  • good evening,teacher.  I have read the contect about next class.l like the title about happiness. different people have different ideas.on my eyes,living with families is my happiness.and i think long time what i should take tomorrow. there are little important things i take from my home. at last ,i choose one thing that  is important to every students.i hope we can have many exchanges,tomorrow.and hope you have a good mood.perhaps we do something that you dissatisfied.i want to say sorry. wish we have a happy class.good night

    • Well Hetty, I believe that I am not moody anymore (as I was when I was younger), but things happen unforeseen and one has to deal with it. Like today .. But I must admit I knew it was coming (I expected it) as I know boys well by now! So, sorry that it had a negative influence on you and the rest of the class. I however believe that it will just get better as we advance on this path together. So, be of good cheer (be encouraged)!

  • Teacher, I have know that every student should bring three  significative or specific objects to class ,and we will also describe them to our group members.I think it is a good opportunity to share our moods with others.About happyness, everyone have different oppions .Through this discussion,we will think about the values which guide ourselves lifes.

  • Hello,teacher!I have known what  we will do tomorrow.I think that bringing three important things to the class sounds interesting,and I have chosen these things already.Besides,the discussion:Are you happy? is very necessary for us.And we can learn some vocabulary from it.I am looking forward to taking the next lesson.See you tomorrow teacher!

  • Good evening, john,this is Ann.First of all,I should  say sorry to you for I do not comment last time.I will not forget to do it .I read the content of next class careful .About  the significant objects,I think everyone has their own ideas.My important thing maybe nothing to others,but it must be special to me.About the question"are  you happy ?" Every has their own happiness,maybe it is just a sentence from the one we care about,or a small beautiful stone.See you tomorrow .

    • Yes, I agree Ann, happiness can also be in the smaller things of life. Even just a friendly greeting from the guard at the entrance gate one morning can bring happiness. It happened to me today as the two friendly guards were on duty today at Nan men and their friendliness made my day starting well!

  • Good evening,John.I read content of next class just now.I;m willing to share with my important objects.They have significant for me.I think this will let each other know more.Looking forward to tomorrow's class.See you tomorrow.

  • Good evening,John.I'm interested in tomorrow's subject.I'm glad to share my important things with others and the story behind in those things.There are my joy and sorrow behind these things .And I also want to know the story of  others.And I'm gald to see that you not only teach our but also want to understand us. I think it's the biggest difference between you class and other teacher's class. Looking forward to the next class.

    • I wonder how you figured that out, Cao Mengtao, that I am trying to understand the students?! I can't remember that I said that; but your assumption is quite correct. I am just surprised that you realized that. I may be a little strict at times, especially in the beginning of a semester, but it is because I believe the discipline is necessary. It does not mean that I do not care for the students. Even today ... the fact that I got unhappy with the two boys doesn't mean that I don't like them. I believe that in the end it will be to their advantage to be strict with them now. The only pity is that it doesn't have a pleasant effect on the rest of the class. But it'll get better, believe me!

  • Hello,John.I have readed the contect about the next class.I like the first activity better because I like to share something which I like with my friends.As for the second activity,I am looking forward to discussion it with my classmates.I think it is hard to describe feelings in simple way,because different people have different viws.
