In search of happiness!

                               In search of happiness!

Once upon a time, a man called Saadu lived in the village with his family. Despite being wealthy, he was neither happy nor satisfied. One day, he was told by many astrologers that he had a few days to live on the earth. So he was worried about getting happiness. He didn’t get it. Further, he asked many of the villagers for it. They varied answers that made him perplexed.

One day, he met the sage and said he should go to the city and enjoy over there. So, he packed his bag with money and gold. He started his journey in search of happiness and reached there within a few days. He tried to get happiness by spending money over there. However, he was not satisfied with it. At least he came to the slum area where he met some people. While talking with them, he shared his concern.

One of them told him that he knew such a man who would show Saadu happiness. So, he became curious to know it. He went with him to the place. Saadu saw the man who looked beggar and torn-clad. That man told Saadu to keep his bag down and close his eyes for five minutes. He put it down and closed his eyes. But he saw after a few minutes that the man took his bag and started running. Therefore, Saadu also began running after him. But that man was so swift in running that Saadu could not see him.

After some time, Saadu saw him at the same place with his bag. He immediately ran there and bragged his bag to his heart. He became happy after getting his bag. Consequently, he started crying and came to the realisation that he had his happiness within him.

Happily, he went to his village and spent his life with the family.

    My teaching techniques for English language learners.     What works in one place doesn’t necessarily help at other side. That is true for teaching and learning at schools and colleges. There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learnin...
