Hi~ I have something to tell you.You don't have to be so depressed. And first,I'm not an English teacher,either,but this is not the point. What I want to say is they are not so bad about "the past tense" cause at least they can distinguish "the past tense" from "the simple tense". They can speak out "was watched" instead of the correct one,"was watching" means what confuse them is when to use "watched" or "watching". Maybe you can explain the differences between them next time. That's why I think you don't have to be so depressed. As for "the passive mood",you can take some examples to let them know. You can tell them "when you don't want to do anything and nothing can interest you"--That's passive mood. Then you can take some persons,who they know,for examples and describe their characteristics. Dont' worry too much. I think you'll do it well. ~~~^_____________^~~~ ※ 引述《searose (sea rose)》之銘言： : Many thanks for your suggestions: : I told the boss my difficulties today. : Iam the only one who teach first grade (GEPT) in that school. : I explained everything to her, and she is really nice. : Today, I encountered a tough problem, that is, how to explain "passive mood" : Some students performed badly in the tests. : Ex: He is thinks.....(one wrote this) : They are not attentive and keep asking for "games" : They think grammar is boring and difficult. : What makes worst is that they refued any correction. : .....!!! @@ : I teach them an hour per day, five hours per week. : I am just a part-time teacher, but I volunteer to stay longer. : My purpose is to help them improve Engish. : For their own good, I also carry their book home for correction. : They do not appreciate what I do for them. : It is not my responsibility, isn't it? : Today, I taught them "past time" : They said it is quite easy. : But .... when I asked them to do one exercise, : They gave me ..."He was watched TV" : ...It is supposed to be "He was watching TV" : Therefore, I used Chinese to explain "passive mood" : Haha, I really ran out ideas ... : At that moment, I had an impulse to quit my job. : I can find something better. : Why do I torture myself? : Any living experience is of vital important for me. : I believe I can learn something from my teaching, though it is unpleasant. : ※ 引述《demonderrick (波士頓的秋天(美))》之銘言： : : Hey there, : : First of all, I have to admit that I am not a teacher just like you. : : So, I couldn't say what is best nor what is worst. : : However, I don't really agree the idea to teach grammar in Chinese. : : Yes, it will be hard for both teacher and student at the beginning. : : Take me as an example, when I first learned English in States. : : I can barely understand what teacher was teaching.. : : and it took me some serious time. : : Once I get the idea of what teacher tried to teach.. : : I was learning like fly. : : Of course, one story doesn't go the other. : : But this is what happened to me... : : Again, it is to each of his own! : : Oh!!
