I also brush up their mind by asking small small questions related to the chapters they learned in the first unit. Majority of the students are able to answer them correctly and the one thing I found was they are not able to express their thoughts in a complete sentence. So I gave necessary instructions for them to improve their speaking skills. In order to improve that I gave them a debate session related to poverty facing by the people.I saw that most of the students tried their best to tell their opinions, at the end of the class I informed them tomorrow they will have a small test paper to know their understanding about the first unit Hues and views. Later I got substitution hours and the day ended with a lot of happy moments for us to remember in our life.

The students wished me with their sweet voices and smiles on their faces. I asked them to do the preparations for writing the exam. They did it neatly and most of the students were present. At last I speak with them and I give necessary guidance for them to improve their study habits. I wished them a bright future and they wished me back . And they gave some gifts and letters to me , which  was a surprise for me. I thank them and my concerned teacher Sreeja miss and my friends for helping me to complete my teaching practice in a good way even in my hard time. And I thank my students for making me move on with the present situation and for helping me to realise my strengths and weaknesses, and for their unconditional cooperation with me during the teaching hour.
