Students: Forest (7 years old)
Teaching Time: 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time
Teaching Materials - Personal demonstration - standing up to practice "Self Introduction" and engage the dialogue of "Thank-you (Xièxiè) and You are welcome (Bù kèqì) with Pinyin."
Wrapping up the lesson with the Speaking practice: "Self Introduction - How are you! I am ----- I am 7 years old" "I love little stars". He became very comfortable with this "wrap up class routine.
The computer screen had a little glitchy - it froze on me with the image while I was giving him OK instruction to add any thing he wanted to speak for "I Love ........"
Unbekown to me, he was very upset at this point. I immediately sent messages for HELP from his parents to see why he suddenly was very moody. The screen was sitting still with the top of his head only while I was talking. Unfortunately, he could not hear me at all. His father came in to rescue for me while he was sobbing.
His mother resent to Zoom Link to start the new session.
All the misunderstanding was caused from the Frozen Zoom screen when he wanted to tell me that he really wanted to add his own "I love old Santa instead of Little Stars". He thought I did not hear his question and interrupt his communication with me.
Anyhow, there is a happy ending that he was doing the "Self Introduction with "I Love Old Santa."
The whole saga was finally he wanted to add on his own "I Love Old Santa - Wǒ ài shèngdàn lǎo Gōng Gōng
