIN STUDENT WHO REALLY CAN MAKE ME LAUGH….HE ANSWERED ME “MA’AM WE WILL CHANGE OUR LIFESTYLE”, I DON’T WANT TO LAUGH FOR THE FACT THAT I AM MAD, BUT LUCKY OF THEM THEY HAVE THIS STUDENT, I SUDDENLY BURST INTO LAUGHING…..BLAST…THIS STUDENTS CAN REALLY MAKE ME LAUGH…I DON’T KNOW??? BUT ALL I KNOW IS THAT HE DON’T INTEND TO MAKE ME LAUGH…..HEHEHE
FUNNY??????
