Presentation
Jane is from Canada. She is teaching English in China. She is writing an e mail to her family and friends back home.
Hello, everyone!
How are you I’m doing well. Life in China is great! I arrived two months ago. I was quite nervous then. But everyone here is so friendly and nice. Now I feel quite comfortable and relaxed. My students are wonderful and the other teachers are always helpful .
My school is very big. I have many students in my class. In Canada, there are usually only 35 students in a class. And they move from classroom to classroom for their classes. But in China, the teachers move!
Chinese students work very hard. They usually start school at
8:00 a.m. and finish at 5:00 p.m. Chinese teachers work very hard, too.
I’m so happy to be in China. I am learning so much here. My students often teach me Chinese. They also teach me about their culture. It’s so interesting! I visited the Great Wall last month. Look at my picture.
Wo ai Zhongguo!
I miss you all!
