English Teachers

Like all teachers, they only want the best for us. Math teachers force us to practice more so that we familiarise ourselves with the questions, geography teachers try to use imagery as much as possible so that we can better comprehend the complex works of Nature. How about English teachers? Many of my classmates perceive English as a boring language, mayhap because the teachers in these lessons often rattle on about something which sounds insignificant such as grammar, sentence structure, and report formats. The importance of language is what sets up apart from being mere apes, and the fact that we are far more sophisticated than the monkeys is due to our ability to communicate specifically. Moreover, our IQ level has been proven to have actually lost to the monkeys.

Note the term, 'communicate specifically'. Not just a grouping of weird '00-hs' and 'e-kks'. Therefore, grammar remains a significant factor in conveying our message to others clearly. Hmm, do I need to remind all of you about the importance of adhering to grammar rules by using the video from my previous post as an example? Maybe a new reminder is needed... I just sourced this out, more focused on just humour itself, but useful as a reminder nonetheless. Haha!



Well, that being said, it's really not the theory part of languages that attracts me. This word may sound a bit far-fetched, but 'Passion' is the thing you need to keep your interest up. I got this idea from Mrs Julia Raj, who commented that I wrote with passion after reading one of my literature assignments back in Secondary 2. Hah, see the awesomeness of English teachers now? They're not just some scarecrow standing in front of the whiteboard babbling stuff which not many understand. The power of languages is...infinite.
