Although the subject I teach is only 3 classes each week, it still makes me exhausted.

I spend a lot of time preparing how to teach this subject beforehand. What induces me to do so is not the lofty hope of becoming a great teacher but the easy content of the subject.

It is not easy at all to teach an easy subject, because the students always can understand it by reading the textbook themselves. Besides, in accordance with the guide to teaching, I just can teach ‘one page’ in each class, that is, I may spend a whole class just keeping asking ‘What can we do to make our class better?’

Lack of useful skills or much experience of teaching may be the factor that makes me be unable to teach just by textbook or critical question; furthermore, I do not like to follow the teaching guide when teaching. Hence, in order to figure out the way to teach each page, as mentioned, spending pretty much time is necessary. Even if none can guarantee there would be any outcome after the time I spend, I still cannot skip this step unfortunately.
