3. Why I Never Want to Get Married


I ever dream of a successful family but many reasons make me want to live alone. I always believe in true love but I don’t believe in a man who always says “I love you”. I always promise myself, I will be honest in my love but I’m not sure I can find a man who thinks like me and can do that.
There are many people who never marry and live alone all their lives by choice, not because they have to. If I single, I will have more time to devote to my family, my work, my close friendships and myself because I don’t have to spend so much time to take care my husband. In addition, I can do what ever I wanted, I can go where ever I like, I don’t have to cook if I don’t want, I don’t have to talk unless I want to, and the important reason, I don’t have to adapt myself to my husband, his family, and his friends.
In contrasting, for my highest dream, I want to have my own children without husband. What should I do?

2. After reading the text "Adulthood"


Before reading the text “Adulthood”, I never seriously asked myself about my married in the future because I feared to raise a family. I always asked myself about how I can take care my family in the best, how can I make as much money as possible. It can help my family a lot. After I read, I add 2 questions in my mind.
The first question is should I have children. Because I think they can be fill up my life in the future I am sure. The second question is do I need more education. Because after I talked with my friends that make me know about the bachelor’s degree is not enough for me.

1. My experience teaching



I had taught in Mathayomthanbinkamphangsan school for 1 year (2 semesters). In my first semester, I taught 1 class from mattayom 1 and 2 classes from mattayom 2. They are very differences styles that made me tense. I started being friendly with them, told about myself and asked them to tell me about themselves too. I tried to use English in my class but my students didn’t understand. Moreover, I had a lot of problems in my teaching such as technical teaching, grammar, pronunciation, writing lesson plan and controlling classes. One of the biggest problems is most of my students come from very poor English language background like many students of my friends in other schools.
The second semester, I taught 3 classes from mattayom 2. My students in this semester were a lot of talk. They didn’t listen to me when I taught. I solved this problem by warning them for the first time and if they didn’t stop I will asked them about the lesson. Most of my students always late, I warned them in early semester and punished them if they still late in after that. I usually punished them by asked they to do some exercise or make meditation in front of the class. I always discussed about the problems in the classes with my friends, my co-teacher, other English teacher there and my teacher from University. They advised me in verities ways to solve my problems.
In addition, I had a lot of good experiences with students in other classes and teachers in other programs. I worked with them in extra duty except teaching. They helped me to learn about how to use my life in school and society.
Thank you for every one who helps me so much. One year in my training teaching is too much for me trying to be a good teacher in next time.

What about you? Do you have a good experience teaching?

See you next time
