Drafts from days before the creation of this Blog.

Hi again, here you are some lines that I wrote long time ago, while I was looking for a suitable blogger. As you'll see later on I am a person who needs to tell everything which is passing though her mind, that's why I needed to have something like this...

A horrible day which got me completely blush

My life has been characterized by the amount of silly mistakes that I have made in the most diverse contexts. Thus, the sentence “Maria lives is her our world”, or “María is absent minded” is quite a normal utterance in my daily life. Since I have a place in the working life, distractions are not so common, but, they haven’t vanished completely.

My first day on correcting exam

It could be funny, or even something for which I might feel embarrassment, but have just marked all the parts of the exam, and now I have some doubts about how to get the final qualification… I have been summing, multiplying, etc…and things seem not so easy…No matter! I have one of my science nice teachers on line to ask whatever I want. After some explanations, examples, and tricks I have the solution to my problem.

A great applause for all those patient online colleges, that, day after day help me to solve any problem, please

My second day on correcting exams
21, March 3002

I have not finished yet, and I am realizing that I don’t really like it. I don’t know If I am being severe or benevolent, I don’t know if I am marking right or it there is something that I haven’t seen. I don’t if there are people who deserve better a better qualification or a person who has got too good marks for the knowledge he or she really has… I don’t know, I think everything could be really discovered after my own years of experience, or… who knows, tomorrow when all the outcomes will be shown.

However, the sensation of doing something completely redundant and worthless of making is exam is still on my head. If I know how much all of my students know about English, since the group is so reduced… why wasting time on examine?

After the long dialogue with one of my students and my own assumptions…

Level 1 is perfectly OK, but the other, which is supossed to be 2 (pre-intermediate), it is actually a mixture of upper elementary, intermediate and higher… is really a very difficult course. I spend lots of hours for preparing material, which at the end I will not use because it will does not convince me enough. This is a huge problem for me. It is time consuming and I don’t know if my students are learning something new…
