I cant say no...but what can i do?

Question

im a chinese girl and now studying in spain. i started learning english when i was really young, so my english is the best among all in my class and somehow even better than our english teacher. anyway...thus, all my classmates want me to help them with their coursework and presentation. at first, I was happy that i could help. but now i m really annoyed becuz they dont do their work anymore. I M THE ONLY ONE WHO HAVE TO DO THE HOMEWORK, THEN THE WHOLE CLASS COPY MINE!!! I HAVE TO WRITE THEIR PRESENTATION!!!I HAVE TO TRANSLATE THE ENGLISH NOVEL INTO SPANISH FOR THEM!!! i really dont want to do that anymore, but i cant say no to them. i dont want to be a machine, or allow someone to USE me or something...but also, i dont want to hurt anyone or destroy the relationship with them. god, what the hell should i do?

PS: the teacher hates me, becuz i help my classmates with their homework...and keep correcting her mistakes during classes...

Answer 2

Let your friends do their homework now because you have helped them enough . You would make an excellent Teacher, you could do T E F L .--- TEFL is Teaching English as a foreign Language. E S O L // English as a Second Other Language.Explain to your teacher how this has become a problem for you ,I am sure she would understand, I think she finds you a challenge.In my Teachers Book you are classed as a Leader student.Guide them, but encourage them to be independent from you, it will mean having to stand back and watch instead.This is a common place problem in the classroom ,the teacher has to cope with the students progress,they are your sounding board , they are taught to cope so take heart .She should not blame you, because your friends are asking you for help ,did you offer them help at one point,I think it was a situation were you were studying together, but through your dilligence you have surpassed them in knowledge.So now they look up to you .Your Teacher is responsible for maintaining control over the class,.The solution would be to give you all different homework.But perhaps that is not possible.E.Mail if you need anymore advise.I am a T E F L Teacher.
