Half way done with the program!! This week has flown by!
Today level 1 students learned a very important grammar lesson. The lesson explained the use of "is" in China and how it is only used to describe someone's identity, like their nationality or their job. The term is not used in sentences like "he is tall." This concept is a little difficult to grasp but the students are beginning to understand more of it! Then our level 1 students enjoyed a friendly game of "Who wants to be a millionaire?" They reviewed key terms that they have learned but also enjoyed learning about major festivals and cultural traditions in China.
Level 2 is continuing their work in the business field. Today they learned how to describe products based on their weight, length, and volume. Then they compared that to how Americans describe products in that context. For homework, they are going to draft a simple receipt including Chinese food and olive oil. This is a great way to review foods and money.
As our program hits the halfway point, we decided to treat the students by making zongzi with them. This is a Chinese food that is made of rice stuffed with different types of filling. I think our students had a great time learning how to make this sweet treat :) Ask them to teach you how to make it!
谢谢
明天见！
