Smart lucky pilot

The pilot, Captain Brian Bews survived the fire blast jet and was treated in hospital in Alberta in Canada. That was a smart of Mr Bews to escaped before the jet sharply kissed the land. To be able to escape in that horrified situation should have required a lot of experiences for he was capable of acting before the explosion that could have killed him into ashes.
I was sorry for what happened to him as I read the news saying that he was an experienced pilot that has flew that aircraft for long. There should have been something wrong with the aircraft that was missed from the checking up before flying.
He excaped from the jet training show for the 2010 Alberta International Airshow, and now I wonder if he recover soon ,will he still be courageful enough to give it another shot? Will the show be cancelled? or a replacement be recommended instead?

New class tonight

I will have my other new class tonight, though I don't like evening classes but I have to go 'cos no other option for day class. Well this time I think I am chosing the courses based on my own interest and I do promise myself that this semester will be a lovely time. I love both courses I am taking this semester and really looking forward to adventure them.
Well, I jut hope that I can always remember my promising myself that way and may God bless me all times moreover in hard times. May His bless be always with me and I am worthy to be called his child. I love Thee.

I don't like when you question me like that

I don't like when you question me like that. You know what? I think you sometimes forget what is me for you though all times I have accepted you as part of me. So, I come to think that all this time I've been pretending to be part of you and worse, you have been pretending to accept that when your heart hasn't.
Thank you for reminding me again, though several times in the past, this kind of incident, though not similar, happened but you convinced me I was wrong and so I trusted you. But, I think this time is real, that you haven't accepted me as part of you by questioning me that way. You and me are two different things, right? We are different?
I am sorry for acting falsely along this time. You know what? Be as who you are as you are a free living creature and you have all the right for that. I am no body for you.

Should English teachers use computer technology in teaching English?

I had graduated from a training college with very limited knowledge of using computer technology to teach English. With my very limited computer literacy, I was very unbenefitted to teach in an IT Diploma college. I was lucky that I was given a few months training to at least make a power point to teach English in the classroom.

In the beginning it was hard to get adapted but luckily with time went by I gained experiences and knowledge from keep practising.

Nowadays, there are a vast development in computer technology that are very helpful for every kind of learning. A great number of online learning sources, lots of software, and the technology even make possible a distance learning.

As an English teacher, at the beginning I can only use the microsoft office for my teaching purpose, which is power point that will make learning more efficient and interesting. And then.... more stuff I can explore and use for the benefit of my teaching. But this will be told in other time....till then.

Stay Down

I was shocked to hear the scream 'stay down' and a rush of people running chasing somebody I couldn't see clearly. I was out from the exit door of a super market after my afternoon shopping. I stopped my step and retrieved a few steps back. Then, I tried to find where the voice came from. In a click, my eyes captured a man being strangled by two men on the ground. I looked at people around and tried to examine if that was safe enough to get closer because I had to pass them to get to the road where I was heading home.
I tried to see the parking cars if there were any police officers, and I could see none. I thought that must be not safe enough, yet. Then I looked at people crossing as they finished shopping too. I looked at the road and saw a motorcycle was standing in the middle of the road with none on it. I assumed that must have something to do with this short chaos I heard.
I didn't want to see that scene from a short distance so when I looked at more and more people passing, I walked fast to the end of the road. From a quite distance, I could see that the man that was strangled on the ground was wearing a motorcycle's costume with a backpack on his back, and a helmet on the ground. I thought he must be the rider of the motorcyle on the road. I didn't spend long on the scene as I didn't want to be involved for any circumstances on this strange scene. I heard enough of bad things happened on the road everyday from the news and went away was the best thing I could do. So I left and felt a little bit terrified. That was so real that it might be a crime or something that could harm other people's life.
What a day!
