Friend: Liang Ran, I'm so glad to see you again! Has it really been a whole year
Welcome back!
Liang Ran: Thanks! It's so good to be back in China.
Friend: So you spent a whole year at the Confucius Institute in New York working as a Chinese language teacher, right
Liang Ran: I did, yes.
Friend: But that meant you had to put university on hold for a year. Wasn't that a tough decision Weren't you worried about delaying your studies
Liang Ran: It was a difficult decision to make. But the reason why I went is that I think helping people learn Chinese is a good thing. Also, I wanted to experience life abroad and learn about Western culture. The job at the Confucius Institute was the perfect opportunity.
Friend: What was your work like
Liang Ran: I was a bit surprised at first. That was due to the different ages of the students. Some were teenagers, some were young adults, and some were in their forties and fifties. The thought of teaching people much older than me made me really nervous.
Friend: I would have been nervous, too. Did everything work out OK
Liang Ran: Yes, I shouldn't have been at all worried. My students were all really interested in Chinese culture and happy to learn from me. They did have some difficulty with Chinese characters, and I had to give them lots of support there. On the whole, it was a wonderful experience.
Friend: Do you have any special memories
Liang Ran: Hmm...Yes! Right at the end of the year, there was a show of traditional
Chinese dancing at the institute. The very next day, I came into class to find my
students practising the dances...
Friend: They were learning Chinese dancing !
Liang Ran: Yes! [laughing] They ended up organizing their own dance show. It was
impressive seeing them dance in Chinese costumes. Their enthusiasm was amazing.
Friend: Do you think you've changed in any way
Liang Ran: To sum up, the whole experience made me a better person. Through teaching them Chinese, I realised that there are people all over the world who are fascinated by Chinese culture, which made me become even more proud of China. And through interacting with my students, I learnt more about the world, which will help me in my studies and career. In short, I learnt a lot this year.

1. I’d attribute a lot of success of mine to the unselfish sacrifice from my family.
2. To my mind, train travel is more enjoyable than taking any other means of transport. A reason for this is when the train moves, we can enjoy the beautiful sceneries outside the train window.
3. In my view, life in a small place is more comfortable than life in a large city. I’d put it down to the fact that the life pace in a small city is much slower than that of a big city.
