My Yichang story
2015-11-12 08:42:57

  When I entered CTGU,I had founded that there were a lot of foreign students studying in our university.I also noticed that majority of them are black men.I asked my classmates why so much foreign students in our school were black men.They joked saying that our school was not famous,and China was a developing country.So majority of foreign students in our school came from poor countries.I have no discrimination against them.But I began to wonder why our university,even other universities in China cant attract developed countries’ students.

  The first time I got in touch with a foreigner was in a canteen.When my roommates and I were eating in the canteen.There was a group of foreign students celebrating one’s birthday.We felt surprised because they celebrated birthday as most Chinese students did.Suddenly one of them came to speak with us,asking for a piece of handkerchief.then we did.He began to join us.Then others laughed at him.We felt a little embarrassed.But we continued to chat with each other and exchange our QQ number.When we talked in wrong grammar or words.He pointed ithem out and corrected it kindly.So he gave us a good impression.But when we chatted on QQ.He sent many of his selfie to me.I thought he was a littlenarcissistic.

  There is another occasion I got in touch with foreign students.Last term our oral english teacher give us a task that we should talk with a foreigner and take a picture with them.I talked with a stranger finally asked for her help.She was friendly.

  According to these occasions,I have a good impression on foreign students.Most of them are willing to help you if you ask them for help.However ,I haven\'t made good friends with them.

  Once I asked one foreigner why he came to our university.He told me that he got the scholarship of our university.So I hope our university can be more famous and well known.

  Just as our city’s name-Yichang,it is a good place for living.But as the economy develop,the enviorment in our city become worse and worse.If our city want to attract more foreigners,we shouldnt develop the economy as the result of enviorment’s damage.

  I am a little shy when talking with foreigners. But I am glad to help them with English. Here are two stories that I help foreigners.

  One day I saw two foreigners shopping in the mall. It seemed that they were saying something to the assistant. But they couldn\'t understand each other. So I went over and translated for them. The foreigners finally got what they wanted.

  Another day I was on my way home when I saw a foreigner. He looked very worried. It seemed that he had lost his way. I went over and asked him,"What happened to you? Can I help you?"He was very pleased to hear that I could speak English. He told me he wanted to go to sogo. "I can lead you to there." I said. The foreigner finally got there.Hearing their thanks,I am very happy.

  Dont like Chinese, It is common for foreignersto ask people about their holidays. In the West many families go away on holiday during the summer months and so it is very usual to ask about this. If the holiday has not yet taken place,then their holiday plans can be talked about. And if it is already over,then where they went,whether they enjoyed it and so on can be discussed.

  Foreigners living and working in China often have frequent opportunities for travel,either at weekends or during their holiday periods.They may be particularly interested to hear comments on which places are worth visiting and why.

  But Chinese are more likely to earn money.When they want to travel.It often depends on their vacation time and money.when they travel,they are very hasty.Foreigners have a more enjoyable lifestyle.Our foreign teachers often tell us that they go to visit many Chinese view spots.

  The level of our civil life should develop,then we can live more happily.
