no "A" no"E"
Dear reader: did you remember the article titled (I have a teacher)? It was in the Point of view part. We mentioned in it about a course that will teach you American English in one month. From the very beginning the students and their teacher Rami had an agreement, No "A" No "E". a = Assignment, E = English. It was very important element in the course. If the Students did their assignments, they would learn English.
Now.. After four weeks…
The course has finished. Rami gave the student the key. It was a password,
How to learn English?
He Said [“I'm not a teacher;”
“You have to teach yourself”.
“You’re the leader of yourself”.
“The real course began now, when the course is over”.
“You have to work hard to keep your English develop.”
The last week of the course was projects.
Every student prepared a plan to spend two hours or more out side the class speaking English.
The students made a tour around Lattakia. They were Practicing American accent as native speakers. They use simple language and signs, in order to talk to drivers, and to other ordinary people.
I think it’s the correct way to keep talking in English for a long time.
It will give you the confident. Because, you make a conversation in English. With your friends, and people in the street.
The first journey was to Selah Aldine castle. It’s a great place which gave us the sense of glory. All the team together tried to help the leader.
It was a new experience. We are outside the class for the first time.
Rami gave his advises during the journey.
He corrected the mistakes in a gentle way.
The students finished wandering around the castle.
Then the leader mentioned that we have to prepare lunch.
It was a team work. And we enjoyed every moment.
We spent nearly seven hours talking in English.
It was an achievement.
The second project was a visit to Bakir International Broker.
In two hours we had a wide idea about this financial subject.
It’s a new scale in Syria. We got the information from the manager of the company.
He explained to us about the stocks market for example. We asked him many questions to make the idea clear.
Rami tried to simplify the project with the leader. We knew how to make money from money. We use a new vocabulary as:
Currency exchange, open position, and many other financial expressions.
Here, I want to Thank Mr. Khaled , Mrs. Lean & Mr. Adel for their help.
They were very kind with us.
Then we continue the day with the third project.
The plan was to have dinner in a restaurant called Fatafeat.
It was an invitation from the manager.
Thanks a lot for Mr. Loay and his father for their generosity.
We experienced that popular restaurant, and enjoyed the traditional food.
The group ordered in English. They practiced English during the eating. The leader told us the meanings of garlic, beans, chickpea, and other new wards that related to food and restaurant ordering.
The students were very happy to talk English in a general place.
The fourth project was on Monday.
Our leader took us to visit the grave of Immortal President Mr. Hafez al Assad.
We read Al Fateha and continued walking to the Red Crescent center in al Kurdaha.
The leader who is the manager there, discussed to the group about the nature of her job. She clarified to them how the center helps poor families. And they all agree with Rami that if we give those poor people chances to work. They will live a respectable life.
The leader announced that the group had an invitation to a near farm.
It was amazing place. We all thank Mr. Salim the owner of that farm, for his wonderful hospitality.
Next day we went to slunfeh, to Al ard Almanseah (The forgotten land).
It was a great suggestion from the leader.
Yes, because it was a fantastic place where the six marine scouts camping.
They showed the students how the scouts divided the camp.
How they make fire?
How to play on drums.
It was an interesting adventure inside the scout's camp.
It was a virgin nature, which gave the group a sense of relaxed.
All the members of the course thank Syrian Scouts. The first, and sixth, marine scout and the other leaders there.we will never forget extraordinary thanks for Mr. Rami Minzaljy the enternational commissioner of Syrian Scout.
The next day the direction was to Arwad.
The leader decided to show us the sun set in that beautiful island.
We reached tartoos then, took the boat.
Then the sea trip started.
It was fantastic sight with a kind group.
After wandering in Arwad we had the chance to see the sun hiding slowly in the horizon. It was a fantastic view. The leader succeeds in his choice.
We threw all the tiredness in it.
We had a hope for a new future.
Arwad the old island said bye to us.
In the next day we had an other appointment with the great history of Syria from other side.
Because the new leader prepared a visit to Lattakia’s Museum.
We had great information about cultures.
It was an excited trip through the history.
The leader spoke about the stages which passed in our country.
How alphabets and instruments developed.
We finished the wandering in a hope to have a great future as the glory past.
Then she took us to book and the flowers exhibitions. Thank her because she considered the students as her guests.
Friday was the last project.
I think we saved the best for last.
The project divided into two parts:
First, we had to be in Balloran Block in the morning. In order to, enjoy the nice views with a cup of coffee.
Then, we had lunch in alkalaa village, in Jableh.
It was a great idea from the leader. The place was fantastic.
We were all very happy and excited.
I say thank you here to the Leader's family and the kind people in that calm village.
We had fun in every moment till the last day.
But everything has an end.
We arrived to the final moment.
We had to listen to last speech of our teacher Rami.
He advised us to go on in teaching ourselves. And to be confident that we really did it.
We are from his point of view developed fast.
He was proud of us, and we were proud of him.
All The students try to speak about this experience.
But some students fail to express his/her feelings and began to cry.
Yes, all of us were crying in the time of saying bye to a great friend.
We were a team helped each other. Everyone in his/her project prepared papers about the steps of the trip and the new wards.
Thank you all, you deserve the best.
By The way I have special thanks for the one who make a cute touch in the course. Someone of the students called him flag.
Thanks a lot Ahmad.
Dear reader: Believe me, that the fourth week was a complete individual course.
Rami worked to make us fluent speakers.
He repeated these wards “you have to flow like a river. Louder, higher, and faster”.
And now we were very confident in talking in English.
We increased our understanding about American language and culture.
It was a successful course, which gave great results.
The course was to learn the real English.
It was an amazing achievement for both the teacher and the students.
Every day at five o'clock, all of the group will remember the magic moments of the course. They will be in one heart, and thought, as they are still in the class.
Rami you will stay the absent present for a long time.
It is very difficult to forget you soon.
You did it, and we love you very much.
