This is my language buddy, Zhao Yuqin. Her English name is flower. She wants to learn how to express herself better in English. She is a huge fan of the natural environment, and has many fascinating stories about parts of the Beida landscape. She has named me Zhang lan, which means blue sky, ostensibly because I was dressed all in blue I think. Today we went to the lake in the middle of campus which is completely frozen over. In China people ice skate just like you would expect. But they also make use of a wicked-looking chair-based thing. I must have a go! I'll post a pic of that when I do. She also showed me around the majority of campus, including the locations of all the gates in and out. Very useful info!!
What I would like you guys to do is think about the most interesting word in English you can think of that relates to nature and post it here. I will then attempt to teach it to her. The suggestion that is voted the bestest will win some cool
Chinese crap! You have one week, starting... now.
