Monday is a Nice Day !


Monday is a Nice Day !

On Monday, 11 April 2011 my friends and I were in English Language Centre (ELC) of Charles Darwin University, NT, Australia. Actually at the first time, we did not know that place where it was exactly. Fortunately Bu Aam and Pak Kus accompanied me to see Mr. Logan as the manager of ELC. Beside giving explanation about the schedule of the day, he asked his administration officer to process us in order to get free access for all student facilities in ELC.

Ellie (a senior teacher in ELC) guided us to take a placement test. The test result is was that Pak Banu and I are in upper intermediate class.

Mr. Logan handled my conversation class. He devided 12 students into 3 groups and gave us some Darwin’s pictures pictures of Darwin, maps and short information about some nice places in Darwin. Each people person explained a place in Darwin each person turning around. This class is very exiting !

Even though she is a new teacher, Louise has some interesting teaching methods. For example, she gave us a paper which is some sentences were blanks in one word. We had to fill it after looked at watching a TV  interviewing with Muhammad Ali. Another method, she played us a thriller movie of Karate Kid 1 and 2 and beside choosing the correct word based on the movie, she asked me which one is the best version and why (with 3 reasons) ?. Her teaching methods made us could not be sleepy kept us awake.
 
I like this class because I have met some classmates from another country, such as Thatsani Shonprom (Noi) from Vietnam, Yu-Ling lin (Rynn, Korean), Imran Sulehsia (Imran, Pakistani), Loredana Muscas (Lore, Italian) and Yasumi Washino (Yasu, Japanese).

I like Monday, because this day is a nice day !
