Don't Jump to the Conclusion

Today as a proctor, when handing out the math test papers to students, I found all the three pages are printed one-side only. At that moment, I was wondering how much paper would have been saved if the test had been printed double-sided.

Welcome Back, Tony

Today Tony, the student who underwent lung surgery two weeks ago due to pneumothorax, came back to school. A few minutes before the first class, when hearing a student say, "Hey, here you are back," I, at that moment talking to another student, turned and saw him stand beside me. He looked good. It was a great joy to have him back in class!

About the Disqualification of Yang Shu-chun--A Report on CNN

This morning, in the first class period, the moment I entered the classroom, Class 314 students asked me if I watched the news yesterday about the taekwondo athlete's disqualification at the Asian Games. They seemed to be very angry about the ruling, deeming it unfair. I told them I couldn't make any comments until I got a clearer picture of what had really happened. To know more about the case, I surfed the Net and found this news report at the CNN website.

For English learners, I underlined in the article some fixed chunks, or collocations, and two important grammar points I've just discussed with my classes recently.

Modals, plus Two Handouts

Yesterday and today, we had a brief discussion about modal auxiliaries in class. Modals are different from auxiliaries like "do, does, did." The latter has only grammatical function, helping to form questions or negative sentences. Modals carry the meaning of "obligation" or "possibility/certainty." Take the following three sentences for example.

May Him Get Better Soon

A student in my homeroom class has suffered from pneumothorax (氣胸) for the past few days and underwent an operation yesterday afternoon. This Tuesday morning, the student felt acute pain in the chest during the 2nd class period. His classmate then sent him to the school's health care center near noon. Ms. Chu, after listening to his chest through the stethoscope, called the student's father and suggested that he take him to a hospital soon for some examination because she detected noises in the student's chest and suspected he had pneumothorax.

Going Through Unit 6 "Body Imperfect"

Today in Class 314 we moved on to Unit 6 "Body Imperfect." It is a lesson assigned for independent study. However, taking it as a good chance for students to hold different attitude toward people with disabilities, I had decided to go through the lesson quickly with them, without going into details.
