Mission: Teaching practice


Third year of studies at the TTC finally gave us an opportunity to check if we are able to use the theory in practice. I must say that teaching in real school turned out to be a really challenging experience, however this was just what I expected. My first lesson took place in a primary school and the group I taught was simply terrible. Most of the children misbehaved all the time and didn't want to cooperate at all. Moreover, they were really poor students, so it made my frustration even greater. Fortunately next few groups that I worked with appeared to be far more cooperative, consequently the lessons went on quite well. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed my teaching practice so much that even my diploma paper is going to be about teaching English in primary school. What is more, in order to do the action research part I'm going to have some additional lessons and I'm really looking forward to them.

Sith's childhood


Believe it or not but Dark Lords of the Sith can be in some cases quite cute children ;-). This image presents Me when I was about 7 years old. On my laps you can see my beloved dog - Bugsy. He was probably the fastest dachshund in the galaxy, unfortunately he got killed when a car ran over him. Anyway I hope you like this photo because it is very important for me. Actually, I haven't got many photos together with Bugsy since I had him only for few months.

Take care
