Today myself, Erika,and Jeff were invited to visit Class 12's Class Meeting at Lanzhou No.33 Middle School. Class 12 is one of the classes that I teach. There are 54 students in the class and all of the students are very enthusiastic about learning English. They had put a lot of effort into preparing activities for us today. The topic of the meeting was culture and the students talked about Chinese culture and history. We listened to some classical music, a student performed a dance, a couple of students sung, and one student performed Kung Fu. We also played a game with chopsticks. Erika, Jeff and myself had to pick up ping-pong balls with chopsticks in both hands and then climb through some string that had been strung across the classroom. It was all going fine, until I slipped on the floor and Jeff took out first prize. All 3 of us were very impressed with the efforts of the students and grateful for the chance to learn more about Chinese culture.
