 Class 1e is the class of boys where I usually have some (a lot of) problems. Still I decided to make a plan and evaluate myself. It is quite strange that today the lesson was successful and we managed to work durnig the hole lesson. I am quite satisfied with my professional attitude and my voice. Even my mentor told me that after the lesson. My pronunciation was clear and I did not have to repeat anything. I think I was quite sensible to my students, maybe sometimes i did not react in a proper way. Also I tried to keep eye contact with all the students. I asked how they are, did they understand everything. I think I made clear for the students what the aims and objectives of the lesson were. Finally, I managed to complete my lesson plan and finish the lesson in a proper way.

After the lesson i got a feedback from my mentor and finally, I left the classroom with a smile on my face. She praised me and told me that I managed to create a friendly atmosphere. She was satisfied that all the students had a chance to speak at the lesson. Also, she liked that I corrected the pronunciation of more difficult words immediately.

In conclusion, I would like to say that today I made a huge work because i did not think I would cope with those boys and finally, I managed to it.
