Hobbies

It was a busy evening at Smith's School of English Kyobashi yesterday, and I started my evening with a class of 3 red and green level students.

Mr S had cancelled his classes the previous week for his painting exhibition, so I naturally asked him about his exhibition once all students settled down comfortably in their chairs. He was very excited about it and eagerly showed us many photos of the exhibition as well as his two paintings. We were all very surprised by the excellent work and the other two students had a lot of questions for Mr S, which was fantastic because at their level, the purpose of the class is for them to communicate with each other and with the teacher. Since painting was only one of Mr S's many hobbies, I had no problem getting Mr S to talk about his other hobbies, and the conversation went on smoothly to the different hobbies the other 2 students had.

We all had such a good time that I hated to bring the class to the end.
