My teacher is Estonian.
Eagle Eye, is New Zealand the best English speaking country in the world like Estonia is the world's smartest country
or is that an actual opinion? [img]smile.gif[/img]
*sigh* She is the only teacher that currently really-really annoys me.
You see, English is the only lesson in which we have to do homework every day. Homework is 2-3 pages from the workbook and/or book. That's a minimum of 20 minutes of studying English each day!
Since I mostly have A's and B's in English, I decided to permanently stop doing homework at home at one point. From a certain perspective, that's unfair, since I should obey. From my point of view however, I'm already learning a lot of English as is by writing these long posts in IW.
Anyway, my teacher doesn't like it at all and wants to make me study English at home, even though I cooperate in class. She even gave me an F in two instances(Actually it's a 2/5 by the Estonian grade system, which means failure). Stubbornly as ever, I refused to do homework, since I fail to see any clear advantages in studying English at home.
Some others have happily taken example, skipping homework most of the time. My teacher has begun to spite us, even said 'You think you are such bigshots that you don't have to learn English at home, don't you? Well you're wrong! [Nagnagnag!]' which seems quite unprofessional.
I forgot to mention that she has such a loud and scary voice that stings into the ear. I covered my ears with my hands in today's lesson and oh man, that's when I figured that her voice is the only and sure one I can make out when covering the ears. She has "developed" the so called English American pronounciation through 20 years. What does that mean? Well, it means that she has outnaggened her voice by an unbelievable measure and it's even more annoying than Nanny's voice! Sadly, I sit very close to her.
I think she might even be the reason why I'm very fed up with hearing the English language and therefore avoid any TVs and listen only to Japanese and Instrumental music.
Also, you can't imagine how boring the lesson is! What do we do in a normal lesson, you ask? Well, remember how I said she leaves 2-3 pages of homework every day? All we ever do in English lessons is revise the same damn exercises!
This shit is reaching a breaking point!
I like it if she'd understand which people in my class TRULY need tutelage in the English language.
Oh well, at least I can take great pleasure in the fact that Summer is coming, and the genious Estonian Education Ministry has fixated a 3 months, the whole summer, of holiday!
