Cool! T: Very good! Are you interested in keeping the conversation going? I’d like you to practice it with your partners. Then I’ll ask some of you to act out your dialogues. A few minutes later. T: Does anybody like to go on with the conversation with your partner? Ss: Diane = D

Rob = R D: And what do you think of your first language class? R: Not bad! In the beginning, Miss Wang introduced herself to the whole class.

D: Sounds good! How about your English assistant teacher? R: She is very beautiful and her English is as fluent as her Chinese. Miss Wang is very kind but strict with her students.

Her teaching is so lively and interesting that we can easily remember what she teaches us. We all like to attend her lectures.

D: Do you think that Chinese is very difficult for foreigners to learn? R: Yes. But I enjoy learning Chinese. And it will be convenient for foreigners to communicate with the Chinese if we learn it well. D: You’re right. I believe if you keep on studying, your Chinese will be improved.

But I have been interested in English since Tom taught us. What do you think of Tom? S1: Excellent! His oral English is very fluent and his pronunciation is very good. His teaching method is very interesting and his words are humorous.
