Can’t we just learn from the book?

by | Oct 15, 2011 | Updates

Okay so we have this small homework book which accompanies the main text book. I find the homework quite easy because if I ever get stuck, I can refer to the text-book and work out from there what to do. Where with these sheets that the teacher gives us, there is hardly any support for that type of content. Or any support which I can understand. 😀

 

It kind of made me happy that I could do that work and I didn't even have to refer back to the main text-book because we learned all that in class! I mean it is great our teacher is giving us extra homework and work to do; to work out for ourselves, but it is very stressful. – Especially when you aren't sure what you are doing is correct. I will have to spend tomorrow with my cousin to help me with my worksheets or to least tell me if I'm doing any of it correctly.

 

As for my social life…

 

I have kind of let that slip for now. I'm just focusing on studying Chinese, remembering the Chinese characters and trying to get hopefully get better at this very difficult language.  But because of this I haven't been going out with any friends and I have essentially isolated myself to … myself only. It is kind of sad. But at the moment, I have this attitude of "I don't care about anything anymore…", I just need to learn this language and catch up with everyone else.
