Introductions:

Hi, I am Lucy, and a tenth grader in Chiayi Vacational High School. I organized and hosted this event in hopes of teaching elementary students English. I have always believed that reading is the key to learn a language. And thus hosted this camp in hopes of giving teenagers a chance to learn how to teach and for students to learn English.

Reflection:

The activity this time was very successful, better than I'd anticipated. The children loved it. The volunteers gave everything they had into it, their devotion and enthusiasm. This time I worked hard to keep everything undercontrol and manage the time. That day, the reading went faster than scheduled, so I had to change the schedule quickly. Even though I was exhausted, I was still full of the joy of teaching and talking to students. I felt really happy when a second grader told me that she really liked this camp and that she really liked English. I hope that we had sparked an interest in English in them and in the hearts of the volunteers too. We are teenagers, but we can also change the world.

Introductions:

My name is Tina, and I am a first grader in Chiayi Girl's Senior high school. I was a teacher in the activities last summer. When I received the invitation to teach again this winter, the feeling of absolute accomplishment and jubilation from last summer pushed me forward, and I decided to join the teaching process again this winter. I hope it is going to be a fabulous experience for both the volunteers and the children participating.

Reflection:

This is the second time I've been in a volunteer for a camp, but this time I am in charge of getting things and people in place, which is another new thing to me. Which explains why I have so many doubts and problems during the process, but things eventually came in place and I had buckets of fun looking after children, since it isn't a thing you could experience every day. The kids are lovely and the volunteers are wonderful. I appreciate everyone's hard work.

Reflection:

After this activity, I felt exhausted. It turns out that taking children was a matter of great patience and it was not so easy.

The children ate the cakes I made and were very happy. Their smiles made my exhaustion disappeared instantly. In the process, I also learned how to teach children like using rewards to motivate them, and how to deal with problems. I really learned a lot this time and hope to participate again next time.

Hi! My name is Kiwi. I study at Chiayi Girl Senior High, and I like baking and singing. Actually, I'm not a enthusiastic person,and maybe my personality is not that suitable for the camp,but I think everything is worth trying. This is the first time I join a camp as a teacher. I hope the students will enjoy the activities and games we prepared. It is pleasant to know that the children and I can learn something from this precious experience.

Reflections:

With every volunteers’ effort, this winter English camp ended pleasantly and safely. At first, I was afraid that the kids couldn't understand what we were going to do, and they could be very noisy, however, they performed well. Although some of them couldn't speak English fluently, they still try hard to answer the questions which were designed by us. To my surprise, in the craft time, I taught them how to make a mouse bookmark. The children listened to us and decorated their own bookmarks. They created beautiful art crafts by themselves. After all the curriculums ended, I heard some children tell their parents that the day was fun. I thought that was what I wanted to know. If the children enjoyed the activities and games, they were likely to think English is more interesting than it was. During the camp, I learned how to connect with my partners so that we can accomplish the work faster and better. Also, the innocence of the kids made me think of that even though everyone will grow up, we remain needing to keep the innocence, it makes everything less complicated. I'm sure that I gained lots of invaluable experiences through the special activity.

I am Chloe, a high school student. I like to try new things. This time I came to this event because I wanted to see the innocence of children and the happiness of childhood.
