My Class of Chinese Conversation
Sep.4,Wednesday.Today I had a meeting with Mrs Shelley Grund,the director of office of continuing education at 8:15a.m.
The meeting was very relaxed.She gave me one book of Chinese conversation.She told me there is only one person applying to the lesson and later there will be one another person in.She asked me whether I would like to teach one person.I told her that I’d like to not only just one person.That doesn’t matter.I think it’s a good opportunity for me to express my opinion on
Chinese learning.My majoy is literature.But I’ve never taught Foreigner’s Chinese.Sometime I will talk about how to learn Chinese with Korean students .Language is the topic you can talk with Forergn people forever.So I think it’s a good way for me to teach the Chinese Conversation well.
After meeting,Mrs Grund showed me the classroom where I will teach.I will teach eight times from Sep.16 to Oct.12.Continue……

My first Chinese Class
Sep.16,Monday.From this Monday,my Chinese Class began.Today’s noon I was told that I would have an American girl except the Japanese student.Now I had two students in my Chinese class.
At 6 o’clock in the afternoon,I met two students,one is named by Anna and the other is named by Mitsuru.After talking with the two students,I found both of them had been in China for more than one year.Anna stayed in Guizhou University for one-year exchanging study and now she is working in the AT&T.Mitsuru is working in the Fuji Corporation.Their Chinese level is different.Anna knows Pinyin and she can recognize a few characters.On the other side,Mitsuru knows some Chinese characters and Pinyin but he doesn’t know how to read it clearly.Those are their problem.They both hope to keep their Chinese level from my class.
During my first class,I still introduced something about Pinyin and asked them to pronounce all of the initials and finals.If they met some problem with pronoucation,I corrected them at once.That practice helped me to know about their Chinese level.Anna always pronounced e by e instead of /ɛ/.I think they both have a certain level of Chinese language.It was the good beginning of my Chinese Class.

The Last Chinese Class
Time always goes fly.I want to record each Chinese class but I can't ,because I haven't a lot of time to record.I'm sorry to fail to record everything.Today is Oct.9.After I had the last Chinese class,I must record something of my Chinese class and my student,Mr.Mitsuru Uchiyama.
This is the first time for me to show his picture on my weebly.After the first Chinese lesson,he becomes my only student.I was told by shelley that Anna had something wrong with herself and she would not come to my class once more.I thought it didn’t matter.Both of them have different levels in Chinese.It might be easy for me to teach one student.After that,I had seven classes with Mr.Mitsuru.
Let me introduce my student briefly.He is a Japanese.He had stayed in Suzhou and Beijing for more than one year.He knows Chinese Character well but sometimes can’t pronounce them very well.He arrived in America twenty-one month ago.He works in the Fuji Film company.He ever worked in Holland and he had also studied German for seven years.He is continuing learning English,Chinese and German now.I think he is very interested in languages.I always encourage him to keep his interest on language.I told him that if he could insist on doing one thing for seven years ,he could be the expert of that aspect.He agreed with me.
How about our Chinese lessons?After I knew I just had him only one student in my class,I told him that I would teach him in Chinese instead of in Enlish.Though sometimes he couldn’t understand some Chinese language,I tried my best to have taught him in the easiest Chinese language.I wanted to build a Chinese language enviroment for him.I let him understand everything I said in Chinese.If he had some problem of understanding my class,I would write down the Chinese character and Chinese Pinyin on his textbook.And then he could learn them easily.Each class we review the previous content and I teach everything he wants to know.
I sent him the school badge of Shanghai Normal University and gave him the class certification.He said this was the second time of having the certification.The first certification was from Joyce.
In the end of the class,we took the photo and exchanged the telephone number.Just now I received his e-mail.He told me if I went to go somewhere I could call him.So kind person!

A Precious Present From Shelley
Oct.9,Wednesday.I would have a last class today night.I went to Ms. Shelley's office in the afternoon ,as Ms.Shelley sent the e-mail to me several days ago and asked me to get one certification and evaluation for my only student.
When I arrived her office,we talked with each other happily.To my surprise,she took a big bag and send it to me.I would never forget what she had told me.'Alice,this is a present for you.You sent a nice present to me at first and had the Chinese class for our continuisng education office.To express our gratitude,I want to send you this present'.Really,I couldn't believe my eyes.That's for me.I was so excited and thanked her a lot.'You may open it now'.'Of course'.The present had an elegant packaging.I opened the box.Oh,I was amazed that there was a painting on the box.Nice painting!I was so familiar with the scene.'Was that the State Park?''Yes,have you been there before?'Shelley asked.I was glad to tell her that we had a BBQ in the State Park.I told her I liked this painting very much and it also reminded me of the good time I had spent in the State Park.The surprise didn't stop yet.At last she told me she was the author of this painting.She painted the painting in two hours.……
