Hey I think I'd better jot down some afterthoughts beforethey fade away. Anyhow, all these opportunities are also valuable to my ICC competencedevelopment.
Well, though absorbed in organizing activities, I did sitdown for half an hour with a group, and talked happily with a man from Cameroun.
I made a good guess from his accent that he is a French speakeractually. He impressed me with his writing on paper as an aid for his English.
By the way, the two girls impressed me with their casual andinteresting questions such as how long will you call back home, to your Mom/Girlfriend?The answer is once a week he calls hi***other, and almost everyday he talkthrough skype with the girl. The two girls in front of him sighed on thedifference---surely I totally understand it as a mother, a daughter and a wife.
His answer about his experience in China made us laugh heartily!He said in China there are too much homework so that he has to do them latetill 1 pm every night, le**ing no time to all the activities and many kinds ofinvitations.....I'm happy to see a foreigner experience the "torture"most Chinese students, at the primary or secondary level, are undergoing now. Iironically made a self-mockery: We are a hard-working people.
Of course I shared our hardworking feature by specifying ourdaily schedule. For me, for example, I work usu. before 6 am till after9pm.Often get up early or stay up late than that. He, instead, work from 9amto 8pm,as a head (other staff 8 am to 5 pm). I told my Chinese bosse***ay stay up till2 am or 4 am often. He couldn't help exclaiming "my God!"when heheard many such anecdotes.....
Well, I would like to talk about another thing somewhatuncomfortable. One foreign lady taught three of my students to sing a line of aspiritual. Though the rhythm is beautiful, I dislike her act for it's kind of imposingunconsciously their value upon ours.
But as an introverted Chinese, I, may be the three Chinese girls are ofthe same, just complimented and thanked her gently.
