Lessons today was good! As in, its not dry and boring since it was more engaging as it was on skills!
Anyways the highlight today was the lunch with the China student, my table was with the lecturers, so honestly, it wasn't as fun. People were doing yam seng and stuff and we just did a toast. Nevertheless it was fun to know more about the china system, teachers here are respected, students are very hardworking and they are really envious of our system.
Jing Yi the student that I was talking to, commented that we students get to go to university earlier than china students, we have more opportunities for scholarships etc. You could almost feel her sadness about her being much older than us and still studying in university. Nevertheless I would like to wish her all the best in her dream of becoming a language teacher! I bet she would be famous with her students since she is so pretty and nice!
Although Mr Dan and Ms Tay felt that the dinner was a disaster as we were not being very polite by making so much noise, we all agreed that we had fun learning from the china students. Networking, in different context, would be different. They are students not businessmen and women, they would think we are insane if we were to talk to them so formally!
