From Grits to Chopsticks

Two weeks ago, we launched our University’s first Winter English Camp (with the usual speeches):29 English teachers came to the camp from 16 different vocational colleges. Our objective was to help them improve their oral English and their English teaching skills:Since the first Thursday of camp fell on Thanksgiving Day, we used that opportunity to talk about holidays: Holidays provide a unique opportunity to have special English lessons with student involvement: This year was also a special time for birthday cakes.  I received a cake and flowers from our foreign affairs office:two cakes from our on-campus English corner:and another cake from some special friends:  It’s been a very busy period of time, but hopefully, one that was meaningful to everyone involved.
