Answers: 1.- The first time my guide teacher asked me for help, was the very last time I got there at the class. I was asked to write the correction of the test on the board, they took before I got there. It took almost the whole period because the board was not wide enough, and also they were very noisy. So it was hard for the teacher call their attention. Beside they were complaining about the test results. 2.- They were all standing, walking and laughing in everywhere but not in their sits. At first the teacher did give the main instructions, but during the correction of the test I dis, because they asked about some doubts, which were written on the board, and because the teacher was busy with some others, I did help some.

3.- They were kind of impressed, it might be because I look young, and my explanations were easier. The atmosphere was fine, not perfect, but at least a big group was doing the correction of the test. 4.- Other assignment that I am ask to do, beside writing on the board, is checking homework, prepare activities to in classes, and help them during class work. 5.- No I have not propose anything like that. I just have the chance to do what my guide teacher says. 6.- No by now, only paperwork. 7.- actually my teacher did not say anything.
