Student's Happiness = Teacher's Happiness

Oh Dear! Since last year, these students are with me in my English class. But, althought I had tried many ways and many techniques,there are still no improvement in their English. I mean for the examination.
Maybe it is their teacher who was to be blamed. 
This year, they are in Year 5 and I am still trying hard to motivate myself to get better ways and finding ideas to help them in thier English too!
In their mid exam, I found that their English were still under the expectations, so I got an idea! After the semester break in June, I told them that if they improve their English test compare to the mid exam's marks, I will buy them the fast food- Marry Brown.
I can feel that they were so happy for that. They were struggled to understand every words and sentences from the exercises I gave them. I felt so happy for that too, because I manage to control their laziness, and also I had given them the meaning to work harder. This is the way I manage to push them.
After the test on Monday, six of them who were taking the test, only one of them got the improvement. So, as I had promised them, I went to Pontian to buy him the fast food.
I asked the student, Wen Jie to wait for me if I am late for him. I was really late. He waited for me patiently about half an hour. When he saw my car driving into the school compound, he quickly walked towards me. I could see the happiness in his face. He asked why it is not Marry Brown, but it is KFC? I told him that because he was the only one who improved in English, so I want to buy a more tasty food for him. He smiled until the mouth could not closed. I am feeling so happy for him too!
At the side, There were three students standing and kept looking. I could feel the jealously eyes on them. I really hope that for the coming monthly test, there will be more students improve their English, so that all of us will have the chance to go to the fast food and enjoy ourself there.
But, in the other way round, I found myself very pity!
I bought the delicious and expensive fast food for my students, but for myself, I only buy the rice with some dishes.
I was really very silly! I was lining up to buy the food, but I only buy one for my student and I had forgot about myself that I not yet have my lunch at the time of 3.30pm.
I was so hungry after smelly the good taste of the fast food, so I went to buy myself rice for lunch.

At both our home, one will be eating happily with his fast food; and the other one will be eating happily too with her simple but delicious rice with some dishes.

  1. Hi teacher,
    It's a good idea to reward and motivate your students in this way. Keep it up and keep on writing and sharing.
