First Week in EFL Class

The first week  in EFL class, we had lots of activities. Our teacher is Mr. Michael, he's also the grade eight homeroom teacher. We had activities such as coming up words out of our full name, letter by letter. My name is really long, and it took a lot of time to come up with such a lot of words.

We also learned about the historical events of Afghanistan, which is a lot, so that we can relate the history with those in the novel "The Kite Runner". Other than that, we have to do the word for the day. Each students presents a word for each session, but two students will present in case of double period. It really widened my knowledge.

We were also taught about the kite running, which is a two-person affair, with one person called "charka gir" and the other called "gudiparan paz." Charka gir is the one in charge of holding the wooden kite spool around which the tar, wire is wound. On the other hand, gudiparan paz is the one controlling the movement of the kite in the air. They were supposed to strike down other kites with the string or wire of your kite. Overall, it is an interesting and exciting week for all of us.
