Daily Life in Beijing!

The CLCC welcomed all of our lovely and energetic students back after a no-class Friday last week. In this week, we together “went to” Beijing, which is the capital of China, experiencing Beijingers’ lives by “taking subways”, “watching movies”, “going shopping”, “eating roast ducks” as well as “seeing spots”.

We worked in groups to design our own ways of visiting the city on the subway maps designed and made by two leading teachers Deng laoshi (Mrs. Deng) as well as Li laoshi (Mr. Li). As teachers, we are more than glad to see all students actively engaged in both learning the language and designing routines. In the end of our class, kids got a chance to taste roast ducks from Eugene!
