Just thought you might like to see a photo of one of my classes. This is my Thursday class of advanced english learners. They are a really great bunch of students.
Unfortunately these are very bad photos. I realised I didn't have the camera set up properly. I'll have to take some more next week, or maybe tomorrow. The fella with the red jacket on and the messed up blurry face is named Ba Yuen but his English name is Lemon. He is one of my mates and we drink beer and eat Shou Cou every Tuesday before I speak at his English Club (he is the president of english club - and there are over 200 members who attend each week!). Cindy is the girl up the front with the striped jacket and next to her is Monica, they both have very good English and Cindy has a crazy imagination (which is quite rare in many chinese students).
Here if you can read my horrible blackboard writing, I am trying to teach them how to differentiate English sounds from Chinese sounds ('Hang' in the chinese vocabulary is pronounced Hung and men is pronounced Mn). So this was a fun lesson getting them to say words like sink and think, hung, hand, sung, sang, sing, sin, win, wine etc...So yeh, now most of them can pronounce these words properly (with a thick Australian accent to boot!). I 'sink' they enjoyed it very much haha. Thanks to the guys from elt edge for the sweet lesson plan (our American friends we met in Qingdao). I'll try to repay the favour a.s.a.p!
O.k, I promise better pictures later on, but now, I am le tired... so I will have a nap.

I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees.
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to teach.
You know that you could tell them anything and they would buy it. Think of the possibilities... you could have your own noob army!
