Letter 11:Handouts And Notes in my computer

Handouts And Notes

Few days ago, I started cleaning the old files in my computer because I was told my computer will be slow if there is not enough storage space for it to operate.

So, the first biggest group of files I found are my English handouts and notes. And it rewinds me the motivation of making them.

Sometimes, I always ask myself if there is something that can not only follow my interest but also help others. In my free time, I like to help my younger sister with her study to let her make progress, which builds up my sense of achievement. This is why I am fond of teaching, providing my supports for others. However, as growing up, I understand some goals can’t be achieved without cooperation with others, and they needs teamwork and dedication to achieve, they do not make me want to give up, but instead I am enjoying the personal growth of myself. This is one of the reasons why helping others becomes my passion, and also becomes my social tool.

One of the handout I made

I have got into the habit of taking notes in English class since I started learning English. Last summer, I was determined to compile my English notes together into a copy of handout and shared it with my classmates if they need it. At first, I found they were not beneficial to those who have ever used them and doubt whether there was something wrong within my notes. After examining these handouts again, I revised those grammar formulas which might be too difficult for others to understand into an understandable one with more sample sentences added into. Afterward, my classmates did make a progress in English due to the use of my handout. This made me think teaching others isn’t about how well we understand something but about how well we can make others understand.

Through such experience, it has overturned the way I thought of teaching, and I feel more confident whenever I succeed in solving my friend’s problem. I believe my handouts needs to be corrected again and again.
