This is my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.
Last week, my friend asked me to teach her English because she can't communicate with English speakers at workplace. At first, I thought it wouldn't be difficult because her English is elementary. I used to teach my brother when he studied at primary school and I thought I managed to do that. However, when I started to plan the class, I didn't know where to start. Teaching without textbooks was more challenging than I thought. Therefore, I asked her to write a paragraph and discussed her mistakes. She told me that she actually took some English courses a few years ago but it didn't help. I was worried that I might teach her wrong grammar so I still suggested she should take those English courses after she has a clearer understanding of basic grammar. Teaching others is definitely harder than learning. This is an opportunity for me to review my grammar books that I rarely touched in recent years.
