MyNewTeahcers
They say that first impressions are very important. My first impression of Mrs. Li was that she was nervous and shy. I think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with us. But now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her. She's kind and patient, and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it!
She avoids making you feel stupid!
I've always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English,but Mrs. Li just smiles, so that you don't feel completely stupid!
I think maybe she goes a bit too slowly for the faster students, but for me it's wonderful!
I feel I'm going to make progress with her.
I'd guess that Mrs. Chen is almost sixty. She's very strict—we don't dare to say a word unless she asks us to. She's also very serious and doesn't smile much. When she asks you to do something, you do it immediately!
There are a few students in our class who keep coming to class late but they're always on time for Mrs. Chen's lessons!
Some of our class don't ike her, but most of us really appreciate her because her teaching is so well organised and clear. And a few students even admit liking her!
During scientific experiments, she explains exactly what is happening and as a result my work is improving. Physics will never be my favourite lesson, but I think that I’ll do well in the exam with Mrs Chen teaching me.
Mr. Wu’s only been teaching us for two weeks and he’s already very popular. I think this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature ---- he loves it, in fact!
He’s got so much energy, this is one class you do not fall asleep in!
He’s about 28, I think, and is rather good-looking. He talks loudly and fast, and waves his hands about a lot when he gets excited. He’s really amusing and tells jokes when he thinks we’re getting bored. Even things like compositions and summaries are fun with Mr. Wu. I respect him a lot.

Module 4 A Social Survey –My Neighbourhood A lively city
It's great to see you again, John.
It's great to see you!
It's been six years since we last saw each other, you know. And this is the first time I've visited your hometown.
Yes, I'm so glad you could come.
You know, I've seen quite a lot of China and I've visited some beautiful cities, but this is one of the most attractive places I've been to. It's so lively,and everyone seems so friendly.
Yes, it's one of the most interesting cities on the coast, everyone says so.
I feel very fortunate living here. And I love living by the seaside. You live in the northwest of Xiamen, is that right?
Yes, that's right.
What's the climate like?
Pretty hot and wet in the summer, but it can be quite cold in the winter.
Sounds OK to me. There are a lot of tourists around. Don't they bother you?
Yes, they can be a nuisance in the summer because there are so many of them.
Oh, look at that huge apartment block!
Yes, they've just completed it. The rent for an apartment there is very high.
I believe you!
This area's so modern!
Yes, this is the business district. They've put up a lot of high-rise buildings recently. And there are some great shopping malls. See, we're just passing one now. My wife's just bought a beautiful dress from one of the shopsthere. Maybe I could buy a few presents there.
I'll take you there tomorrow. Now we're leaving the business district and approaching the harbour.
We're entering the western district, the most interesting part of the city. It's got some really pretty parks...
It seems lovely. Is that Gulangyu Island, just across the water?
Yes, it is. It's a gorgeous island with some really interesting architecture. So they tell me. Do you think we could stop and walk around for a while?
Yes, I was just going to do that. We can park over there.
A friend's told me about a nice little fish restaurant near here. Shall we go there for lunch?
That sounds great. I'm starving!
