Wonderful Summer

    This year, my summer was spent with Taiwanese teachers. We built up a close relationship with them. At the beginning, I felt uncomfortable to communicate with them since it was my first time to meet Taiwanese teachers and I was afraid of embarrassing myself or my school if I didn’t act appropriately. But Taiwanese teachers’ kindness eased my nerve and made me feel warm. Later after I got to know them better, I felt their simple sentiments, broad mind, enthusiastic attitudes, which helped me get rid of my worries and become generous and hospitable. 

    At the first meeting with Taiwanese teachers, I was so shy that I hided myself behind my classmates. My other classmates treated Taiwanese teachers with enthusiasm and the teachers were generous and nice. The atmosphere was extremely warm. I was envious and nervous. Suddenly, a Taiwanese teacher walked towards me and said hi to me. At that moment, I was so afraid that my legs were shaking. However, my classmates encouraged me. In order not to embarrass myself, I walked to her and began to talk with her. The first meeting let me feel Taiwanese people’s enthusiasm, kindness, and simplicity.

Afterwards, I became generous and enthusiastic, which due to Taiwanese teachers’ warmth and encouragement. Through communications with them, my Mandarin was better and I became closer to teachers and classmates. Taiwanese teachers brought me more happiness, broader knowledge, and deeper understanding of our motherland. “As a Chinese, if you don’t understand China, how can you become a Chinese?”- Every word of those teachers was carved in my heart. I appreciate their company, which made my summer colorful and filled my empty brain with tons of knowledge. I had a fulfilling summer!

Lots of beautiful stories happened in this summer, which made those days amazing. I will take this summer as my precious memory.
