Yesterday I happened to have an on-line chat with one of my former colleagues in his middle school office in China. There was an English summer camp (英语夏令营)holding in his school. Students from Oxford University and students from Hong Kong were running this programme . They arranged all kinds of interesting activities for Chinese middle school students and even elementary school students. All of them seemed to be in high spirits in this programme.
One of the UK student stopped by the office and joined our chat. He was very interested in my teaching
Chinese here in the United States, and he told me that " 普通话“ is very difficult. I recommended him to log in our chinesefirststep.com to share his experience in teaching English in China as well.
Actually there will be more and more frequent communications between China and the English world. People will have more and more chances to exchange their experiences or opinions in both Chinese and English. So let's try to make this website a better place for them to reach this goal.
