Writing to inform and entertain
You have just finished your first day as a new teacher at Brook Street Ragged and Industrial School in London in 1853. Write a letter to your parents telling them about it.
Dear mom and dad,
I am just back from my first day of school as a new teacher at Brook Street Ragged and Industrial School in London! It was a confusing, exciting day and I thought it would be great to tell you my experience today!
I was revitalised by the fact that I am going to have a new jubilant experience the moment I woke up today. I tried to look benevolent, friendly and my concern was to not make any mistakes which might represent professional dearth. There were about 40 students of different ages in a class, so it was interminable to cultivate their talent. Inaugurating a class was unsettling because of insolent and boisterous children.Finally, with the help of adroit head teacher, they stopped cavorting and changed their demeanour, so I could finally start their class. I didn't want to get help from any other teacher, but I couldn't help it.
The first hour was a complete chaos because my wayward of teaching was totally different from what they used to learn. I prefer them learning from the nature, so I took them outside to draw the scenery.
However, they didn't know how to use a pen, so I had to teach them. It is partially because it is a industrial school but the biggest reason I think is due to teachers just teaching them about the jobs, instead of letting them have their creativity.
Some students knew more than the others did and were capable of going for a higher grade, but because the school was so small, they had no choice but to stay there. I felt truly sorry, so I decided to give them lessons after school apart from the normal lesson. Luckily, they were really co-operative and appreciated it. I am sincerely honoured to meet as kind students as my first badge and I will really work hard to guide them to a right path.
Dad, mom, you don't have to worry about me as I'm having a great time here and enjoying the ecstatic moment. I hope my students can flourish in their learning and make me proud! I now realise how conceited and snide I was after teaching these children. I'm so sorry for what I did and I promise I will be an ardent daughter from now!!
Love,
Ye Un
