F2F Class Notes (Lily)[S/R]

Speaking exercise

Last day, I told good news to Raph, I just have found my new job several days ago. I passed four rounds in one day. Although it made me feel tired, finally I got the job. The most difficult part is the first round, I had to do some technic test, I didn’t do some hand craft for a long time since I graduated from my school. It’s about seven years until now. This made me nervous and I don’t have confident to do this test. But before the interview I have one day to prepare. I searched demo class online and imitate stuff, how to act as a teacher in the class. I  didn’t have any teaching experience so I feel a bit afraid to do this test. My mother told me the teaching common isn’t important for me, I just focus on my teaching style and my manners. She gave me confident and when I had this at that day, I thought I had a good performance. When I heard I passed the first round, i never been nervous. From that moment, I had confident to have interview in the next rounds.

Last time, I told Raph some good news, I just have found my new job several days ago/ not long ago. I passed four rounds in one day. Although it made me feel tired, fortunately still  got the job. The most difficult part was the first round, I had to do some hands-on skill test, I haven’t done any hand craft for a long time since I graduated from my school; it has been 7 years since I graduated. This made me nervous and I didn’t have any confident to do this test. But before the interview, I had one day for preparation. I searched demo class online and imitated things, such as how to act as a teacher in the class. I  didn’t have any teaching experience so I was a little scared to do this test. My mother told me that the teaching content isn’t important for me, I just need to focus on my teaching style and my behaviors. She gave me confident, so I had the interview, I thought I had a good performance. When I heard that I passed the first round, I was finally relaxed. From that moment on, I had confident for the next interviews.

Reading

Charlotte was born without an ear canal in her left ear, causing her to be partially deaf. Now, at five years old, she is the youngest person ever to receive an inner ear implant.

Doctor Powell explained that the device is small and implanted behind the ear and under the skin where it can directly stimulate the inner ear with vibration to take sound into the ear.
