Day 10 (八月十一日)

你们好!

Today students were on their best behavior for the site visitor ;) Since STARTALK is a government funded program, we had visitors come to make sure we are doing our job today. I think we had positive results.

Level 1 students pretended to meet each other at the Great Wall. One was a Chinese student (中国学生)while the other was an American student (美国学生). They began talking because the Chinese student was particularly intrigued by the American student's hair ;) They learned how to say which high school they go to, then reviewed the vocabulary from the day before. Students had fun with this activity since due to its interactive nature.



On the other hand, level 2 was a little less interactive for they had unit 2 test today… but before hand they had fun learning about gift culture in China. They learned to always say "don't mention it" whenever they give a gift and learned to always be polite. They also worked on their brochure design, as well as the lyrics for their commercial!

This afternoon, the students had round two of the tea ceremony! Students got to practice making tea and also tasted many different kinds. We were led by one of the East Asian studies professors, he is definitely skilled at what he does! We are excited for the rest of the week! Almost done :(



明天见!
