1.Do you have the experience in teaching?
2. What will you do if you pass this exam?
Yes, I do. I have taught a teenager in high school. She was the junior. I mainly taught her grammar. I found her grammar was not very systematic. So I taught her from the grammar in words to the grammar in sentences in order to make her master the whole grammar, especially those always appeared in her exams. And during the teaching, I find the most important that it is the teacher should have a better understanding of the whole grammar and the high school English course. Besides, the teacher should pay more attention to the patience. It will make students relax when their learning and get along with the students.
2.
First, I will find a teaching job to practice my teaching ability. And at the same time to prepare the teachers’ exams for school. When I prepare, I think the most important it’s to know the content of text in high school and do many exercises to practice these knowledge.
Second, I will visit some good teachers who is teaching the high school and learn some experience and practice my teaching ability.
Last, I need to reflect myself to improve my knowledge and my teaching procedures.
