tonight i was invited by my madarin student L to have a dinner with him. spaghetti. he cooked it himself. nice, i should say. then we talked for a long time, freely, about the PGCE, university life, present life...everything. i found he was quite interested in China and Chinese culture, and definitely believed in science (instead of god, religion, something like that). He did martial art, guitar, and even went to open university doing maths and Astronomy. He quitted the full-time job and went on as a freelance(self-employed), which runs quite well at the moment. interesting life. colourful.

 

when he knew that i was going to take PGCE in mandarin, he said:" now you are going to be here for years! become English then~..." hmm...yeah, but maybe not years. i don't know, really don't know, at the moment.

 

let's see what's happening then.
