I'm sorry I've not written here for a while. I have been finishing off my online course in teaching English as a foreign language. I have now passed the 120-online course and received my certificate. What comes next? Well, I am redoubling my efforts to learn Russian. I recently reached a log jam situation where I knew all sorts of thing, but they had all become jumbled like a log jam on a Canadian river when the logs are being floated down the river and get stuck. I now have to tease these bits of knowledge apart and make sense of them again. It is the sort of situation where one could easily give up. Well now of course, I hope to find some people who need to improve their English. All sorts of interesting people could surface here. I like to think that I could help someone in a low paid boring job learn enough English to be able to do something more interesting. It could be a life changer for them and more interesting than retirement for me. How do you keep your brain in working order? Use it or lose it!!
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
