Hi guys! I have just finished my 3rd week of classes! It has been a busy week here for sure! This week I was assigned to a small group that had to lead an hour and a half discussion on using multi-media in the classroom (video, audio, websites, etc.) and today I had a big teaching demonstration (I had to pretend to teach a class). I learned a lot, but it was a lot of work. Also, we still had all of our regular language classes. The first few weeks I got all in the 90's on my quizzes, but this week I was so busy working on projects that I got one score in the 70's. Plus, no retakes. :( Today during the teaching demonstrations my classmates did a great job at only speaking Chinese to their students. This is something I really want to work on, so it was good to see how they did it.
This week during my off time (not much) I went to a clothing market near the Beijing Zoo. There are about 5 buildings in the market, and each one has a bunch of little stalls that sell clothes. Some were really expensive, but others were really cheap ($1 dresses, etc.). I didn't buy anything this time, but I want to go back again. Also, I found fun little store that sells lots of little beads and stickers and trinkets, so I will go back there to buy things for my prize box.
Tonight I am going to see an acrobatic show! I hope you guys are having fun!
