    Verb tenses

    Very great! Grammar is very important in every language. We use words to describe an object so that the aidiences understand what we want to say. The words we used in the sentences have their meanings and actions. They can tell about the conditions and times. Time that tells us the related events. So, we use verbs to describe the tenses.

    I say that a paraphrasing sentence should not be shorter than original sentence because when we rewrite a sentence by paraphrasing, we use more words to understand byself or others. I think that the author similarly said in his article.

    Analysing your workload

    All the questions are very good and interesting because we, sometimes forget to manage our time spent in teaching.
    We often waste our valuable time on teaching or presentations that should not spend as much.
    We, sometimes, often ignore the students' inquarries or reactions.

    Looking beyond outward behaviours

    This example is very nice. When it happen in the classroom, most of teachers break anger and scold to the students. Without taking scold, we can organize the students and by telling or sharing their feeling to the peers. By taking this can help the one and other learners do notice their weakness.
