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.
