Audience’s attention 8/17/2017

My daughter’s teacher of this year sent out an announcement to parents. She is having a hard time in teaching because her students excessively talk during the class. According to my daughter, most students don’t listen to the teacher, simply because it is not fun that much.

On the other hand, the teacher of last year seemed to be good at teaching. My daughter often told me the teacher taught in a unique way, so that it was easy for them to understand. Also, the teacher taught in a funny way, so that everybody in the class laughed a lot. The students seldom disturbed the teacher because they didn’t want to miss any fun parts.

I can easily imagine the teacher often made the students laugh. I have chatted with my daughter’s teacher of last year. She told me she always thought about the unique teaching way so that her students would not get bored. Her eyes are always shining just like kids. She is full of curiosity. And it is her curiosity that makes her way of explaining things unique and funny.

When it comes to communicating with others, we need to keep getting the audience’s attention. In order to make it happen, instead of throwing a fast ball all the times, we sometimes have to change to a curve ball or a slow ball unexpectedly. The teacher needs to use some technique to keep students’ attention by throwing a variety types of throwing balls.

This can be applied to other things in our daily life. Sometimes it might be fun to detour instead of keep going to the fixed route. We might find something new unexpectedly. Life should be fun, right? 

Any feedback? (^^♪
