Day 12 (八月十三日)

你们好!

Wow! Day 12 already! Today was a great day for the students! They participated in some awesome activities; read below to find out :)

This morning level 1 students practiced their interview that they would be conducting at Xilin Community Center in the afternoon. They reviewed terms through a fun and interactive game of jeopardy, then took group pictures outside. A little fresh air was definitely needed halfway through class ;)
Group photo! All of the professional pictures will be posted at the end of the program:) 
Level 2 students are adding final touches to their commercial lyrics, as well as perfecting brochures and interview scripts. The projects they started on day 1 are finally coming together! They also were treated to some fresh air outside for pictures and then prepared for their visit to Xilin.

One student's awesome brochure for the olive oil!
The best part of our day was this afternoon :) For lunch, we journeyed to H Mart, which is a store located off of Ogden. There is a food court with food ranging from Korean to Japanese; of course we ate from the Chinese location. This market is so large; there is everything from a grocery store, to household items, to cosmetics, to a hair salon! A very efficient place for the Asian community in Naperville to shop. Students explored the store by participating in a scavenger hunt throughout the entire place!

Being goofy at H-Mart ;) 
After H-Mart, the students rode around the corner to Xilin Community Center. At the center they got to interact with the Chinese elderly and play games that tested their knowledge of Chinese. First, the level one students conducted interviews with some of the center's members. Meanwhile, the level two students played games and sang songs with other members. Afterward, they switched places so that each level had the chance to complete both activities. We all had a great time here at STARTALK on day 12 :)


Activities at Xilin!







明天见!
