The name of our teacher we had today. Yes, you read it well, we had our first class today!! Class is actually a big word for the two courses of both one hour, but it is a start! The official time table will contain 3 hours per course, so that is a lot more.

Today we had 'Interviewing' and 'Interview, Talk and Discussion'. She started to explain the aims and exam of the first one (write a feature story) and she was so enthousiastic. I have actually never seen such an enthousiastic teacher in my life. She is also very nice, even though smokes ;). Fortunately, she doesn't smoke in class, but 'not for our sakes'. Well, that's good to know then...
Surprisingly, her English is also good. During her explanation of the course (and some things she told about herself), we understood that her English is that good, because she has lived in England and has an English husband. That explains...

After Interviewing, she started to explain Interview, Talk and Discussion. For this course we have to write a semi-script and execute it in front of the camera. We can choose between a talk show, interview show or a discussion programme. I think I'll do the interviewprogramme, as you need only one extra person for it.

I have decided to keep at least these two courses, as they seem both very interesting to me. Also the fact that the teacher is such an enthusiastic narrator, makes it easier to choose. But we'll see about the rest of the courses coming week. Maybe I'll be just as enthusiastic about those and keep them all six.

Only time will tell...
