Wang Lao shi (lao shi means teacher) takes us for Chinese Language, which is recognising characters, speaking, studying grammar, that sort of thing.
He likes: Tests, handouts and striped jerseys.
Yang Fan Lao Shi takes us for Conversational Chinese, which is how to ask for directions, or give directions (which I have done once! But only in English...) and how to talk about ourselves.
She likes: Dresses with big sleeves, playing games, cheerfully yelling at us.
Shao Lao Shi takes us for Chinese Culture, which is supposed to be Calligraphy and Paper Cutting. We haven't done any paper cutting yet, but maybe tomorrow will be the day. Our class makes him nevous.
He likes: Hiro from the tv show Heroes, giving constructive feedback.
Zhao Lao Shi takes us for Singing. We study the language of songs and then we learn how to sing them. He is a dark horse.
He likes: Mime (he's really good!), singing songs about whatever we're talking about, looking serious.
And that's how it is.
Umm, scuse me, but are your insightful descriptions of your teachers based almost solely on what they happen to be wearing when the photograph was taken? In which case I like lying about reading books in my pyjamas (Oh Hey! you ARE a genius).
ReplyDeleteYou teachers look like a regualar laugh riot. What are their tactics for behaviour management of the more rowdy (Rose, Judith) class members?
They have no behaviour management. We just run riot. It's rather fun to turn the tables.
