Fei-TP-1

After taking TEFL program, I realized that it was not as easy as I thought, Our instructor is a really nice young man, he allowed me to have a tutor because English is my second language. Jackson, another really nice young man volunteered to be my English tutor. We have met three times so far, he is a really gentle, polite and very knowledgeable about English, also he has a very open mind and likes all different culture and customs. We talked about the differences between America and China, and a little bit about Japan and China history. I am a little bit surprised that Jackson has no idea about what happened between Japan and China. I introduced him to a movie called " the Children of Huang Shi" which is also based on a real story. It was directed by Roger Spottiswoode, and played by Jonathan Rhys Meyer, Radha Mitchell and Yun-Fat Chow. Please do not get me wrong, I did not mean to encourage hatred and war, to get to know other countries background will help you understand more about their cultural. Jackson, Thank you so much for helping me.

  1. What did you and Jackson work on specifically? Is he doing the planning, or you? Glad to see you are continuing your English language learning, as well as providing Jackson with some culturally relevant information about China. Movies can be a a great tool for understanding different cultures and history.
