2. Health risks of secondhand smoke for children

What is it like to teach English to children?

Let’s start with the first thing that comes to mind: they have short attention spans. 
Children get bored and distracted very easily even in their mother tongue, so when someone is speaking in a language they do not know, it can be that much harder to keep their focus on you.
In terms of motivation, it is highly unlikely that they have chosen to learn English. Unlike adult learners, children are signed up to learn English by their parents or learn it as part of their school program.
Interesting and fun things motivate kids. They remember things like these fondly and will then look forward to attending their English classes.
Another consideration is that each child learns differently. Therefore, a lot of patience and understanding are required. Motivate them by creating lessons that are fun and engaging. Fun activities, games, and songs are a must during each lesson.
Personally, I love teaching English to children! Tempus fugit, time flies as they say, and lessons always go so quickly when you are having fun. Not to mention, when they learn a new phrase or word and are able to use it, your heart literally explodes with pride.
Let us see how we can experience that feeling by looking at some tips.
Know the objective of your lesson, the vocabulary or language to be used, and the material needed to play those fun games to reinforce the language.
For every lesson, it’s important to have a clear idea of what you are teaching and what is needed. If something like a game is required, allot time to find a good one, or even make one if necessary.
A good tip to remember is to always prepare more activities than needed. Some activities may take up more time than you thought and others less time. To avoid being stressed because you have run out of things to do during the lesson, bring those backup games or activities.
If you are not naturally creative, being prepared helps you to review other resources to help you come up with an assortment of games or other activities to be used in the lessons.
