among the problems i encountered during my practicum as a teacher-trainee was time management. i always organize my lesson plans, allot time for each activity but once their on stage, i feel time slips and i realize that the session is over and i have not finished all the things i planned for yet!
according to the readings i did on the issue, they all agree that the teacher should reflect on the things that may waste his time; i.e. the teacher has to see where his time leaks! examples of these, are draw from my own experience:
instead of spending too much time explaining to students why not assigning them tasks where they can work actively and thus, be an essential part of the learning? you can interfere only when you feel that there is no other resort for them to understand the teaching point. this way, you will cover all the things you planned for as long as you proceed in the task.
when planning your lesson, apply the smart procedure: set specific objectives; measurable; achievable; realistic & time bound. that is, have clear objectives about your lesson that you can measure at the end of the session. to reach these objectives, they should be achievable meaning challenging but not defeating tasks; realistic meaning that you can really attain them without being too ambitious & finally time bound: you set a time limit for each stage of your lesson.

my trip
travelling is the most exciting thing in the world. first of all, it lets us discover the world from different sides, visit different countries and experience their cultures and traditions. moreover, we have a chance to enrich our knowledge about life in general and particularly about ourselves. travelling also gives us an opportunity to meet new interesting people, learn new languages, taste different national dishes and develop our skills. that’s why i’m trying to travel as much as possible. last year i visited new-york, usa. i got there by plane. it took me more than 8 hours. the most exciting thig i saw was the empire state building. i had a fantastic time and learnt a lot about this marvelous and famous landmark.the first thing i’ve noticed about this beautiful building is that it looks like a giant pencil, with a tall and pointed top. i caught my breath, when i rose my head to see it at first. the architecture of the empire state building is gorgeous.. there was so much to see and do inside the tower. there were two observations with spectacular views, lovely coffee shops and some souvenir shops. i’ve bought several postcards, so that i will always remember that day.i felt a little sad when it was time to live. i had a good time in new-york and i hope to go there again next winter.
