My Teachers..#imported from MP

I have a lot of teachers of course since I was in elementary school, but the teachers that I'm about to mentioned are the ones at ELS Language Centers, Jakarta. Why them? simply because I have their caricatures hehehehehe...okay..lets begin

Mr " argan" Arief

He is our listening teacher and yet so eager to speak :) . He was very keen to help us to improve our skill and willing to gave us extra time. So dedicated! A fun learning by music or movies is one of his way. He even lent me a full series of Friends CDs and I think I can proudly say that because of that CDs sir, I  got an almost perfect score ;). We call him "Mr. I have to say something" simply because he always comments on everything! He's even bragging about his new shoes in front of the class..hahahahaha
We'll never forget you sir! thanks for being such a kind teacher for us
PS : argan = arief ganteng (you wish!..hehehehhe)

Next.....

"The pirates"Andy

He is a Canadian (The Pirates of Canadian..hmm..cool!) and our structure teacher (one of ELS policies is that the structure section must be taught by a native).
He is one of my favorite (along with SSG I guess, rite gals?hehehehe). He is the teacher with a lot of mottoes. "Garbage in garbage out" is the top on the list. That is the motto for every TOEFL test you take. Take it and then throw it! The other motto is "Don't think!", he feed us with techniques and strategies for the test, and trained us like a soldier. So at the test he ordered us not to think, just do it! you think to much you failed to manage time, 'cos TOEFL basically is a war with the time.He also has an Indonesian motto "setiap kata", for us to identify every word in a sentence. Hard time but worth it. One thing that I will always remember about what you've said sir. "If you can't do it today then you can't do it tomorrow, 'cos learning is a process that takes time". Also thanks for teaching me the beauty of the song "Glory of Love" from the structure point of view. 



Next...





. "Master of the games" Sakti

He is our reading teacher, and many times with him there were always games in the class (we asked for it..we are such a naughty student! but hey..he approved it..hahahahahaha).

The sentence he says at his caricature pretty much gives a picture of how the class runs. I don't blame him cos at reading section it was WE who supposed to READ ..hehehehehe. But reading sometimes bores us (ok..ok..most of the time!) that's why we desperately needed the games! Anyway, congrats for your new baby sir! 


 Next...
Ms. Diah "the asking-for-agreement-lady"

"Do you agree with me" is flowering almost every sentence she said. That's what I would called "character"..hehehehe, you are different from the others rite?.
She is actually our substitute teacher replacing Ms Yuli who has to go somewhere else during our course period. She handled conversation class which is nothing to do with TOEFL (old version) test. So, class is always about fun. Games, games and games were our daily activities. Well, conversation is about communication rite? so as long as you keep "mumbling" and the others understand you then it will work out..I guess..hehehehhe
The answer from the question she asked at the pics is defenetely our style, the-trouble-maker-yet-willing-to-study-students ;)....it soooooooo us.
Forgive us Ms, for giving you such a hard (but fun) time..hehehehe and thanks for all those encouraging advises.


Last but not least...
Mr. A*#^@ "The demonic angel"

Well, he is actually the director of EAP (English for Academic Purpose) program, not our teacher (uughh..Thank God!). The one with a very unpredictable mood. Do not try to guess his mood, cos you might be wrong and you end up hearing all his f******* s#%@d vocabularies...hehehehehe.

But we are not just some ordinary students who would do nothing for him in return, so the caricature above is our 'precious' present for him, the one whose name cannot be mentioned.
PS 1 : he actually believe that we consider him as Mr. Angel..duh!
PS 2 : FYI, he still works at ELS after several times braggs to move out...hmmm


Here they are in incomplete form (minus Mr. Arief and Mr.Sakti) with our presents...hope you all like it teachers..
