旁边一个大姐就很严肃地看着我说,咱们国家的领导干部都是高素质的人,怎们能说都腐败呢。我想也是,家丑怎么能外扬呢,于是就改口说,excuse me, I meant "policy". officials develop policies.

4 d4 b5 L# O2 F$ `: k" ?3 ZYou are right in that many teachers who went to China to teach English do not have many good ways to teach. The reason is that most of them have not much experience of teaching in their own country, let alone any knowledge of educational theories. I once had a teacher, who used to be a lawyer in the States. Everyday at the beginning of the class, all of us had to stand up and pratice breathing----hold breath for a minute or something, then exhaled slowly. He said this would make us speak English better. Another funny thing he asked us to do is to say a sentence with different tones. It was ok to do this, but he asked us to do this one by one to him. Then all the rest of class had to go outside the classroom. When he faked the question if it was ok, a very loud NO surprised him. He asked why and my classmate asked him why, why did he waste our time? From then on, he started to plan his lessons more carefully and more meaningfully.

我上大学的时候外教口语老师烂透了,有一次有个老师让我们用英文形容他,哎呀我的妈啊,搭上我们班女生多巴,一个个都春心荡漾的,什么handsome阿,哎呀我的妈啊,就算外国人鼻子高吧,您也不能忽略那满脸烂创阿。我差点没当场噎死。
