How To Move On From A Bad Relationship

It has to end. No matter how painful it is, that time is now. Breaking up is never easy. Deciding to end a relationship, no matter how imperfect it is, will always be emotionally and mentally traumatic. In spite of the imperfections, you did share wonderful and intimate times together.
Like what they say, memories are easy to make but are hard to forget and remembering makes it harder to move on. That person you are saying goodbye to has been a part of you. Detaching yourself from him can be very painful and unimaginable. But like everything else in life, think that this too, shall pass and no matter how hard it is to move on, in the end, things will fall into its place.
"Things do happen for a reason" and "What doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger", these clichés are very important to psyche yourself up to move on from a break up. To move on from a bad relationship, you need to remember and do a few things. First, you have got to put it in your head that it is over.
No more hoping, no more fantasizing that he will call you and get back together. Once you get this into your system, allow yourself to cry your heart out. It’s healthy to cry because you are actually saying goodbye to him and to his memories. Aside from crying, expect that you will be very angry at a certain level.
You will be angry at yourself, at him or to your friend who introduced you to him. Again, this is normal but you have to deal with your anger in a healthy way. Some write, while others talk it out with friends. Some engage themselves into work, others take boxing lessons.
My point is you should have a healthy outlet for all your angst. To move on from a break-up, it also helps if you get rid of anything that reminds you of him. This means removing his number in your cellphone, deleting his pictures in your mobile phone gallery and throwing away all those memorabilia he gave you.
Keeping a remembrance from him can only prolong your state of nostalgia. Don’t torture yourself. Also, if you want to move on from a bad relationship, never romanticize your past. Yes, he was a great lover and he was thoughtful at times but snap out of it! Letting all those mushy things get into your head can make you weak and again make you think twice about the break up
If you want to move on then guard yourself from romanticizing your past. It helps if you jot down the things that you hate about him or the reason why you broke up with him in the first place. Be ruthless and honest, take this note out when you feel weak and had the urge to call him.
How to get over someone who has been with you for a couple of months or years can be depressing but ones you have learned to take care of yourself without him, its not as bad as you think it is. So if you want to move on take good care of yourself.
Eat right, sleep right, dance, sing, go to the gym, and hang out with friends. If you feel good physically, you’ll feel good mentally and emotionally.
Don’t be afraid to move on, it may be the greatest gift that you have given yourself

Teaching English to blind students

Of all the subjects teaching English to the blind is the easiest. Having said so there are one or two things teachers who are not trained to teach the blind may need to know before they can be an effective teacher to a blind student.

Understanding degrees of blindness
First and foremost the teachers have to understand the visual condition of their blind student. The teachers do not need to understand the medical implication of the blind student's blindness, just how much residual vision he or she has.
·         Is he or she totally blind?
·         Does he or she have some sight left that he or she may be able to read big print?

Understanding the background
The next thing to do is to learn the background of the student. How and when he or she became blind. If the blind student became blind when he or she was, for example, at the age of eight or nine, he or she has certain visual memory
.

Setting up a readers service
When confronted with a totally blind student do not despair. Read teaching material to the blind student and get him or her to Braille the material before lessons.
In the classroom
When in the classroom the blind student cannot see the board so the teacher has to be more vocal and say out every word he or she puts on the board
. For example, teaching the format of a letter say out, 'On the left hand corner of your page you write the address. The address of this college is number twenty-nine, Green Lane'. 


Teaching Principles of Listening
·      Make it Explicit
Introducing some key markers and vocabulary is often welcome it makes explicit how to understand and manage conversations, which may have been something a mystery. In addition, key terms such as “active listening” and “discourse marker” should be introduced and exemplified.
·      Model
For new concepts, such as active listening, a model is needed. This can be provided by traditional print example dialogues as well as film clips, and teacher modeling with volunteer students.
·      Practice
This might be especially important in active listening, native or nonnative speakers, really know how to do, as we are used to either sitting quietly while a speaker finishes his speech, or interrupting, when we think he or she is wrong, or sitting and planning what we will say in response, etc. Active listening takes practice, but is worth it in terms of improved listening skills and relationships.


The Differences learning Between Adults & Children

Children and Learning
The first thing you should remember about kids is that their brains have more elasticity than those of adults. As a result, it is easier for children to learn a new language. However, as we become older, taking on a new language is more difficult.
It is also important to include materials in classes. For example, children are not interested in reading articles about the state of the economy, or industry. In fact, most kids won’t like reading articles at all! Other techniques need to be employed.
·         Games: In doing this, the teacher will be able to let words sink in easier. Often they can include games such as Pictionary, Simon Says and much more.
·         Story Telling: This is another effective technique. All children love story . Find a simple fairy tale to tell the children, or make one up yourself! Afterwards, ask questions by putting the characters in that story.
·         Attention Spans: Children also tend to have short attention spans, so it is important for you to realize this. Keep them engaged at all times.

Adults and Learning
For older people, learning a language can be a challenge. There are some who do this professionally for translator jobs, and will generally have a gift for this. But for many adult learners, this is going to be new territory.
You might find that there are some students who are intent on learning, and will do their best to concentrate. This may not always be the case, therefore it is important to keep the class as interesting as possible.
·         Activities: Games are possible option for adults as well. A lot of the time, they might have be tailored to suit adults. And debates are often a great way to get adults talking.
·         Humour: It is also a good idea to have a sense of humour. Just be aware how humour translates in different cultures.
·         Topics of Interest: If you are teaching business people, then topics related to what they are doing will probably spark up the students’ interests a bit more.
