Part 1: Live ( 已經整理過一部分，再補充說明一些事)

•  As a youngest among the four siblings and as a first time traveller abroad, it’s the anxiety of doing all things alone and adjusting to the new chapter of my life. 
•  Walking everyday for 20-30mins from my apartment to school. However, it’s a good form of exercise too. 
• Filipinos have close familty ties. Homesickness is hard to battle but my colleagues especially my coordinator makes it bearable since they’ve been checking on me and making sure I am okay.
• 身為四個兄弟姊妹中最小的一個，也是第一次出國旅行，獨自完成所有事情並適應人生新篇章的焦慮。
• 每天步行 20-30 分鐘從我的公寓到學校。然而，這也是一種很好的運動方式。
• 菲律賓人有密切的家庭關係。想家的感覺很難克服，但我的同事，尤其是我的協調員，讓我可以忍受，因為他們一直在檢查我並確保我沒事。

Part 2: Curriculum and instruction.... (3 or 4 difficulties)

•  Differentiated instructions - My learners vary from beginners to highly proficient. As a teacher, I need to anaylze how they learn so I can tailor-fit activities suitable to them
•  Crafting activities engaging to students - English is a fun subject but it might be complicated for ESL learners. The greatest challenge is thinking outside the box of what kind of activity to use in class or how to deliver the lesson to catch student’s interest. 
•  Inculcating English lesson not just on the cognitive aspect but also on the affective aspect - Learning English is not just being able to memorize the grammar patterns or memorizing vocabularies. More than that, it’s about appreciating how useful it is and how wonderful the language is — it serves us our vehicle to go around the world by communicating using the English language. I always want my learners to appreciate and instill that learning English gives them a lot of opportunities. I do not want them to memorize it but I want them to be confident in it. 
• Sometimes, I ran out of ideas especially on the engaging activities but I always try my best to think more and be flexible.

第 2 部分：課程與教學...（3 或 4 個困難）

• 差異化指導 - 我的學習者從初學者到高手都有。作為一名老師，我需要分析他們的學習方式，以便我可以量身定制適合他們的活動
• 精心設計吸引學生的活動 - 英語是一門有趣的學科，但對於 ESL 學習者來說可能很複雜。最大的挑戰是跳出框框思考在課堂上使用什麼樣的活動或如何授課以吸引學生的興趣。
• 英語課不僅要灌輸認知方面，還要灌輸情感方面 - 學習英語不僅僅是能夠記住文法模式或記住詞彙。更重要的是，它是關於欣賞它的有用性和語言的美妙之處——它為我們提供了透過使用英語進行交流來環遊世界的工具。我總是希望我的學習者欣賞並灌輸學習英語為他們帶來很多機會。我不希望他們記住它，但我希望他們對此充滿信心。
• 有時，我沒有想法，尤其是在參與活動方面，但我總是盡力多思考並保持靈活性。

Part 3: Colleague Interaction.... (3 or 4 difficulties)

•  Most of them only speaks basic English 
•  I really want to communicate to them and have a friendly chat but I understand that there’s limited chance
•  I want to learn Chinese so I can communicate to them but I don’t think i’d be able to learn it on my free time since I have other things to do
•  Getting to know all of them not just what their names are but also learning more about them
•  The language itself is the obstacle but I don’t think befriending them requires a language. I certainly know how awesome they are because of their smiles, politeness and how they all offer help if I need it. 

第三部分：同事互動......（3或4個困難）

• 他們大多數只會說基本英語
• 我真的很想與他們交流並進行友好的交談，但我知道機會有限
• 我想學習中文，這樣我就可以和他們交流，但我認為我無法在空閒時間學習中文，因為我還有其他事情要做
• 不僅要了解他們所有人的名字，還要更了解他們。
• 語言本身就是障礙，但我認為與他們交朋友不需要語言。我當然知道他們有多棒，因為他們的微笑、禮貌以及如果我需要的話他們都會提供幫助。

Part 4: Teacher-Student interaction.... (3 or 4 difficulties)

•  I handle three grade levels — Grade 3, 4 and 6. Grade 3 learners are very attentive in class and I can easily get them to be involved in activities. They love games and rewards. Since they are the youngest among the grade levels I handle, I need to double my efforts in getting their attention and checking their outputs so I can guide them even more. 
•  Grade 4 learners are the playful one’s. They love the class and learning English in general but sometimes they get easily distracted with their classmates and it affects their attention span. 
•  Grade 6 learners are a bit difficult when it comes to their behaviour. Among the three grade levels, they’re the oldest. Somehow, not all of them shows great enthusiasm in the class. It’d quite challenging since some of them won’t answer because they are shy or they answer but in a very low voice that I can barely hear it. I think, what they need to have is the confidence and being able to conquer their shyness in speaking English.
•  Among the three grade levels, I must say that the grade 6 learners needs more attention since they’re almost moving to Junior High School. They need to gain more confidence in learning English and appreciate how wonderful it is. 
•  Creating or using differentiated instructions suitable for each learners’ needs.

第4部分：師生互動......（3或4個困難）

• 我負責三個年級－三年級、四年級和六年級。三年級的學生在課堂上非常專心，我可以輕易地讓他們參與活動。他們喜歡遊戲和獎勵。由於他們是我所處理的年級中最年輕的，我需要加倍努力來吸引他們的注意力並檢查他們的產出，以便我可以更多地指導他們。
• 四年級的學生是頑皮的學生。他們通常喜歡課堂和學習英語，但有時他們很容易被同學分散注意力，這會影響他們的注意力。
• 六年級學生的行為有點困難。在三個年級中，他們是年紀最大的。不知何故，並非所有人都在課堂上表現出極大的熱情。這很有挑戰性，因為他們中的一些人不會回答，因為他們很害羞，或者他們回答的聲音很低，我幾乎聽不見。我想，他們需要有的是自信，並且能夠克服說英語的害羞。
• 在三個年級中，我必須說六年級的學生需要更多的關注，因為他們即將進入初中。他們需要對學習英語更有信心並欣賞它的美妙。
• 建立或使用適合每個學習者需求的差異化指令。
