I Describe the internship:

1 The first month at Sunshine English Center:

In the first week, the Director - Ms Sang spent her time introducingthe center and its activities In the following days, I have

tried to get used to the working environment, and they are almostkids so I tried to remember their names to get on well with them Imet lots of staff of the Center and they shared their workexperiences, some skills to communicate with children to me Aftergetting used to the working environment, Ms Sang assigned meoffice duty and she arranged a working schedule for me I had atimetable of working every evening from Monday to Saturday.

My job is quite simple The first task I have to do when I go tothe center is welcoming the students Every day, I waited withanother staff member at the door and greeted them and after theclass finished, I would also stand by the door to say goodbye andpay attention to each students until their parents pick them up.Occasionally some parents are late and I talk to the kids to wait fortheir parents

Before starting a class, I usually check the teacher's arrival timeand the class attendance if a student is absent for two sessionswithout permission I will call the parent While they are learning Ioften prepare a lesson plan, check lessons in PowerPoint, gradetheir tests, and complete each class scorebook Before they take themidterm or final exam, I always check their test if there is nothingwrong I will print the test for them Besides, I always keep cleanthe duty room and remind students to keep the classroom clean onSaturdays of each week I often attend center meetings to listen to

my strengths and weaknesses to improve myself and try to makegood my shortcomings
