Morning, according to their level of English and the national student matching your classes, we group all 14 were collective classes (the original is actually 15 people, a man because of the intolerable "subhuman" Western life, only stayed for a week to waive, wind). Usually we separate accommodation, activities, are the "solo", twice weekly afternoon lessons into the reunion and the exchange of information, mutual of valuable time. Dini ·, Rodney and card-Ling · Dick responsible with our afternoon lessons. In the United Kingdom, coworkers, teachers and students of higher and University between the first name without the "mistake of chaos". We are in the dignity of Confucian culture environment grew up Chinese scholars do as the Romans do, dini and card-sweetheart that call not taboo. Dini has long been known to destiny of man, it still "sister-in-law" solitude, knee or no children, she, like all well educated Lady old England, has an outstanding figure dignified and elegant, subtle introverted that noble temperament non-youth girls can follow, like rare jewels like the passage as Carnival, have become more and more fascinating. Blond card-the Scotsman, age may be slightly longer than the dini, bachelorette, middle high, a homogeneous nature of the fringe, eyebrows and lively and happy. Dini school, she always tired and cumbersome to carrying large side bags bags into the classroom. These mysterious bag is packed with an electric kettle, two bottles of water, tea, paper cups and refreshments. Each time a break, she personally distribute our tea, tea, tea of bias or less to patiently ask them one by one. Dini's afternoon tea can help. Since falling to the United Kingdom, the original lifestyle all broke, no time to take a NAP, I drink hot water every day for a variety of procedures are busy, take care of the new life, many people still turn around time, much less to overcome language and cultural barriers caused by stress and anxiety. After spending half of toss, the afternoon classes, we have poor energy, dini's afternoon tea really is a rare happy hour, sometimes more than ten individuals will pass the biscuits, dini dessert eat, such as a gas even forget to leave a half block dini. I do not know if something goes wrong, we the public visiting scholars take it for granted that the dini's afternoon tea is the school contribution "free tea", so eat and drink it with a clear conscience. Until an accidental and card-Ling lift this topic, I discovered that she was willing to pay for the supply of refreshments, considerate to the presence of our waiter. We are grateful and nervous, since then, we'll often consciously zone on the biscuit, chocolate and other goodies to share with dini. According to card Bell, dini came from a noble family, her English accent with noble, University of Westminster's language school, only two teachers talk about this in English. Poor her aristocratic English, for those of us who is like a Buffalo, foreigners can understand her point is good, how to tell that she's noble tone? because long and we deal with these foreigners, dini has formed the articulation clearer, the brief career speak slowly. Dini most against us in the classroom to talk with Chinese, she even suggested we do also try to speak English. She said that you have is the time to speak Chinese, during the year, should, as far as possible, many speak English. Your countries took money for you, you should maximize the treasure. However, and his compatriots to speak English, have been called to each other, and Moreover we suspect are limited and uneven levels, and much-needed interoperability information, often took her out copy handouts, and other opportunities to talk to Chinese. There are times that we are too busy having fun laughing, dini I wonder when suddenly, we caught red-handed, she smiled and asked: "you're very warm, is to speak English?" L monitor immediately mark said: "Yes, of course!" Everyone was laughing. If when her face in Chinese conversation, she would not hesitate to protest: "Please speak English, I could not understand, think I excluded the circle outsiders!" in the classroom, in addition to imparting knowledge, she is to us to teach ways to learn English and provides information on United Kingdom culture. She will tell us how to go through the local library, where can I get a library card free of charge to the concert; she encouraged us to visit the museums, monuments, systematically went about the size of London; she urges us and our Chinese students to practise and help each other; she recommended we buy weekly of the Radio Times, according to the above programmes and timetables, selectively listen to watch English programmes ...

After each visit, she is not generous, please go to the nearby hotel breaks with tea. Dini is not Chinese, but her appreciation of the beauty of the Chinese characters that each square is just a picture. On one occasion, she spotted a parent remains write kanji old letters, I helped her to look at what it means.
