Right so I have been back so what have i been upto? Basically getting ready for school and watching all the vcds i got - havent finished all of it. But ok - hai the bad thing abt having long periods of hols is that now I dont feel like going back to school. Have to give a briefing to new teachers on how to teach English and its not easy - have been reading this book "The Practice of English Language Teaching" - kind of puts what i practise in nicer words. But I have left the reading a little late and I still have 5 more chapters to go. And then come up with material for the teachers. I would like to have the meeting on Monday when all the teachers come in but I have to get everything ready before that.
On a lighter note, I finished the Harry Potter book in about 4 days. Most pple I asked finished in a day or something. I did it with the last book and regretted it. So this time I read it real slowly so I could enjoy it more. Still some parts got me more excited and I needed to read it to get to the better parts. Verdict - It was good overall there were a lot of tied up ends and new things that cropped up to keep the interest going. I like that there is a lot of room for discussion. The part I like is about the DA. Really like the students taking things into their own hands. ( As long as it isn't against me). There are those that would scoff at me reading this book but i really dont care as I just love these books - they are some of the few that can really transport me to another world.
