Oh man, creative thinking is not an aspect that kids understand in Taiwan.
Like writing a summary on a simple story, they always froze because there werent absolute rules they could follow.
They struggled to even start.
Now, I’m surprised because if it were up to me, I would ensure that my students regurgitate some sentence starters like After reading this book, I feel… haha. Seems like they haven’t been drilled adequately by their teachers!

My students werent the best.
For my school, it was more important to pass them than to make sure they understood and learned english.
Anyway, I helped them out by organizing their summaries the best I could.
