self-introduction

Hello,I'm Amanda. It's not the first time I use a web log but it's the first time I use the English blog. It's kind of interesting and convenient to hand in homework by my own blog. It will be also a way to improve my English ability and force me to keep writing in English. I hope I can form a habit to keep writing in English from now on. Oh, I seem to stray from the main topic about self-introduction. Then let's come back to it. As I said in the first class, why I want to take this course is because I would like to be a teacher; what's more, from my tutor experiences, I found out it's not as easy as I thought to teach student English. Sometimes I felt frustrated about that. I tutor junior high students in English and as a tutor in a cram school so far. The most difficult task for me is to teach those 8 to 12 years old children in the cram school. I have even thought they are devils sometimes when some of them are out of control. It is really annoying to manage those kids who are running and clamouring in class. It's a tough task to teach chidren who are not obedient to your orders. It made me feel maybe I am not a competent teacher in teaching English. I think it can be a good experience to be a tutor; however, it can also ruin one's confidence in teaching. I really want to be a teacher if I can in the future so I try to discover and learn the more suitable way in teaching from my experiences. I also want to become the competent teacher who has good influence on my students. That's why I take this course.
In my English learning experience, I had never thought I would major in English someday; however, I have always wanted to be a good teacher. Before I came back from America this summer, I thought English is just a kind communicate tool for me, but now I have developed interest in English since I went to America for traveling. It is not just an tool for me anymore. I have more powerful motive and interest to teach English. I am glad to find the exect goal to achieve, even though I have been still confused and struggled in preparing a graduate school or not.
what I would like to get from this course at first are skills and the correct way for teaching. On the other hand, I want to know whether I am fit to be a teacher or not from this course. Nevertheless, after the teacher's explanation, I understand there's no correct way for teaching but many kinds of way. From other classmates' experiences, it seems not my own difficulty to be frustrated for teaching little children. I hope to learn more about how to teach and develope more confidence from this course.
