Hello, everyone. Sorry for the delay, because blogger.com is blocked in China and I just arrived NY yesterday night.My name is Jingyi Yuan. I’m an International student from China. Tomorrow will be Chinese New Year Eve; so I’m here sharing our happiness with all of you from another part of the earth. I haven’t been teaching yet, but I will start my student teaching this semester and I hope to teach Chinese in my future teaching.
Through the learning of the last year, I have my understanding of Language Art and New literacies. It’s the product of our high technology era. People change ways of learning with technology and make it much easier and more attractive.
My favourite joke is about cultural difference, actually it is about language. It happened between an international student and her landlord. One day, the landlord asked the student: “Did you have your dinner?” The student answered: “No, I didn’t.” But the old lady didn’t hear clearly, so she asked again: “You didn’t have your dinner?” According to Chinese logical method, the student answered: “Yes” (Which actually means No). The confused lady asked one more time: “ Did you have dinner?” The student answered: “No, I didn’t.” The old lady then asked several more times, but finally gave up.
Hope you like the joke. I’m glad to be with your guys in this course.
