"...Even though the computer are slower than the one I used at home, I like emailing my friends about my experiences in China, because none of them has ever visited Asia before. ...In the evening we had Chinese conversation with local students. I like my partner. She is friendly and she showed me an electronic dictionary type of thing that many people have in China. She also taught me the Chinese words of family members and parts of houses and buildings. I learned a lot about her (such as her likes and dislikes) and about China (such as its education system which does not go from kindergarten to 12th grade like the US's.) " (Jihan Chao, 15, NC) |
