In my opinion, being evaluated by others is much appreciated. It is because evaluation is a collection of different opinions from different people of how they view me in their own unique perspectives. I appreciate it very much because through evaluation, I will be able to know my mistakes, my faults, my weaknesses or other areas that need to be changed. During simulated teaching, evaluation is a good training ground for me to know my mistakes or good points earlier rather than to know it in the future which may be frightening.
Nevertheless, I admit that I am a person who is fear of being evaluated by others because the comments may not be the one I like or may be painful. I will be anxious and curious to know what comment my friends give me. If it is a good comment, I will be surprised and joyful but if it is not so good, I will also feel surprised. It will be like a wake up call to me saying, “Hey, it’s time to wake up and don’t repeat the same mistakes again!”
Through evaluation in simulated teaching, there are a few stages being evaluated, such as preparation, set induction, pre-reading, while-reading and language. These are the major areas for a teacher who wants to teach literature in future. For me, being evaluated by others in these areas helps me to become a more effective teacher in the future such as well prepared before start teaching, prepare a creative set induction, choose an appropriate extract for while reading and create interesting while reading exercises.
Moreover, the evaluation of language plays an important role. As an English teacher, I have to have a high level proficiency of spoken English. Through my course mates’ evaluation, it is helpful for me to know my level of spoken English and helps me to learn to improve in my weak areas.
In conclusion, being evaluated by others is a good thing. Learning to accept different comments from others is helpful to improve my weak areas in teaching and other prospects in life. Therefore, friends, do feel free to evaluate me because it is a good learning process. Thanks for your evaluations and comments.

I agree with you that through evaluation, we will be able to know our mistakes, our faults, our weaknesses and also our level of proficiency in English language. For me, I actually am fully aware of what my own weaknesses are. I guess they're just habits that are hard to get rid of. So I guess having my friends pointing it out will be a reminder for me to improve. I truly agree that evaluation is a good training ground for us to know our mistakes earlier rather than to find out about it in the future which could be frightening. Just imagine if your supervisor scold you during practical teaching! (Or worse, the students themselves! Ouch.)
So yes, being evaluated by others definitely will help us to become a more effective teacher in the future.
