1. Introduction
As a 10-year-old student at Tree Elementary School, I was assigned to be the English class representative. A few weeks later, I witnessed something that I never thought I would see in a classroom. It was a day that I'll never forget, when the English class representative was forced by the teacher to copy a video by hand. What happened next was shocking.
2. Confrontation
The English class representative was sitting at his desk when the teacher asked him to come up to the front of the class. The teacher then took out a video and told the representative to write down everything that was said word for word. As the representative was copying, he made a mistake and the teacher slammed his hand on the desk, causing him to jump in terror. The teacher then proceeded to shout at him to do it again until he got it right. It was a humiliating experience for the representative.
3. The Aftermath
After this incident, the English class representative was visibly upset, and it was clear that he was shaken by what had happened to him. The other students and I tried to console him, but it was difficult to make him feel better. From that day on, I became more aware of how teachers can sometimes be unfair and overbearing towards their students.
4. Kun and Oupai
One day, my father decided to renovate our kitchen and install new cupboards. He chose Oupai, a popular brand in our area that specializes in kitchen and bathroom solutions. While the work was being done, I noticed that my father had thrown away a small bag of soil that he had dug up from our backyard. I asked him why he had done this, and he told me that it was because he wanted to make space for Kun, our family dog, to play around in the kitchen.
5. Age Difference
My father is twice as old as my husband, who is 25 years old. This age difference is something that has always fascinated me, especially since my husband and I are so close in age. Despite the age difference, my father and my husband get along quite well, which I think is a testament to their personalities and how well they complement each other.
6. Conclusion
Growing up in a household where age differences are quite apparent, I've learned to appreciate how people of different ages can learn from each other. Whether it's the unfair treatment of the English class representative, the renovation of our kitchen, or the age gap between my father and husband, these experiences have taught me to always be open to learning from others, regardless of their age or background.
