Lessons

My program, ILP, encourages all the schools to organize classes for us English teachers so we can learn more about their culture. We didn’t have very many lessons (part of this could’ve been our fault for not organizing them), but we were able to have many Chinese lessons, a cooking class, a pottery class, a couple Ku Fung lessons, and play badminton many times.

Chinese Lessons: These were taught by our native coordinator, Mary, and we had it almost every other week.

Cooking: Mary also taught us how to make dumplings! As shown in this post.

Pottery: The pottery teacher taught us how to make pots. Sadly, he didn’t let us keep anything, but it was still fun!

Kung Fu Lessons: We had the most legit Kung Fu teacher who gave us a few lessons. He taught us some defense moves and the basic Kung Fu sequence.

Badminton: We got really into playing badminton the last couple of weeks in China and we started getting pretty good at it! The school has a class of orphans that would come in and play with us all the time (these kids were GOOD) and we had so much fun!
