“I feel lucky the hooligans don’t come to China”

before our english class

We are waiting for our English teacher before class. The girl on the right of this picture studies fashion design. She thinks the most fashionable cities are London and Tokyo instead of Pairs. Do you agree? The third girl on the right will take IELTS. She wants to study in UK. Peter is the second on the left. He has an on-line store. He sells jades. This is a optional class, so I don’t know everyone here. It is a big class. Sometimes there are more than 30 students. How many students are in your English class?

Our teacher is 26 years old and comes from UK. He is tall and has London accent. In every class he first answers our questions of English leaning, and then he organizes us to play games in English. In his class we feel funny but a little nervous, because we want to perform well and win the games. He is polite and has a good sense of humor. You can never believe London has hooligans depending on his behaviors.

Earlier during the World Cup, we talk about football hooligans. He said, “I feel lucky the hooligans don’t come to China”. I am impressed by his words. In every country there are some good things and bad things. People tend to emphasize the culture differences among different countries, but in this globalization time I sometimes think the differences among individuals are much bigger than differences among different countries. The stereotypes are cliché.

I like to read all commends. Everyday I review all my blogs and try to find some new commends. It is so interesting!

Hi Jenny! That pic reminds me of my English classes. I don't go now because I'm so busy with university. But we were about 15 students. You're so right when you said that stereotypes are cliches. By the way, what's the first thing you think of when you hear 'Argentina'? I'm curious hehe. Have a good day !

hello are you jenny? just like the photo on the top bar.is it a summer holidy for you ?

Hi Jenny! Your teacher´s presentment reminds me of my English teacher. Unfortunately, he went home to England in June. I really miss him. He motiveted me to keep improving my language skills. I am much obliged him because he showed me the BBC Learning English website as well. Since then I am a big fan and I have alredy learnt many new things. I like reading your blogs and I enjoy learning English in this way. All the best!

i am realy happy because i found a place that i can find many foriegn freinds.

Hiya! I like reading your lively journals here. Oh by the way, I and some other people hold a weekly gathering to chatter about this or that in this language. It is not necessarily meant to be a linguistic exercise, but getting involved into a conversation or discussion nurtures verbal skills. The best thing is no-one has to pay for joining the chat. Say hi to your fellow learners in Xi'an.

very interesting to learn a new langauge.
