Simon's Story
I
am Simon. I took the opportunity to visit China as an English teacher at
China University of Geosciences in the city called Wuhan. During my
six-month stay, I learned a great deal about the culture, history, language,
customs and traditions. This was possible through the interactions with
cooperative students. Traveling allowed me to see the cultural differences
amongst different provinces. I also had a chance to
meet many many friendly people. Their kind support and warm hospitality
will not be forgotten.
My Students I am so proud of all my students. I witnessed their gradual academic improvement and their developing interest in the usage of the internet.
Thinking about traveling abroad? Teaching in China was a worthwhile endeavor and I strongly encourage those who dreamt of working abroad to "just go for it!"
SINCERE THANK YOU
to everyone in Council for International Exchange;
to all foreign teachers I met in Beijing from the US, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere;
to teachers and students at China University of Geosciences; and
to everyone else.
