Today, I was disappionted little bit.
I had prepared work sheets and had some plans with Mrunal. But, suddenly, there were factors which made me not to be able to do my work, teaching. I couldn't teach my student, Mrunal. He was sick. So, I gave my work sheets to his brother and got worried cordially. Have you ever felt how teachers feel and take care of their students? As soon as I heard that Mrunal was sick I could feel real worried and hope to him become well(of course, I felt disappointed because I was waiting for that time and prepared course contents). It makes me recall one of my experiences. When I was not well and I had to stay at home, most of teachers asked my safety. They hoped me to be well as soon as possible. As recalling it, I thought 'Ah...teachers felt like this...!'
So, I taught English to another student. He was practicing reading and I let him know correct pronenciation when he read wrong. In fact, he is a student of Trisha, one of my friends. As she reaching, I and she taught science together along English. She let me know how to teach science. I could get another skill in teaching. When I teach the science, there must be some steps.
1. Before starting the main concept, pulling him(the student) to think about the concept in real life.
2. Ask him, ask him, ask him
-Could you tell me some example of it?
-Which are there(give me some examples..)?
-How this reaction could be occured? and Why?
3. Let's practice and apply it! (together and let him do himself)
I was really happy to get another feeling and skills though I couldn't teach my student. But, I think all children are my students. They are not different. Good learner as well as good teachers! So I say, ALWAYS THANK YOU:)

Dear Dasom,
To recall and appreciate such an old work seems a bit difficult, still the hard effort or your struggle for teaching this student is an example of fulfillment of a task which more seemed to me as a challenge.
Great work! Keep it up………………..
Thank you, Dhananjay sir!
Yes, my effort will never be exhausted though it would be tough...
