At the Theatre.

The 20th century brought great changes into the theatre. Cinema, radio, television, video altered the course of the major performing arts and created the new ones. But still there are hundreds of puppet theatres, conservatoires and philharmonics, musical comedy theatres, drama theatres and opera houses where the audiences are excited at the prospect of seeing a play and the actors are most encouraged by the warm reception. But before going to a theatre you should book a ticket at a box-office.

The most expensive seats are in the stalls, boxes and dress-circle. The seats in the balcony, pit and the upper circle are less expensive, they are cheap. Then at the entrance to the theatre the attendant tears your theatre ticket in half. He gives you your half back so that you can find your seat by its number. Another attendant shows you to your seat and sells a programme that will tell you which parts the actors are playing and how many acts there are in the play. Then you take your seat and may enjoy the play.

I have always envied the dwellers of large cities. They have so many opportunities to enjoy themselves. Theatres, cinemas, variety shows, circus, conservatoire, concert halls, etc. are at their desposal. In provincial towns like mine is we have only amateur dramatics. That's why I always take the smallest chance to go to a theatre when in a city.

among the problems i encountered during my practicum as a teacher-trainee was time management. i always organize my lesson plans, allot time for each activity but once their on stage, i feel time slips and i realize that the session is over and i have not finished all the things i planned for yet!

  according to the readings i did on the issue, they all agree that the teacher should reflect on the things that may waste his time; i.e. the teacher has to see where his time leaks! examples of these, are draw from my own experience:

  instead of spending too much time explaining to students why not assigning them tasks where they can work actively and thus, be an essential part of the learning? you can interfere only when you feel that there is no other resort for them to understand the teaching point. this way, you will cover all the things you planned for as long as you proceed in the task.

when planning your lesson, apply the smart procedure: set specific objectives; measurable; achievable; realistic & time bound. that is, have clear objectives about your lesson that you can measure at the end of the session. to reach these objectives, they should be achievable meaning challenging but not defeating tasks; realistic meaning that you can really attain them without being too ambitious & finally time bound: you set a time limit for each stage of your lesson.
