Excerpts of journals from some of my students (work in progress):

Today I am happy for having an oral English Conversation from Jessica. Jessica is the first young teacher for us. I like her very much. I think she is youthful energy.

In the first moment of today class, she gave us some pictures to see. One of them was her brother’s. He is a handsome boy. But he is like his sister, Jessica. We think they are twins. To our surprise, he is only fifteen. If he in China, like his stature, we may think he is twenty-years-old boy. –Vivi

And other thing that gave me a surprise is Jessica’s 15 young brother because he looked so handsome and so tall, we never believed he only 15, so me thought: “Are the American boys growing faster than us?” --Amy


Today is a happy day. Teacher has tried her best to teach us something. She wants to make the class interesting. The result is that she has really done it. This class is the most interesting class that I have ever got because of the differences of culture, sometimes we wouldn’t feel the funny of it. Please believe me, it’s not your wrong, my lovely teacher. ☺

…You can also say something about your experience. To us, a 22 years old girl go abroad to teach is not a simple thing, I worshiped you very much. --William
